5 bed detached house for sale

Godalming, Surrey GU7

Peacefully tucked away within the coveted leafy setting of Mark Way, this exceptional family home sits on a large plot (c. 0.27 acres) with wrap around gardens and a large gravel patio. Detached and designed to generate a fantastic feeling of light and space, its refined Farrow & Ball colour scheme and considered finishing details produce a feeling of cohesion throughout.

Sitting back from the road behind a canopy of trees framing a large lawn and private driveway with parking for several vehicles, its covered doorway invites you into a hallway where a mid-century turning staircase is beautifully lit from above. Its grey carpeting and tastefully chosen palette instantly sets the tone for what’s to come flowing seamlessly throughout a succession of well presented rooms.

The triple aspect reception room is a haven for relaxation and entertainment, boasting an elegant working fireplace and sliding doors that open to a broad gravel patio and lawn. This versatile space could be perfect for hosting guests or enjoying quiet moments.

The aesthetics continue in an adjoining double aspect study that’s a peaceful place to work from home and has the flexibility to be tailored to your own needs as a snug or playroom if preferred. An additional reception room which is currently configured as a playroom, could be used as a formal dining room for everyday meals or evenings entertaining friends, and connects with the adjacent kitchen via the eternal charm of a serving hatch.

The kitchen is spacious and functional, featuring Shaker-style cabinetry, an integrated oven, gas hob, and a designated spot for a dishwasher. The countertops provide a warm touch, and the space allows for a dining table, making it a comfortable spot for family meals. Additionally, the kitchen leads to a utility room with laundry appliances and side access to the gardens, enhancing its practicality. There is also potential to extend (STPP) to create a wonderfully contemporary kitchen diner, further enhancing the space and functionality.

A ground floor cloakroom is ideal for busy households and guests, and a handy under-stairs cupboard helps to keep coats, bags and shoes stored away.

With a lovely flow of light tumbling in via the full height windows of the landing above, a turning staircase with classic mid-century balustrades leads the way upstairs where a selection of five double bedrooms unfold around you, each have wide windows which allow the surrounding greenery to provide a leafy backdrop to each and every room. An enviable main bedroom has French doors to a Juliet balcony and the added luxury of an en suite bathroom with a white suite and arranged in a white and mosaic tile setting. Each of the additional rooms provide ample versatility for a growing family. One is currently used as a dressing room and together they share a family bathroom and separate shower room, both complement the en suite with its white suite and warming tones of the floor.

When it comes to enjoying an idyllic setting this detached Mark Way home sits tucked back away from passers-by behind a remarkable front garden with a large lawn bordered by tall leafy trees and flowerbeds stocked with seasonal colour.

The extensive rear garden offers something for everyone. A brilliantly broad gravel patio is ideally sized for summer afternoons spent enjoying barbeques and al fresco drinks with family and friends while a considerable lawn wraps-around the house providing an abundance of enclosed space for children to play.
