Description

Garden Lodge is an attractive detached home of character on a private drive, dating from the 1930s with later additions, and situated under approx. 2 miles from the thriving village of Chipstead, with its common, two public houses, a lake and a sailing club. The property, which comes to the market with no onward chain, offers bright and well proportioned accommodation that is immaculately presented throughout and arranged over one floor. Salient points include a contemporary kitchen, stylish bathroom suites, engineered wood flooring, solid oak internal doors, Crittall doors, four bedrooms, a versatile annexe, private, part walled rear garden, garage and driveway parking. Also of note is the proximity to Radnor House and Sundridge primary school both 0.4 miles by footpath , together with excellent road and rail links.

The well proportioned sitting and dining rooms are connected via a set of striking Crittall doors, with French doors providing access to the rear garden from the sitting room. A bedroom has a view over the garden and is accessed via the sitting room. The dining room features a charming window seat, and is open to the kitchen, creating an ideal space, perfect for informal entertaining.

The stylish kitchen is well appointed with a range of Shaker style wall and base units, integral appliances by AEG, a breakfast bar and a door to outside.

There are two double bedrooms, one with a square bay window and another with fitted wardrobes, served by a modern en suite shower room, and a well appointed bathroom.

Adjacent to the property is a versatile annexe, with a decked terrace to the front, comprising a sitting room, double bedroom with a bank of fitted storage and an en suite shower room. A garage adjoins the annexe.

The part walled rear garden forms a lovely backdrop to the property, with two separate seating areas, one with a garden bar and both ideal for al fresco dining, and a level expanse of lawn enclosed by established shrubs and close boarded fencing, creating a high degree of privacy.

To the front, a series of well stocked shaped brick edged beds incorporate a set of steps leading to the front door. A shingle drive leads to the garage and a side pedestrian gate provides access to the rear garden.
