The Street, Puttenham, Guildford, Surrey, GU3

Attractive Grade II listed period house with delightful gardens.

Description

Originally two cottages, understood to date back to the 17th century, 156 The Street is a unique character home positioned in the heart of the village of Puttenham. The house has been painstakingly yet sympathetically updated by the current owners whilst retaining the original character and charm including a number of feature fireplaces, original beams and flooring.

The property boasts three reception rooms comprising family room, sitting room and a study. All three rooms have beautiful original fireplaces, light and bright, the perfect rooms to relax, entertain or work.

The recently fitted open plan kitchen boasts a stable door, bespoke fitted cabinetry, a Rangemaster stove and other built-in appliances. Offering ample space to cook and dine, with direct access to delightful rear gardens, the kitchen is completed by a beautiful Inglenook fireplace and traditional flagstone flooring. A useful utility room, spacious, with access outside via a second stable door, completes the downstairs accommodation.

The first floor is accessed by either one of two staircases. The first staircase, between kitchen and family room, carries you up to the principal, dual aspect, double bedroom. Immediately adjacent is a second bedroom which could also be used as a dressing room or walk-in-wardrobe. Both bedrooms are complimented by a shower room. The second staircase at the far end of the house, off the utility room, gives access to a further three spacious bedrooms and a family bath/shower room, all wonderfully presented.

Outside, the spectacular rear garden is a memorable feature of the property. An attractive terrace runs the full length of the house overlooking a large level lawn including a separate kitchen garden. Whilst private, the garden enjoys superb views across the neighbouring hop fields and countryside beyond. To the front is a pleasant cottage style garden including climbing roses and well stocked flower beds creating a true sense of arrival. A number of walks can be enjoyed directly from the house.

The property benefits from a generous gravelled in-out driveway to the rear, offering ample parking for cars. In addition there are two single, timber framed, detached garages and a further outbuilding currently utilised as a workshop.
