Nestled on a peaceful and highly regarded road in the leafy Surrenden district, this exceptional chalet bungalow represents a rare opportunity. The property has been skilfully extended and reimagined with contemporary architectural flair to create a truly versatile and luxurious family home. Generous proportions, an open-plan layout and striking floor-to-ceiling glazing combine to deliver a sense of light and space throughout.

Complementing the interior is a large, landscaped rear garden that offers both seclusion and space for entertaining, while a private driveway and double garage with EV charging provide extensive parking. The immaculate white façade, contrasted against slate-grey roof tiles and elegant windows, sets a refined first impression.

At the front of the house, the lounge is beautifully bright with a dual-aspect outlook, while the showpiece kitchen/dining/family room to the rear boasts a sleek contemporary finish with anthracite cabinetry, integrated appliances, underfloor heating and a striking central island.

From here, direct access leads to the garage, which easily accommodates two cars as well as additional storage.

On the ground floor, a cloakroom, a large utility room with bespoke cabinetry, and a versatile office/playroom (which could also serve as an additional bedroom) further enhance the home’s flexibility. Two double bedrooms are also situated on this level, one enjoying a private en-suite bathroom.

The principal suite is a serene retreat, complete with a contemporary en-suite shower room, separate WC, ample eaves storage and a Juliet balcony with far-reaching views across the garden. The family bathroom is beautifully designed, with a freestanding bathtub providing a touch of luxury.

The rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to create an elegant and secluded outdoor oasis.
