5 bed detached house for sale

The Starlings, Oxshott, Leatherhead, Surrey KT22

A beautifully presented, detached family home set in a quiet residential development. Built by Berkeley Homes in the 1990s, the property has been extensively refurbished and extended within the past four years.

The Starlings are located in a three-house private gated development, just off Holtwood Road, which is close to Oxshott village and Oxshott train station.

On the ground floor and set around a spacious entrance hall are the drawing-room, dining room, study, open plan kitchen and vaulted family room. Bi-fold doors from the family room lead out to a large patio to the rear of the property. There is also a downstairs cloakroom and a separate utility room.

Upstairs is the principal bedroom, which has built-in wardrobes and a large en suite. There are two further en suite doubles and two additional bedrooms that are served by a family bathroom. The bedrooms are all arranged around a galleried landing.

To the front is a pretty garden, with a carriageway driveway and detached triple garage block with a large gym/office above which could be easily extended or converted into secondary accommodation (subject to planning permission). The rear garden is south-facing and offers plenty of screening and privacy in all directions. Mostly laid to lawn with shrubs, mature trees and a small pond.
