Woodside Avenue, Hersham, Surrey, KT12

Enviably placed on a tree-lined avenue that offers a peaceful retreat whilst having the convenience of being under half a mile from a mainline station, this detached home beautifully balances period charm and contemporary design. Soft warm heritage hues combine with light filled rooms to give a wonderful sense of tastefully understated luxury, while a superbly created self-contained ground floor annexe provides a host of options for multi-generational living or even to be rented out for an additional income stream.

Behind the blackened beams and herringbone bone brickwork of a double fronted facade, a central hallway instantly hints at the fluidity of the accommodation. Its decorative wall panelling is echoed in an outstanding double aspect sitting room where it lends a crisp white contrast to the rich blue of a sophisticated colour scheme. Elegant ceiling detailing stretches out overhead, a stately fireplace adds a tremendous focal point, and wide bay and side windows are dressed with first class shutters.

Equally enticing, a separate double aspect family room conjures a prized hideaway with garden vistas and French doors that together with those of the dining room allow the tranquillity of a secluded patio become an integral part of your home. Across the hallway a generous study is ideal when working from home. Fitted with recessed contemporary storage it gives ample flexibility to be a guest bedroom when needed.

The heritage palette continues in the excellent interconnecting layout of the stylish kitchen and adjoining dining room that when combined create somewhere incredibly special for daily life, entertaining friends or celebrating key dates in your diary. With a design scheme that’s both sleek and has a mid-century modern feel, the kitchen is fully fitted with a wealth of integrated appliances that offer every convenience. The clever inclusion of a brilliantly large gloss white splashbacks reflects a lovely flow of light around the room, and twin sets of multi-paned bi-fold doors pull back to reveal an exceptional dining room with a high vaulted ceiling. Framed by traditional full height shutters, its duo of French doors make it temptingly easy to step out and enjoy al fresco meals or drinks on the patio, while tucked discreetly away to its rear a fitted utility room keeps laundry appliances hidden from view. A cloakroom completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, the cohesive aesthetics are echoed through four exemplary bedrooms unfolding from a central hallway. A first class principal bedroom is a haven at any time of the day or night with its walk-in dressing room, bay windows and en suite shower room. A second double bedroom and two further generous bedrooms produce an ideal measure of family accommodation, and together they share a fabulous bathroom where an inset bath, floating basin and shower cubicle are arranged in a white mosaic and tile setting.

Accessed via its own private entrance at the side of the house a stunning self-contained annexe adds to the immense sense of space and versatility that this Hersham house creates. Perfect for multi-generational living, or short and long term guests, it has an impeccable open plan living area with a fully fitted contemporary Shaker kitchen and a spacious living/dining room with further French doors to the garden. Its double bedroom comes complete with a deluxe en suite shower room and ample storage.

The French doors of the family and dining rooms engender an easy flowing extension of this commendable family residence seamlessly connecting with a secluded patio bordered by the rich colours and foliage of mature Acers that enhance the calm and restful feel. Explore further and let a choice of charming stepping stone paths lead you across established lawns bordered and peppered by feature trees and a beautiful array of well-tended shrubs.

In one direction an extensive triple aspect timber games room offers something for everyone with its large seating area, central pool table, illuminated bar and desk/study zone. However when you follow the other path you’ll find what undoubtedly adds a breathtaking finishing touch to these idyllic grounds. With its picture perfect black timber exterior, a magnificent BBQ cabin is a sublime oasis from the world outside. Supremely appointed with a central Polar chimney and grill/fire pit, its wrap-around bench and stool seating give you all the excuse you need to sit back, relax, unwind and spend quality time with family and friends.

At the front of the property a broad gravel driveway supplies private off-road parking for several vehicles.
