Monks Road, Virginia Water, Surrey

Saranac is a highly impressive family home that features red brick and tiled elevations with attractive exposed timber framing, while inside there is elegantly appointed accommodation including four airy reception rooms.

The accommodation flows from a welcoming reception hall with wooden flooring and turned staircase leading to the first-floor landing. Ground floor reception rooms include the 22ft sitting room, which has a bay window to the front and full-height windows and French doors opening to the peaceful garden at the rear, as well as a feature fireplace with an ornate decorative surround. Double doors connect the sitting room to the formal dining, which overlooks the rear garden with its panoramic bay window. Further ground floor living space includes the study for private home working, as well as the sunny conservatory. The ground floor also has a well-equipped kitchen with bespoke wooden fitted units and integrated appliances, including a dishwasher, dual ovens and a gas hob with an extractor, plus a useful utility room for further home storage and laundry appliances.

Upstairs there are five well-appointed double bedrooms, four of which benefit from built-in storage. These include the generous principal bedroom, which overlooks the rear garden and features an en suite bathroom with a chic, modern suite. Both the en suite and the first-floor family bathroom have floor-to-ceiling tiling, close coupled WCs and washbasins with storage underneath, and mirrored vanity units, as well as bathtubs with over-bath showers.

At the front of the property, a gravel driveway provides ample parking and leads to a double garage offering further parking, storage and workshop space. The front garden features a lawn and well tended borders, while the rear garden includes a patio for al fresco dining, a lawn beyond and a variety of shrubs and hedgerows. Mature trees shelter the gardens to the front and rear, creating a peaceful, secluded setting and ensuring a high degree of privacy from neighbouring properties.
