ENCHANTING AND BEAUTIFULLY APPOINTED PERIOD COTTAGE IN A PRIME SURREY HILLS LOCATION ...... Gaudium is a charming semi-detached period cottage of great style and character, dating we understand to the 18th Century. The property has been carefully and tastefully enhanced by the current owner in a sympathetic manner and very much in keeping with the style of the cottage. The accommodation briefly comprises a delightful sitting room with wood burning stove and flows through to the well-proportioned and bright dining/family room, which enjoys wonderful views over the gardens. The kitchen/breakfast room is very much in the style of an English country cottage with a range of shaker style units, a central AGA and complemented by a combination of granite and oak work surfaces. There is a useful utility room with doors leading to the rear garden and there is a modern cloakroom/shower room, which completes the ground floor accommodation. To the first floor there are three charming bedrooms and the main bedroom benefits from a traditional style en-suite bathroom. Outside the rear gardens are a prime feature of the property enjoying a southerly aspect and having been intelligently designed with an Indian sandstone paved patio, set around a part raised attractive pond, which makes for a delightful seating area. The remainder of the gardens comprise well tended lawns and a variety of established well stocked beds and borders. At the rear of the garden there is a secluded sitting area backing onto woodland with a stream and beyond to neighbouring farmland. There is a detached studio, which was formerly the garage, and is a superb and useful room, which could be used for a variety of purposes, including potentially a home office. To the front of the property there is a good sized shingled driveway which provides plenty of parking, and well stocked borders and a patio which leads to the front door and side gate. Please note there is an electric charging point in the driveway. In all, the grounds extend to about 1/3rd of an acre.
