Picture-perfect character home in centrally located private road.

Description

Tucked away in one of Esher’s most exclusive and tranquil private roads, this enchanting thatched residence offers an exceptional blend of traditional charm, modern comfort, and generous living space. Set behind mature planting and approached via a sweeping carriage driveway this home promises privacy, character, and an effortlessly elegant lifestyle. Boasting 3,500 sq ft of internal accommodation, the property has been thoughtfully arranged to provide extensive living and entertaining areas on the ground floor, perfectly suited to both everyday life and hosting.

Behind its charming façade, adorned by an impressive wisteria, lies a welcoming entrance hall which leads to the front aspect reception room. With its feature fire place, bay window and bespoke cabinetry, this is the perfect space for cosy nights in but also formal entertaining. This room opens to the expansive orangery which runs almost the full width of the property. With plenty of space for a large dining table and a seating area this room enjoys wonderful views and direct access to the rear garden via double doors. It is flooded with natural light and benefits from air conditioning, while underfloor heating runs throughout the ground floor, ensuring year-round comfort. To one end of this room a door leads to the study, which benefits from a large window looking into the orangery and direct access to the garden.
The kitchen is located to the front of the property and offers a range of traditional style cabinetry, integrated appliances, central island and space for a breakfast table and chairs, ideal for morning coffee in the bay window. Behind there is a formal dining area which in turn leads back through to the orangery. This really is a theme of the property, the wonderful flow from room-to-room across the ground floor. A utility room is off the dining area.
The ground floor accommodation continues into a superb, light-filled spacious studio with three skylights overhead, currently utilised as a pottery and art space. With its own private entrance, access from the orangery, and an adjacent modern shower room, this area is ideally suited as a self-contained annexe or fourth bedroom with en-suite facilities, perfect for a family member or long-term guest, offering versatility for creative or leisure use if desired.

Upstairs, the bedrooms are peaceful and cocooning, offering calm at the end of a busy day. The principal suite feels like a quiet hideaway with dressing room and en suite bathroom, while the additional bedrooms create space for family and guests with another en suite and additional family bathroom.

To the rear, the garden is a wonderfully private space and benefits from a terrace spanning the full width of the house; perfect for outdoor entertaining. A lawn leads to the swimming pool, ideal for family fun. A charming summer house offers an idyllic space from which to enjoy the garden. To the front a large carriage driveway provides parking for numerous cars.
