Margery Grove, Lower Kingswood, Surrey

Rose Cottage is an attractive period property dating back more than a hundred years or so. The property has been updated by the present owners with the recent addition of an outside swimming pool and solar panels. The accommodation is laid out across three floors with the design and layout offering the flexibility to re-instate an annexe by way of a secondary staircase leading from ground to first floor accommodation. Approached through a secure and gated driveway the property offers a spacious driveway for numerous vehicles as well as a double garage and approximately 5000 sq ft of living space enveloped by almost 1.5 acres of formal gardens and grounds.

Description - Entry into the house is through a spacious reception hall with wood flooring and access to a cloakroom and coat cupboard. A generous double aspect sitting room, currently arranged as a games room/gym, is situated to the rear with views of the garden. Also to the rear is a fabulous, open plan dining room / sitting room with a feature fireplace, tiled and wood flooring, views across the garden and access into a contemporary kitchen/breakfast room with underfloor heating, a central island, built in appliances and stone worktops. Completing the downstairs accommodation is a home office, a utility room and a lobby area with access to a large cellar, a secondary staircase and a door outside – this is where an annexe could be re-instated.
On the first floor there are six bedrooms and four bathroom/shower rooms. The generous principal bedroom takes centre stage with views of the garden, a dressing room and an ensuite bathroom. Three bedrooms have views to the rear and the gardens, one bedroom has access to its own balcony and two bedrooms (previously used as an annexe) have their own private area with a shower room and ancillary staircase to the ground floor. Stairs from the landing lead to the second floor where a superb games room/media room has been created – generous eaves cupboards also provide large areas of storage space.
Externally the gardens & grounds extend to almost 1.5 acres with mature and well screened planting, a formal lawn, an equestrian yard with a stable and tack room, a paddock area, a double garage and a swimming pool with lighting and an entertaining terrace.
