Description

Set in a large plot just over 0.7 acres, the Thatched House is a charming property built circa 1928. The property has been carefully updated, extended and restored by the current owners. It has a light and airy feel and features oak beams, leaded light windows. The property sits in an elevated plot and offers rarely available views over Norbury Park and beyond into the Surrey Hills.

The double aspect living room is well proportioned with feature fireplace and double doors on to the garden. The reception room/family room, with fireplace, leads through to an elegant dining room with view of the garden. The breakfast room steps down to the kitchen/sun lounge, a glorious space, filled with natural light, which leads to the garden. The remainder of downstairs comprises a study, utility room and store rooms leading through to the integral double garage and stairs up to the Annexe/bedroom and en suite bathroom. The principal bedroom features an open fireplace, dressing room and en suite bathroom. There are two further bedrooms (one with access to eaves storage) and a family bathroom

The Thatched House is approached by a tarmac driveway to a turning area and double garage, with an electric up and over door. The turning area is separated from the house by a gated flintstone and brick wall forming a charming courtyard in front of the main entrance. The gardens have sweeping lawns and many specimen trees, shrubs and flower borders. A York stone terrace runs along the whole of the south side of the house. A path leads to the rear of the property where there is a paved barbeque terrace fronting a pretty and secluded garden. The house and gardens enjoy stunning views over to Ranmore Common and church to the south and Norbury Park to the south-west.
