4 bed detached house for sale

Heatherdene, West Horsley, Leatherhead, Surrey KT24

Magnolia is a wonderful detached family home, full of period charm and ideally located on a desirable private road. Offering 2,150 sq. Ft of living space, this beautifully presented property is chain-free and ready to welcome its next owners.

The smart entrance hall, featuring original wooden flooring and internal doors with leaded light windows, opens to the sitting room on the left and the dining room on the right. Both rooms reflect the character of the property's era, with an attractive brick fireplace in the sitting room and an elegant curved bay window in the dining room. Overlooking the front of the house, both rooms enjoy a naturally sunny aspect. The sitting room also provides access to the rear patio via a single glazed door.

To the rear of the hallway, a doorway leads into the extended open-plan kitchen, dining, and family room - the heart of the home. This space includes a relaxed seating area, modern fitted kitchen with a central island and breakfast bar, and lovely views of the rear garden. A glazed semi-pitched roof links the original structure to the new, creating a light and spacious feel throughout. Adding further charm is the unusual feature of an internal Juliet balcony, which adds character to the room. The kitchen is fitted with black granite worktops and wooden units, and includes a stainless-steel range cooker neatly recessed with a mosaic tile splash back. There is space for a dishwasher and a large American-style fridge/freezer. A door from the kitchen leads into the former garage, now thoughtfully converted to provide a generous utility room and useful storage area - ideal for bikes and household essentials.

The staircase ascends from the hallway, turning at the corner to reveal the original wood-spindled balustrade and handrail and gives way to the upstairs landing. A large rear-facing window here offers a delightful view of the rear garden, filling the space with natural light. A carpeted passageway links all five bedrooms, including four doubles and a flexible fifth bedroom/study. The principal bedroom is double aspect with stripped wooden floor, fitted wardrobes on either side of the bed and an en suite shower room. On the opposite side of the house, the generous guest bedroom features a Juliet balcony and full wall of floor to ceiling fitted wardrobes. In between the guest room and bedroom four is the family bathroom, complete with a fitted double sink and separate bath and shower.

The garden is mainly laid to lawn and offers the perfect place for children to play. It is surrounded by shrubs and trees to ensure privacy. The lateral patio is perfect for al fresco dining and entertaining.

This is a much-loved family home in a very sought after location and must be seen!
