4 Bed Detached House For Sale

Engendering a tremendous example of mid-century modern architecture, this detached family home sits within one of Godalming’s most coveted roads encompassed by gardens that offer a peaceful idyllic setting. Swathes of glazing, the high geometric pitch of its roof and wealth of superbly free flowing spaces remain respectful of the original architecture. Chain free and with scope to be extended (STNC), its well-presented layout unfolds over an impressive 2117sq ft and is ready to be refreshed and restyled.

Tucked back behind the majestically tall tree line of its gently raised driveway and lawn, a large porch combines with an expanse of floor to ceiling windows in the entrance hall to evoke an instant sense of the mid-century aesthetics. Hinting at the sense of space within, the roomy entrance hall is filled with light and entices you into a magnificently sized triple aspect reception room that evokes an immediate wow factor. Stretching out over an impressive 29’11ft x 15’1ft beneath the classic high pitch of a pine clad ceiling, this enchanting space generates an enviable sense of harmony with the gardens outside. Sliding doors give you every opportunity to step out into the fresh air and the prodigious dimensions spark the imagination. Enhancing the feeling of height and space further still, a solid wood mezzanine library reaches out above you across the full width of the room. With copious bookshelves, it culminates in a charming desk space illuminated by a perfectly placed porthole window.

Explore further and you’ll find a large inner hall leading to a duo of additional reception rooms each with their own doors to the wrap-around gardens. Creating scope to have a ground floor bedroom suite if preferred, a generous study has access to a bathroom making it a great option for guests or older family members. The fluidity of the mid-century design sees the hall extend seamlessly into the double aspect dining room giving an excellent open plan feel. French doors prompt you to enjoy an al fresco cocktail or aperitif, while a fully fitted country kitchen cleverly connects this versatile half of the house with the main reception room. With solid wood cabinets, integrated appliances and leafy views, its notable proportions easily accommodate a central breakfast table and allow it to become a natural heart and hub of the ground floor. An adjoining utility room has a more modern feel and convenient access to the gardens.

Upstairs the landing opens onto the reception room’s mezzanine and unfolds onto four beautifully light bedrooms filled with views of the surrounding trees. Each one has a high ceiling, and whilst the main bedroom benefits from a wall of fitted wardrobes, a large single bedroom has access to handy hidden storage within the eaves. A second bathroom completes the layout with a vintage baby blue suite that includes a wood panelled bath that adds a final reminder of the mid-century design. It’s easy to see, that this well-presented home gives you the option of moving in while you refresh and tailor its interior to suit your own tastes and needs.

Outside
Nestled with grounds and gardens that prompt a hugely calm and peaceful escape from the world outside, this detached Crownpits home looks out onto a wonderful measure of colour and greenery from each and every room.

At the front of the property a considerable lawn is framed by a row of statuesque trees that immediately lend a prized sense of privacy and allow the wide covered porch to be more that merely an entrance to the house. Gently elevated, a considerable driveway combines with the attached garage to supply private off-road parking to several vehicles.

Wrapping around the house giving you every excuse to step outside the considerable gardens to the rear prompt a cherished feeling of well-being. An established lawn is bordered by high clipped hedging and fencing and peppered with the changing colours of brilliantly mature shrubs that give interest throughout the seasons. A tremendous Scots Pine adds a striking focal point and adds to the tranquil air, and the level of peace and privacy is something to be cherished.
