Peperharow Road, Godalming, Surrey, GU7

Behind the greenery of Peperharow Road the elegant bay facade of this detached period home hints at the enviable proportions and impeccable levels of detailing and presentation within.

Exuding an accomplished measure of tastefully understated luxury and designed to let the south west facing gardens be seen at every opportunity, a thoughtfully arranged layout demonstrates a notable understanding of light and space, flowing fluidly to cater for modern family life.

Step in from the charm of an arched canopied porch and you’ll find a refined palette of heritage hues blending with the warming balance of wood floors. With the classic curve of bay windows, an exceptional sitting room offers a sophisticated yet relaxing place to unwind. An accent wall adds a sultry feel and whilst floating shelves nestle within the chimney breast alcoves the glow of an inset glass fronted fire conjures a family-friendly focal point.

However, when it comes to generating that all important wow factor the beautiful kitchen/dining/sitting room is really somewhere special. Subtly tiered to give delineation to the open plan design, from the moment you step inside your eyes are drawn to the tranquillity of the gardens that its spacious dimensions sit in perfect harmony with. In the spacious and versatile dining area a trio of perfectly placed pendants illuminates the ideal spot to sit, entertain and enjoy the garden vistas, whilst the equally impressive sitting room area is filled with sunlight from a large sky lantern. Framed by the symmetry of porthole windows, the bi-fold doors pull back, giving a wonderful interplay with the secluded terracing outside.

Adding a sleek minimalist aesthetic, the kitchen has a sky lantern of its own and pairs the timber tones of its softly closing handleless cabinetry with the rich ruby red pop of colour of glass splashbacks. A superb array of integrated appliances include eye-level ovens and the clean lines of further gloss white cabinets match the countertops which are Corian and a broad central island with bar stool seating.

A separate utility room keeps laundry hidden from view and a ground floor cloakroom is handy for guests and days spent in the garden.

The cohesive colour scheme and immaculate presentation is echoed upstairs where a selection of five bedrooms peppers the deftly extended layout. On the extensive first floor four unfold from a central landing that gives everyone their own feeling of space. Teenagers will inevitably make a beeline for a fantastic double bedroom that proffers an enticing alternative as a principal bedroom. Beneath the skylights of a vaulted ceiling it opens onto a Juliet balcony and has a walk-through dressing room area. A sublime en suite features a walk-in rainfall shower with an inset linear drain and alcove shelving, a landscape floating basin and a full size bath all arranged in a chic grey tile setting.

Across the landing a brilliantly sized second double bedroom is lit by the sweeping curve of bay windows. A third double bedroom has picture perfect garden vistas and an excellent single bedroom is currently used as a home office/study. Together they share a superior family bath/shower room that complements the en suite.

The wood flooring continues seamlessly up to the top floor where the peaceful sanctuary of a principal bedroom proffers the height of a further vaulted ceiling and the hidden storage of ample eaves cupboards. Bathed in sunlight, its en suite includes a glass framed walk-in shower and gives a final example of the considered attention to detail that each and every aspect of this home displays in abundance.

Outside
Utterly breathtaking and blissfully secluded, the prodigious south-west facing rear gardens effortlessly engender a magnificent backdrop and enhance the exceptional lifestyle that this home has to offer. Bordered by a bounty of leafy shrubs and trees that give colour and interest throughout the seasons, these are gardens that instantly make your shoulders relax and let you breathe.

A considerable paved terrace conjures an inviting extension of the kitchen/dining/sitting room providing you with every excuse to enjoy al fresco entertaining, while beneath the canopy of a feature tree pristine lawns tempt you to take a stroll to the rear where you can recline and dine in the shelter of an expansive contemporary pergola on a stylishly landscaped patio encompassed by beautifully planted flowerbeds. It’s there that’ll get the ideal vantage point to truly admire the tranquillity of these picturesque gardens.

At the front of the house the red and green of established shrubs in raised beds border a superbly sized brick paved driveway that together with the integral garage supplies the convenience of private off-road parking for several vehicles.
