6 bed detached house for sale

Woodlands Road, Leatherhead, Surrey KT22

An impressive late 19th century family home of almost 4,000 sq ft, set in outstanding gardens and grounds of approximately 3.3 acres with river frontage and extensive outbuildings .........

West Orchard is a substantial detached family home of great style and character, occupying a convenient yet wonderfully established setting on the northern side of Leatherhead. Believed to date from the latter part of the 19th century, the property is offered to the market for the first time since being purchased by our clients some 56 years ago. Extending to almost 4,000 sq ft, the house displays many fine characteristics associated with its period of architecture, including decorative cornicing, large windows allowing an abundance of natural light, impressive original fireplaces and wonderfully proportioned rooms. Whilst clearly much loved and maintained over many years, the property would now benefit from cosmetic updating, providing an exciting opportunity to enhance what is already a very special home. The sense of space is immediately apparent upon entering the impressive and inviting reception hall, which leads to the three principal reception rooms and cloakroom. Of particular note is the magnificent triple-aspect drawing room with open fireplace and doors opening directly onto the south-westerly terrace and gardens. An inner hall provides access to the domestic side of the house, comprising a kitchen/breakfast room, preparation room, pantry, utility room and family room. There is also access to a cellar. The generous accommodation continues over two further floors. The first floor provides a principal bedroom with dressing room, built-in wardrobes and en-suite bathroom, together with three further bedrooms, family bathroom and separate WC. Two additional bedrooms, a store room and shower room with wash hand basin occupy the second floor.
