Ewhurst Road, Peaslake
£1,695,000

A spacious & superbly presented 5 bed detached character home dating back to the 18th century centrally located in a plot of circa 0.4 acres in a quiet yet central position in the sought after village of Peaslake. The exceptionally versatile accommodation offers the opportunity to create a separate annexe or substantial office wing with its own entrance (Hawthorn Cottage - currently on a separate title) or additional bedroom suites. Planning permission (under reference 21/P/02639) has been granted to substantially reconfigure the accommodation in a sympathetic way to create a more conventional property considerably increasing the first floor to provide 4 double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms & a roof terrace. As the property stands, an entrance hall with cloaks cupboard leads to an open plan area consisting of, sitting room with feature inglenook fireplace with a wealth of exposed brickwork & a log burner alongside a dining room/snug with further log burner. This leads to an extensive, well fitted kitchen/dining/family area with central island with Range cooker, glazed roof panels, sky lights & door to side garden & garage. There is also a large double bedroom with skylights & shower room. From the sitting room double doors lead through to Hawthorn Cottage with an inner hallway with skylights providing access to 3 further rooms (with access to the side garden from the largest) plus a shower room & wc. Upstairs there are 2 double bedrooms with pitched roofs & exposed beams, a 3rd single bedroom & a well fitted bathroom with bath & separate shower cubicle. The property benefits from numerous character features to include exposed beams & solid wood floors. Outside, there is a good size gravel driveway providing off-street parking for numerous cars & leading to a detached garage with studio over (one large room with skylights & separate wc facilities). The property benefits from solar panels linked with a Tesla battery and fast broad band connection provided by BASH. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn, with mature trees & hedging & offer attractive views from the elevated patio area and have a direct access on to The Hurtwood to the rear. Set well back from this quiet road within a short walk of the village shop & pub. A rare opportunity – must be seen !
