Oaken Coppice, Ashtead

It’s a genuine privilege to present 22 Oaken Coppice to the open market; a substantial 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom, detached family home, built in the 1970’s and subject to an extensive renovation project in recent years, creating something truly unique. Here you will find every comfort of a modern, low maintenance home, with tasteful mid-century styling cues and personality throughout. A large south facing plot and close proximity to the sought after City of London Freemen’s school make this a rare find indeed.

The heart of the home is a superb kitchen, crafted by Oliver James. Framed in hardwood cabinetry and elegantly styled, it features top-tier appliances: a Fisher & Paykel induction hob with gas wok ring, Fisher and Paykel fridge freezer, built-in Neff dual ovens, combi microwave, coffee machine, a Quooker hot tap, wine fridge; all designed to elevate everyday living and effortless entertaining. This space connects seamlessly with the dining room and onto a broad patio, perfect for sociable summer evenings.

The main sitting room spans over 23 feet and opens directly to the south-facing garden, offering an impressive yet inviting space filled with natural light. A more informal snug and a generous utility room — created when the house was cleverly extended to join the double garage; provide flexible family space and practical flow. A formal reception hall, and W/C complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms include a generous main suite, along with two further doubles (both with en-suites) and a fourth bedroom currently fitted with a pull-down bed — ideal as a study or occasional guest room. The family bathroom is finished to a high standard with quality materials and fittings.

Outside, the half-acre plot has been completely re-landscaped, with a resin-bound carriage driveway to the front and a beautifully sculpted rear garden arranged over two level lawns and a large, sociable terrace. Two fully insulated outbuildings — a garden studio and gym — are powered and ideal for home working or leisure use, with atmospheric outdoor lighting completing the scene.
