Kings Road, Godalming, Surrey, GU7

Sitting in a row of classic period cottages, this Farncombe home retains plenty of charm and character. With the scope to be extended (STPP), its easy flowing layout is well-presented and filled with a lovely flow of natural light.

Step in from an enclosed entry porch that gives an added level of privacy and you’ll instantly find yourself in an impressively generous sitting room styled with soft neutral hues and neutral carpeting. Wide chimney breast alcoves provide space for a desk/study area or for further fitted storage and a solid wood mantelpiece frames a fireplace that could be reinstated to give a hugely homely focal point.

Explore further and you’ll find an adjoining kitchen/dining room fully fitted with the rich timber tones of solid wood country cabinets that complement the heritage and detailing of this period cottage. The gently curved layout includes an integrated oven and hob as well as dedicated under counter space for a washing machine. Deep and wide, an under-stairs recess provides additional room for a freestanding fridge freezer, while one of the many solid wood doors that pepper the layout takes you into an inner hallway where a demi-glazed door leads to the garden. A deep cupboard supplies handy additional storage, while to the rear a ground floor bathroom with a wood panelled bath and overhead shower could be transformed into a deluxe contemporary space.

Upstairs two double bedrooms create an impressive sense of space, making this a home that could be equally perfect for anyone working from home, a young family or those looking to downsize. The loft above provides the chance to extend the layout and generate additional living space (STPP).

Outside
This Farncombe cottage has the potential to add a picture perfect welcome and a great place to enjoy drinks and barbeques in the summer sun. To the front a picket gate and fencing border an easy to maintain frontage filled with the leafy foliage of mature shrubs that subtly give privacy and distance from passers-by.

At the rear steps leads down to an excellently sized garden where high fencing lends privacy from neighbours. A considerable paved seating area is ideally sized for al fresco dining and a large lawn can be easily be re-turfed or seeded. Budding gardeners will love the chance to make this outdoor space their own with flowerbeds or planters, while a timber shed gives the added benefit of external storage for bikes and tools.
