Matlock Way, New Malden, Surrey, KT3

Originally built circa 1932, during 2017 the property underwent major works to include a two storey side extension, first floor extension to include the relocation of the stairs and bathroom to the first floor with the first floor sub divided to create further bedroom accommodation in accordance with the completion certificate (reference to planning consent 17/00903/FP).

This delightful, beautifully presented property is approached across a gravelled forecourt with parking for at least 3 cars to a solid front door with glazed side panels which lead into the L-shaped entrance hall with tall built in coats cupboards. There is a study immediately to the left with an oriel window with a Junkers desktop and also includes built in cupboards; one housing the Vaillant gas fired boiler and the other with space and plumbing for the washing machine and tumble dryer. There is also a wet shower room to this level with wash hand basin and low-level WC, offering the flexibility to use the rear dining room as a possible bedroom which has French doors to the rear decked terrace.

The front reception room features a stone fireplace surround with a granite base and is fired by Ethanol fuel completed with a cast iron hearth. The semicircular bay gives the room depth and being West facing introduces all the late afternoon sun.

The kitchen breakfast room offers generous accommodation with a range of white lacquered wall and base units with a quartz work surface and breakfast bar incorporating a range of appliances from a SAMSUNG fridge and freezer, dishwasher and a RANGEMASTER oven with a 7 ring gas hob and extractor fan above. The wood strip flooring leads up to the threshold with bi folding doors opening onto the decked terrace across the width of the extension which is also lit by a domed sky light in the middle of the room.

The easy rising staircase leads to four double bedrooms, two facing the front and two to the rear with a spacious family bathroom and an en suite shower to the main bedroom all beautifully appointed. Two of the bedrooms also benefit from built in cupboards.

To the rear section of the garden is a double glazed and insulated summer house equipped with power, making it ideal as an office, gym or a hobby room. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with mature bordering plants.
