6 bed detached house for sale

Lawbrook Lane, Peaslake GU5

Running Hook is a comfortable family home, set centrally within a generous plot of just under one acre. The property offers versatile and light-filled living space, along with complete privacy and tranquillity.

You enter the property via a spacious entrance hall, from which you can access both the sitting room and the kitchen. A single door also leads directly out onto the rear garden. The kitchen is modern and well equipped, featuring a large central island and an open-plan layout with the dining room. A standout feature is the double-sided wood-burning stove, positioned between the kitchen and dining areas, adding warmth and charm. From the dining area, further double doors open onto one of the garden terraces.

To the other side of the property is a large sitting room with a central fireplace, a shower room, and a utility room.

Upstairs, there are four generously sized bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from beautiful countryside views, an en suite bathroom, and access to a large roof terrace. A well-appointed family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.

A particularly clever feature of Running Hook is its two annexes, ideal for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or home office use. The first is an integral annexe with its own private entrance or accessed through
the sitting room. Located on the first floor, it comprises a bedroom, living room, bathroom and kitchen.

The second is a separate, self-contained annexe with its own entrance, offering a combined bedroom/sitting room, a large bathroom, and a kitchen. This space could easily be incorporated into the main house if desired.

The gardens at Running Hook are a very special feature of the property. The house is approached through attractive electric gates, with a gravel driveway leading to the front of the house, providing ample parking and access to a double garage.

The property sits centrally within its plot of just under one acre, surrounded by a variety of specimen trees, mature shrubs, and colourful flower beds, creating a peaceful and private setting. The gardens are flat and well maintained, bordered by neatly manicured hedges on all sides.
