Woking
£850,000

Cranleigh is a handsome, detached, Victorian residence that has in recent years been much improved and sensitively updated with modern white bathrooms and yet many character assets have been retained such as fireplaces and stained and polished interior floors. The accommodation is set over two floors, and offers four  bedrooms as well as a fifth bedroom/games room and modern bathroom on the first floor.  On the ground floor, a large drawing room, family room (which could alternatively make a separate dining room), breakfast room and spacious kitchen. Perhaps one of the property’s most surprising features for any home so close to the town, is the size of its gardens. Overall the plot extends to 0.34 acres with around 130’ of that to the rear of the property, and includes a lightly wooded play area, as well as a large, well maintained lawn and recently built paved patio areas.

Drawing Room  

This is a lovely room full of character with the main focal point being the elegantly ornamented fireplace surround and overmantel with an inset elliptical mirror and cast iron grate with ceramic tiled decorative insets. Richly coloured floorboards, deep skirtings, decorative cornicing, picture and dado railing are features that are typical of the period, as is the splayed bay window.  This was once two rooms where the wall has been removed and thus has created a large open space that is perfect for entertaining. This said, there are other rooms that could alternatively be used for dining purposes, if there is a preference for this space to be used entirely as a family living room. Within this room the former fireplace has been removed and converted to gothic-arched recess with glass shelving. Double casement doors open to the garden. Both parts of the room have radiators.

 

Family Room 

Feature open fireplace with a honey-toned oak surround and overmantel and a period-style gas coal-effect real-flame dog grate. Also the decorative cornice, picture and dado railing are repeated here, and the flooring is stained and polished. Radiator.
