Grove Road, Hindhead, Surrey, GU26

1930’s detached three bedroom house; comprehensively modernised to provide vibrant and interactive family accommodation with an exceptional south facing garden plus garage/office/workshop and driveway parking. Offered with no onward chain.

This character home has been transformed with technological enhancements whilst still retaining numerous charming character features. All within easy reach of the village centre in a plot which extends almost 200 ft.

To the front the house enjoys a courtyard style garden with a central pathway leading up to the front door. The driveway extends down the side of the house and offers 4 off road parking spaces to the rear in addition to garage complex; a large outbuilding which provides a garage, workshop and home office. Complete with EV charge point and outside power points.

The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall with engineered oak flooring which extends across much of the ground floor.

The current snug (which would have been the sitting room historically) has plenty of character enjoying a bay window, glazed door and central Jet master multi fuel fire.

However, the real family space of the home is found extending across the whole of the rear of the property, benefitting from a triple aspect and overlooking the stunning gardens, with south facing bi-folding doors allowing plenty of natural light to flood the room. This generous room has space for both dining and lounge furniture with attractive part panelled walls as a back drop. Clever use of technology can transform this room at the touch of a button into a cinema room; curtains close, lights dim and a projection screen drops from the ceiling, and sonus speakers provides accompanying surround sound. Imagine watching great movies, live sporting events, and magnificent wildlife programmes. Music shows suddenly taking on a concert like atmosphere; all from the comfort of your own home.

A rear lobby provides a useful spot to hang coats, and the shoe nook has underfloor heating to dry wet and muddy boots.

Linking the two reception spaces is superb kitchen; hand craft and installed by Neptune kitchens featuring a large Fisher and Paykel range cooker, butlers sink, central island/breakfast bar and plenty of storage options. A log burning stove evokes memories of cosy farmhouse days baking, cooking and nattering over a warm pot of tea. Completing the ground floor is an all-important cloakroom.

Moving to the first floor there are three bedrooms all of which are doubles. Of particular note is the spacious vaulted master bedroom with a south facing Juliette balcony (allowing elevated views over the garden) twin built in wardrobes and en suite shower room. The family bathroom is contemporary with underfloor heating and Duravit Happy D bathroom suite.

Viewing is needed to fully appreciate the quality and attention to detail throughout the home.

The grounds have been fully landscaped, with an impeccable eye for detail, to maximise their full potential with an area to suit every member of the family, most of which is south facing. Immediately adjacent to the house is a large patio area which is proceeded by a good sized lawn edged by a low retaining wall with two steps up to a feature circular additional patio and a pergola covered pathway (fragrant in Spring thanks to it’s trailing white wisteria) up to the garage/workshop/office and upper garden area. There is a side gate onto driveway parking for several vehicles. Beyond this is a hidden garden, a large low maintenance space perfect for entertaining with an Italian hand made pizza oven and summerhouse kitted out as the perfect bar with light, power and fridge. It is fully insulted with a heater so can be used through the year. Completing the scene is a charming treehouse, complete with WiFi connection for a modern hideaway. Flowerbeds and borders are well stocked with mature plants including eating and cooking apple trees.
