Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul de sac close to the thriving town centre of is Number 15 Sherrardspark Road, a large and extremely attractive family home that was built in the late 1920s. “Many things drew us to this house when we found it twenty- four years ago after a long search.” say the owners. “Its position in a cul de sac was a great attraction because it’s so quiet and remarkably private and just a short walk from everything the town can offer. We have loved the fact that in one direction we benefit from the convenience of the shops and amenities of town, and in the other we have almost immediate access to ancient woodland and open countryside beyond. What more could you possibly want?”

“The house was generally in good condition when we came here but it was in need of a bit of TLC, and so as well as updating the décor we also had the kitchen refitted and added the garden room. It’s a very comfortable house and each room is generously proportioned so there’s a really nice feeling of space throughout. We have a lovely big kitchen that flows straight into the garden room; there’s a separate dining room for more formal occasions and we have two sitting rooms, one with a log fire and the other with a coal fire so we can create a really cosy atmosphere when it’s cold and miserable outside. And it’s also a really good-looking house both inside and out, in fact there’s not another like it in the area, which was also part of the appeal. In short, it has been a lovely, comfortable family home.”

“The garden is a lovely feature of the property. It is so private and peaceful that it’s often hard to believe that we’re just a few minutes from the town centre,” continue the owners. “It is around a third of an acre and we planted shrubs to create a secluded, natural look and feel within the mature trees which were once part of the wood. We love nothing more than to sit out on the patio or in the garden room and just enjoy the view.”

Favourite Room? “Since we added the garden room I’d say that the kitchen, dining and living space is the real hub of our home,” say the owners. “It’s flooded with natural light throughout the day and we can sit in there in every season and enjoy a stunning view of the garden.”

Favourite aspect of the grounds or surrounding area? “In our view the location really couldn’t be better; we have very quick access to so many of the things that make life easier and enjoyable. There are good shops, really good schools, we can walk to the library and cinema or drive to the golf course and we even have a sailing club within striking distance. When we need to travel further afield the transport links are excellent,” say the owners. “I can hop on a train and be in central London in around half an hour so it’s a brilliant base for commuters.” *

A fine Oak front door leads into the spacious hallway and one’s eye is immediately drawn to the semi-circular Oak framed window between the hallway and the sitting room. Stairs rise to the first floor and off the hallway is a cloakroom. The lounge is a lovely room with windows opening onto three aspects and a door onto the garden. There is an original fireplace with a wood burning stove and a door leads into the sitting room. The sitting room is a really cosy but bright room and enjoys a lovely aspect looking over the garden together with a stripped floor and open fireplace. At the end of the hallway a door opens into the most impressive large kitchen/breakfast room and is open plan to the family room. Having been extended and refitted in 2013 this is a wonderful family space with a good range of units and appliances, a large island unit and a breakfast area. The garden/family room with large skylight and windows and doors leading into the garden, is open plan to the kitchen. This really is the hub of the home and benefits from having an adjoining utility/boiler room and a large side garden lobby that is ideal for those with dogs or with young children to kick off their boots. Also found off the kitchen is a lovely dining room with windows to two aspects.

Upstairs there is a large landing with plenty of cupboard space and access to a large loft space. There are four double bedrooms, one with en suite and one with a Juliet balcony and a family bathroom.

This very attractive house is set at the head of a small cul de sac and enjoys good size gardens. At the front there is a driveway with parking for several cars that leads to the garage. Across on the other side of the front garden the owners have cleverly created further hardstanding for four or five cars and have also created secure parking if required behind gates at the side of the house.

The rear garden is a particular feature and is south facing. The garden enjoys many mature shrubs and trees that provide colour and interest across the seasons. Being laid mainly to lawn there is a patio to the rear of the house and a pergola with vines climbing over it. In addition there is a vegetable garden with raised beds.
