Coulsdon, Surrey

THE PROPERTY Full of character and period charm, this impressive double-fronted detached home offers generous and versatile accommodation arranged over three floors, situated within walking distance of local shops, open green spaces and excellent transport links into London.

The ground floor boasts a spacious open-plan lounge/diner, with a bay window to the front and bi-folding doors opening onto the garden at the rear - a light-filled space perfect for both everyday living and entertaining, with the same flooring flowing outside, creating a fantastic sense of indoor/outdoor living. Wrapping around, the extended kitchen is fitted with timeless shaker-style units, a ceramic sink, double oven with extractor hood and drinks fridge. There are two skylights at the rear, letting in plenty of natural light. A separate reception room to the front, currently used as a cosy sitting/music room, offers flexibility as a formal dining room, playroom or study. Running the length of the property, a utility room with front and rear access is a practical addition, particularly for families with bikes, pets or outdoor hobbies. A convenient downstairs W/C completes this floor.

Upstairs, the first floor offers three well-proportioned double bedrooms and a generous family bathroom, fitted with a freestanding bath, walk-in rainfall shower and twin sinks. The second floor is dedicated to the principal suite - a private retreat with far-reaching viewings, benefitting from a double bedroom, fitted wardrobes, ensuite bathroom and a kitchenette, ideal for extended family or guests.

The beautifully maintained rear garden extends to approximately 70ft, surrounded by mature trees and pretty planting, and is thoughtfully tiered over three levels - two of which are laid to lawn - offering superb areas for both relaxation and entertaining. A large shed sits to the rear for additional storage. To the front, a gravel driveway provides off-street parking for four/five cars, with further on-street parking available.
