Oaks Lane, Bookham, KT23

A stylish four-bedroom family home forming part of Great Oaks, an exclusive gated development on Oaks Lane in Great Bookham, thoughtfully designed and built by the highly regarded Shanly Homes.

The property enjoys an enviable position close to Bookham railway station and moments from the National Trust-owned Bookham Commons, which provides an extensive network of woodland paths, open grassland, ponds and scenic routes for walking, running, cycling and dog walking. The village’s independent shops, cafés, pubs, restaurants and highly regarded schools are also within easy reach.

The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall, complete with a downstairs cloakroom, useful under-stair storage and access to the principal ground-floor living space.

The heart of the house is the impressive open-plan kitchen, sitting and dining room. The kitchen offers generous preparation space, a comprehensive range of fitted floor and wall-mounted cupboards and integrated appliances. The adjoining sitting and dining areas provide ample room for everyday family life and entertaining, with bi-fold doors opening directly onto the landscaped rear garden.

The first floor offers a further spacious reception room, providing a versatile additional living space that could be used as a family room, television room or more formal sitting room.

Also on this floor is the principal bedroom, which benefits from fitted wardrobes and a private en-suite shower room. A further room is currently arranged as a study but would also make an excellent fourth bedroom, nursery or dressing room.

A second staircase leads to the top floor, where there are two further well-proportioned double bedrooms, both served by a modern family bathroom.

Outside, the property benefits from driveway parking for two cars, leading to a private garage that provides secure parking and useful additional storage. The rear garden has been attractively landscaped for ease of maintenance, with a paved patio ideal for outdoor dining and a further decked seating area.

The secure gated development, modern construction and manageable garden give the property excellent lock-up-and-leave appeal. It would therefore suit not only families and commuters, but also buyers who travel regularly or would like the convenience of a low-maintenance home without sacrificing generous and flexible accommodation.
