Property description

Built circa 1920 and conveniently situated in one of West Byfleet’s most sought-after roads, an outstanding 5 bedroom detached family home with impressive living accommodation which is laid out over 3 floors and extends to just over 4,000 sq ft (including garage). The property outside benefits from an integral double garage, an excellent frontage and a magnificent and secluded plot of about half an acre. Features of special note include the superb cinema room and the easy flowing kitchen/breakfast room that enjoys direct access into the garden across the back of the house; this multi functional part of the property also benefits from access to the dining room and the study. The spacious triple aspect drawing room is most certainly one of the best rooms in this property, featuring a log burner, direct access to the garden and a cosy library area.
