Silverdale Avenue, Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, KT12

Characterful five bedroom family home set in a private estate location.

Description

Built in 1934 and occupying a prominent corner plot within a highly sought after gated private estate in Surrey, this elegant five bedroom family home retains its timeless period charm while having undergone extensive renovation and redecoration throughout, including stylish new kitchens and bathrooms, all finished to an excellent standard.

The property enjoys an impressive approach, set behind wrought iron electric gates and positioned centrally within a generous plot. A substantial driveway provides ample parking and access to two detached garage blocks located either side of the house. The frontage is beautifully framed by mature shrubs and established planting, creating a striking and secluded setting when viewed from the road.

The inviting entrance hall immediately sets the tone for the home, featuring original beams, beautiful mirrored panelling and a fresh refined finish following the recent redecoration. The elegant drawing room offers a warm and welcoming space, with an open fireplace and wood burning stove as its focal point, complemented by double doors opening onto the rear terrace and garden. A formal dining room, also accessed from the entrance hall, enjoys attractive garden views and features a second fireplace, making it ideal for entertaining.

The generously proportioned brand new contemporary Shaker style kitchen has been tastefully designed and opens into a bright and tranquil breakfast room, with both spaces enjoying direct access to the garden. A separate utility room leads off the kitchen and provides a side door to the exterior. To the front of the property is a beautifully presented study family room, offering a versatile space for home working or relaxed family time. A guest cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.

An oak staircase with original panelling rises to the first floor landing. From here, the triple aspect principal bedroom benefits from spacious proportions and a generous ensuite bathroom, all presented in excellent decorative order. There are four further bedrooms, two of which share a jack and jill bathroom, while a well appointed family bathroom completes the first floor.

A particular highlight of the property is the outstanding garden. A manicured lawn is complemented by patio areas to the rear and side of the house, perfectly positioned to enjoy the afternoon and evening sun and ideal for relaxing or entertaining during the summer months. The garden is filled with a wide variety of flowering shrubs and plants, while mature trees around the boundaries provide colour privacy and seclusion throughout the year. The gardens benefit from a full irrigation system and feature a pretty water feature, enhancing the tranquil setting.
