Set on one of Great Bookham’s most prestigious roads, this substantial detached family home occupies a very large, private 0.33 acre plot with mature borders and a sweeping gravel driveway leading to an attached single garage. The house offers flexible accommodation across two storeys with a ground-floor bedroom and bathroom, principal bedroom with en‑suite, three further first-floor bedrooms and a family bathroom — ideal for families needing separate living and working spaces.
The ground floor features a generous sitting room with fireplace and French doors to the secluded rear garden, a large family room with a log burner, dining area, study and a kitchen with a separate utility. Rooflights and a loft conversion/usable attic provide additional space and suggest scope for reconfiguration. Outside, the mature, well‑screened gardens and private aspect make the property excellent for outdoor entertaining and family life.
Practical considerations: the house was constructed c.1900–1929 with cavity walls that currently lack insulation (assumed) and will benefit from modernisation to improve energy efficiency. Broadband speeds are slow and council tax is quite expensive; buyers should allow for upgrading heating controls, insulation and connectivity. There is also potential for extension or re‑plan subject to planning permission (STPP).
This home is best suited to families seeking space, privacy and proximity to transport links — it’s a short walk to Bookham station and close to well‑rated local schools. For buyers seeking a turnkey, low‑maintenance property this will require investment; for those looking to enhance a character property on a large plot, it offers significant long‑term potential.
