Semi-detached house for sale in Godalming, Surrey GU7

With a picture perfect period facade and a three storey layout opening onto simply idyllic classic cottage gardens, this semi-detached Victorian house is a stunning family home. Full of natural light and impeccably styled with window shutters, soft heritage hues and wood floors, its clever design generates an enviable lifestyle and a cherished sense of space.

Step inside and you’ll find a duo of reception rooms unfolding to either side of a central hallway. With bench seating fitted within wide sash bay windows and sympathetically chosen cabinetry in the chimney breast alcoves, a beautifully lit room at the front is both charming and stylish. A wood burner within the fireplace lends a cosy and homely feel, while the floral patterns of an accent wall lend a subtle pop of colour. The warm tones of the wood floor continue across the hallway in a second reception room that creates a huge amount of versatility for modern family living. A superb period fireplace and picture rails lend ample charm, and the more than generous dimensions supply a host of possibilities as a separate TV room, playroom, music room or study.

Engendering a hugely fluid feel, double doors open into an inner hallway enticing you into an outstanding kitchen/dining room that effortlessly achieves the fine balance of being contemporary and respectful of this home’s history. Its considered design stretches out beneath the skylights of a high vaulted ceiling to a wall of sleek black framed bi-fold doors that pull back to allow the gardens to become an integral part of the home. Fully fitted with pale sage grey Shaker-style cabinets topped with quartz, the wide galley arrangement has dedicated space for a freestanding range cooker and American style fridge freezer. Etched drainer grooves flow into a butler sink and the excellent proportions easily accommodate a large dining area that’s perfect for everyday life and evenings entertaining friends.

The cohesive aesthetics continue upstairs where a wonderful main bedroom sits to the front of the property and has a calm and restful air, the chimney breast provides space for wardrobes and crisp white shutters add a finishing touch. Across the hallway bedroom 2 has lovely garden views. Bedroom 3 extends exclusively across the top floor and is beautifully lit by dormer windows. Together these three exemplary rooms share a notably large first floor family bathroom and a deluxe contemporary ground floor shower room arranged in a refined stone mosaic and tile setting.

Outside
From the walled front garden to the feature detailing and bay windows of the classic red brick facade, this Town End Street home instantly evokes a huge amount of charm and character.

To the rear the bi-fold doors of the kitchen/dining room forge a wonderful connection with a classic cottage garden giving you every excuse to step outside, relax and unwind.

Framed by high fencing, these extensive gardens supply a surprising amount of space for everyone to enjoy. A brick paved patio is ideal for al fresco drinks and meals, and whilst roses clamber across the fencing, painted trellising with a picket gate give a glimpse of the colour and greenery that leads the way down to a raised timber summerhouse with French doors and its own decked terrace. Take a stroll past established lawns and borders filled with alliums, hydrangea, lavender and classic cottage garden favourites and on your way to this haven you’ll find a fantastic timber pergola with ample seating space for sundowners.
