2 bed bungalow for sale

Garden Court II, Godstone, Surrey RH9

This bright single-storey house is one of a pair of well-composed homes near Godstone’s beautiful village centre. Its eco credentials are stellar, and its finishes - external and internal - are of a high quality. It has two distinct outdoor areas with plenty of room for growing and hosting in the spring and summer.

Environmental Performance

Designed with environmental performance in mind, this home has been awarded a rare ‘A’ grade EPC rating. Considerations include Rooftop PVs, high-level insulation, triple-glazed windows and an EV charging point, with heat pump heating and hot water. The house also has a 10-year new-build warranty.

The Tour

The house occupies a quiet, private position off Salisbury Road. Its contemporary and consciously minimalist profile is formed by dark-stained larch cladding, with concrete tiles used to form a front terrace.

From here, a front door opens to a central corridor. On one side, a generous open-plan living space and kitchen unfolds, with the smart L-shaped dove-grey kitchen at the furthest end. Appliances include an induction hob, integrated fridge/ freezer, dishwasher and oven, and there is plenty of room in front for a dining table.

The open adjacent space is arranged as a sitting room and has doors to the rear garden. Engineered wooden floors run throughout the entire space, and a grooved panelling lines the walls.

The house has two serene double bedrooms, both with carpeted floors and further v grooved panelling.. Built-in wardrobes provide plenty of storage space. A bathroom and a separate shower room are beautifully finished with sage-green panelling and built-in storage. There is also a separate utility room with space for white goods. There is also a Ring security system.

Outdoor Space

The house has two distinct outdoor spaces: In the front, a terrace beyond the gravel-laid shared driveway, and in the back, a garden divided between lawn and terrace. South-facing, the latter is a brilliant spot to enjoy dry days in the spring and summer and/or to grow potted plants.

The Area

Godstone is a historic village 18 miles south of London, near the North Downs; both the North Downs Way and the Greensand Way pass through it. It has picturesque ponds, traditional pubs serving food and drinks, and Godstone Farm, a family-friendly spot with seasonal activities. Divers Cove is nearby for wild swimming, with Chartwell and Hever Castle around 20 mins away.

Oxted is around five minutes’ drive away. It has a high street full of restaurants and cafés, including Bru and Bear and Toast. Reigate is around 15 minutes’ drive away, with Bletchingly, a historic town with medieval buildings, even closer. Tunbridge Wells is under 35 minutes’ drive away, and Sevenoaks can be reached in around 25.

The home’s position on the borders of Kent and Surrey brings plenty of excellent schools within easy reach, in both state and private sectors. Its proximity to London also makes for easy commuting: From Oxted station, train services reach the capital in as little as 35 minutes.
