London Road North, Merstham

Guide Price £820,000 to £840,000 Hunter & Company are delighted to offer this spacious and extended four-bedroom family home, with a fantastic plot of circa 0.60 acres. The extensive plot and delightful semi-rural outlook make this property stand out from the rest. Our client has vastly improved and upgraded the house into a traditional, stylish and comfortable family home.

One of the major selling points is the woodland-style garden, which provides a beautiful space for all the family and friends to come and enjoy. This area is a hidden gem and those with children couldn't ask for a better adventure playground for camping and outdoor activities. With the added addition of a 25ft x 15ft Gym/Summer House/Home Office, this really can accommodate the whole family. The main garden is easily managed as the range of established shrubs and roses have largely replaced the lawns.

The front garden is larger than most homes' entire plots, set right back from the road with parking for several cars. There is the added extra luxury of an oak-framed car barn with sheltered parking for two vehicles. The winding path then leads you from the drive, past the pond and up to the front door, barely within view from the road.

The property itself comprises; an open entrance hall, which leads into a study or additional seating area. The 20ft lounge has a bay overlooking the front garden, a feature fireplace and then double doors leading through to the conservatory. This offers a lovely panoramic view of the garden with double doors out to the updated composite decked patio.

On the other side of the house is the gorgeous 22ft x 19ft L-shaped kitchen/dining room with triple aspect to the front, back and side. With the added benefit of a separate utility room, the space is envy-inducing. This shaker-style kitchen is finished in an on-trend grey, with a range of base and wall units, solid wood worktops, a breakfast bar, space for a range-style cooker, various integrated appliances and wooden cladding to the walls. Double doors lead you out to the decked patio. There is also a door leading back to the entrance hall and dining room. Completing the ground floor is a useful WC.

The first-floor landing is light and airy with doors leading to all four bedrooms and the family bathroom. The master bedroom is a lovely space, measuring 16ft with a stunning vaulted ceiling, a Juliet balcony overlooking the rear garden and an en-suite shower room. There are two further double bedrooms facing the front and rear then a single bedroom/study. The family bathroom was refitted in 2022 and is such a luxurious space, complete with a freestanding bath, separate double shower and skylight window.

This house is a family home and ticks so many boxes. Our vendors have spent an awful lot of time and money creating such a space, one we know will not disappoint.

The property is located within the well-liked area of Merstham, there is a real sense of community here.

One other hidden gem, just on the outskirts of the village by Nutfield Marsh is Mercers Country Park, a significant nature reserve established around a former quarry pit. The historic pit is now Mercers Lake, which is used for water sports and offers idyllic views over the Greensand Ridge as well as plenty of public footpaths for dog walkers. Across from the Lake is the ever-popular 'Inn on the Pond' country pub, where many a Summer's day can be lost sitting outside enjoying a cold beverage, whilst watching the cricket being played on the green.
