The Property
The property is approached to the end of the cul de sac end of Matlock Way, offering tranquility from passing by traffic. The property has been in the same hands since 2004 and is now being offered for sale for downsizing reasons. The current owner has thought extensively enlarged the house to its current form to offer comfortable living.
A monoblock driveway with off-street parking for three cars leads, up a few steps, to a part-glazed front door. A spacious entrance hall, with wood strip flooring and a ceiling height of approx. 2.61m, offers a bespoke designed stairwell that leads to the first floor.
A large, rear-facing formal drawing/dining room offers great entertaining space and leads onto the tiled conservatory. The Family room benefits from a large bay window to the front and is open onto a study area.
The ceramic-tiled kitchen, which offers a wealth of bespoke designed wall and base units with granite surfaces, is in immaculate condition and gives access to the rear garden and terrace. There is also a wealth of integrated stainless-steel appliances with a ceramic tiled splash back.
The laundry room, off the kitchen, is also of a generous size with space and plumbing for 3 appliances, a ceramic tiled floor but with a laminate surface and stainless-steel sink and drainer. There is a side door and a wall mounted VAILLANT gas fired boiler.
The easy rising staircase leads to a spacious landing, with a large service hatch to the spacious loft with a drop-down ladder.
The first floor offers four very spacious bedrooms with three bathrooms (two en suite). The main bedroom also offers a tiled balcony with views over the rear garden with stone bollards. All the bedrooms also benefit from either walk in dressing rooms or a range of built in wardrobes.
What is noticeable from being around the house, is that it is very bright, mainly for being South facing with stunning elevated views over Surrey from the second-floor bedrooms to the front of the house.
Outside
The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn, bordered by mature shrubs and trees, with an Indian Sandstone rear terrace offering excellent space for outdoor entertaining. There is access to the front from the gated side access.
