Stacey's Meadow, Elstead, Godalming, Surrey, GU8

Sitting peacefully towards the rear of a prestigious private cul de sac, the refined architecture of a double fronted façade instantly creates an engaging introduction to this detached family residence. In a gently elevated position behind a broad brick-paved driveway, the hung tiles and varying hues of its brickwork blend together with a canopied doorway to prompt a quintessential feel.

Step inside and you’ll find a wonderfully fluid layout with a wealth of versatility to match your own needs and lifestyle. Classically elegant in its presentation and impressively proportioned in its design, this is a house that’s equally suited to family life or working from home.

A wide central hallway instantly generates a sense of space leading the way to a duo of large reception rooms that sit to the rear looking out onto the colour and greenery of the attractively landscaped garden. With generous spaces in which to relax, dine and entertain, each one is filled with natural light from French doors that entice you out into the sunshine. The main sitting room has the focal point of a discerningly chosen fireplace and the adjacent double aspect dining room is ideal for everyday meals or evenings with friends.

The notable dimensions continue in a separate study with its range of fitted bookshelves and cupboards making it an excellent dedicated space for working from home but equally well-adapted for use as a hobby area or playroom, if preferred.

Designed to provide a great measure of storage and workspace, the kitchen is fully fitted with the warming timber tones of Shaker-style cabinets housing an array of integrated appliances that includes tower ovens, a gas hob and a dishwasher. The double aspects of the room enhance the feeling of light and space further still and the adjoining utility has handy side access to the garden. Tucked discreetly back from the hallway, a cloakroom completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, a central landing unfolds onto a selection of four double bedrooms all benefitting from tasteful fitted wardrobes. With south-west facing garden views, the large principal bedroom has the added luxury of a contemporary en suite shower room while together the others share a well-presented bathroom with a traditional suite that includes a corner bath.

Outside
When you open the twin sets of French doors, the beautifully landscaped rear garden becomes an easy flowing extension of the reception rooms, giving you every opportunity to step out into the summer sun and enjoy your surroundings. A paved area has an abundance of space for al fresco dining and entertaining, while a stone framed path sweeps up and around a circular lawn to the shade of a perfectly placed arbour. A further lawn leads to a second seating area that adds a blissful hideaway for an afternoon coffee.

Tucked away at the side of the house is a garden shed and a bin storage area with sloped exit to the rear of the garage. To the front of the house, a broad brick-paved driveway and detached double garage supply off-road parking for several vehicles, framed by established planting and the wrought iron railings that reach out across the raised entrance of the property.
