The Drive, Wonersh

An imposing, light-filled, detached family home with double garage and a landscaped garden, in a prestigious residential setting within easy reach of a wealth of amenities.

With architecture reflecting the craftsmanship of the Arts & Crafts movement, Grove Cottage is an impressive home with features including decorative brickwork, revealed timbers with white infills, multipaned and panelled windows and a striking chimney stack. Inside, neutral décor creates an oasis of calm sophistication with light and airy rooms providing more than 3200 sq. ft of refined accommodation arranged over two floors. Warm-toned wood flooring unifies from the entrance hall across reception areas which comprise an elegant drawing room and adjoining relaxed family/sitting room setting, both with stone fireplaces, whilst the formal dining room is adjacent offering the perfect spot to entertain. A stunning kitchen/breakfast room connects to the bright garden room offering a convivial heart to the home where walls of glass blur the boundary between inside and outside. Fitted with sleek cabinetry and stone work surfaces, the kitchen includes an island unit and benefits from an adjoining utility room. A private study completes the lower level rooms. A roomy landing gives access to four bedrooms and a family bathroom, with the principal room offering a luxurious retreat with stylish en suite bathroom featuring a freestanding tub and walk-in shower. A second stairway rises to independent quarters on the upper level offering a further bedroom and adjoining bathroom.

Sphere topped brick columns at the frontage mark the entry-point onto a swathe of gravelled hardstanding which provides parking for several cars and gives access to the detached double garage. With manicured high-level hedging to boundaries, the rear garden provides a secluded outdoor haven, with a large expanse of lawn, attractively planted beds and a group of white-barked silver birch trees at the far margin creating a striking visual feature. Paved terracing spans the rear of the house, punctuated by pretty beds with specimen trees, and there is direct access from the garden and drawing rooms offering a seamless transition. A gravel garden with attractive planting includes a central water feature, while a covered seating area provides a sheltered space to enjoy the garden in all weather conditions. In all the plot extends to just under 0.5 acre.
