5 Bed Detached House For Sale

A charming and characterful Grade II listed period home located on a no-through road within Ashtead Village. The property is believed to date back to the mid 1600's operating as a bakery up until the 1920s.

The current owners have carried out an extensive refurbishment programme on the property including an extension off the main reception room, a recently created new kitchen diner with Bosch and AEG white goods, a new central heating system, re-plumbing, re-wiring and new beams where required.

Offering highly flexible living space the house is currently configured for five bedrooms, four bathrooms and five reception rooms including a gym that could, for example, easily be repurposed as an office/bedroom/playroom.

An impressive Victorian cast iron oven front and thermometer act as the centrepiece of the lounge complemented by the feature fireplace, beams and vaulted ceilings.
