Kings Road, Godalming, Surrey, GU7

Hidden away from the world, this quintessential period home sits discreetly tucked back from King’s Road within a pretty row of cottages. Its Bargate Stone facade instantly hints at the charm within, and idyllic gardens to both the front and rear add to the quality of life on offer. Step inside and you’ll find a layout that remains respectful of the original architecture whilst tastefully incorporating contemporary finishing touches. On the ground floor, exposed timber beams stretch out overhead in each of the two outstanding reception rooms. Filled with views of the garden a wonderful sitting room is both cosy and filled with natural light. Sunshine yellow heritage hues enhance the welcoming feel and the generous dimensions make it easy to picture yourself curling up on a large sofa in front of the warmth of a wood burner nestling in the fireplace beneath a floating oak mantel. A glazed timber framed door tempts you out onto a patio and a series of caged wall lights have been discerningly chosen. Equally impressive, the adjoining dining room has plenty of character of its own with the playful pink of its painted skirting boards, doorways and window frame. Notably sized with ample space for a large central dining table, it has the focal point of an open fireplace with a matching mantel and flows into an exemplary kitchen fully fitted with Shaker-style cabinets and integrated appliances. A butler sink, quartz countertops and glazed metro tiles add a classic white contrast to the rich dark blue of the cabinets, and whilst brass handles combine with the wood floor to give a warming balance, a tilted Neff extractor lends a sleek finishing touch. Accessed from the dining room, stairs lead the way down to an excellently converted basement room. Currently used as a great home office this is somewhere that could easily be a playroom or gym if preferred. Venture upstairs and you’ll notice that the modern column radiators and attention to detail are echoed in each of the two bedrooms and a deluxe family bathroom. Looking out over the garden, a beautifully styled double bedroom has a picture perfect fireplace. A deep recess provides handy storage space without encroaching on the feel of the room and the simplicity of its pared-back aesthetic is matched in a large single bedroom that supplies plenty of versatility to cater to your own lifestyle needs. Together these immaculate rooms share an enviable bathroom that deftly complements the rich colour and detailing of the kitchen with its accent walls, Shaker-style cabinets and metro tiles. A wood panelled bath has a glass screen and overhead rose shower and two tone full height cupboards keep towels and laundry hidden from view. Outside When you approach the cottage you’ll find it effortlessly easy to fall in love with the large picturesque front garden with its charming log store and beautifully planted borders framing a long lawn. To the rear, the reception room connects with a paved patio ideally sized for everything from a peaceful morning coffee to al fresco evenings with friends. Wisteria vines clamber elegantly up the Bargate Stone facade above you, while flowering shrubs and Acers frame a deceptively long lawn delineated by a vine covered archway and generating a tremendous sense of space.
