Cairds Estate Agents are thrilled to introduce, with no onward chain, this characterful & extended 1920's five bedroom family residence, enviably positioned within the private grounds of Ashtead Park, opposite City of London Freemen’s School, in South Ashtead, Surrey. This property has been home to the same family since 1972 and sits upon approximately a 0.42 acre plot with fabulous sweeping rear lawn and masses of scope to further extend and enhance (subject to obtaining the usual planning consents).

To the front there is generous carriage driveway with neat lawn, shaped hedgerow, integrated garage, side access and unique views.

On the ground floor there is a porch to the entrance that leads to a lobby with original features and a guest WC. To the left there is a reception room with side bay window and brick surround feature fireplace and this leads via double doors to a grand sitting/dining room with arched ceiling to centrepiece fireplace and large glass sliding door view of the garden. To the front right aspect there is large office/dining room and to the rear aspect is a kitchen with integrated appliances and large separate utility room with further WC and direct access to the garden patio.

Externally to the rear is a wonderfully large yet secluded and picturesque garden, that would not look out of place on a golf course fairway! Here there is a beautifully maintained lawn, a paved patio ideal for alfresco entertaining, large Summerhouse with electric feed and a variety of mature trees and shrubs.
