Set within the peace and exclusivity of a gated private road in the Oatlands area of Weybridge, this exceptional detached home opens onto magnificent, secluded gardens and offers a host of possibilities (STNC). Blending period charm with discerning contemporary design, its beautifully fluid layout unfolds from a central hallway onto two reception rooms, a conservatory and a supremely well appointed kitchen/family room. Four double bedrooms include a marvellous principal suite opening onto a private balcony which overlooks the garden. An integral double garage and driveway parking are additional highlights.

Encompassed by the tranquility of its prestigious location and the colour and greenery of picture perfect gardens, Willand Cottage conjures a superior quality of life. Hugely versatile to your own needs and lifestyle, its superbly arranged layout combines the charm of parquet floors and double glazed windows with the luxury of its exemplary kitchen and bathrooms. This exceptional home also offers the potential to be replaced with the grandeur of a brand new home (STNC) as planning permission has in the past been granted but has now lapsed.

Tucked back from the gated private road behind a quintessential cottage garden, the rustic red brick of the double fronted facade provides a wonderful introduction. A canopied entrance has space for you to sit and admire the south-west facing garden and welcomes you into a central hallway where stained glass windows and a herringbone floor lend a warming balance to cool white walls. A wealth of space to relax, dine and unwind unfolds around you, while natural light tumbles down from above.

Stretching out across the full depth of the cottage a triple aspect sitting room has an elegant focal point fireplace that instantly adds a homely and inviting feel. Leaded double doors framed by full height windows effortlessly extend the more than generous proportions further still, opening into a first class conservatory with enviable garden vistas.

The rich timber tones of the entrance hall’s floor extends into a separate dining room with wide bay windows that could easily be a peaceful study or home office if needed. However, it is undoubtedly the outstanding design and specification of the spacious family room/kitchen that creates the heart and hub of this Broom Way home. With French doors that make it irresistibly easy to step out onto the terracing, its open plan layout is ideal for spending time together. The notable family room area has a fitted media unit for your TV, books and ephemera and a central dining area is equally suited for daily life and evenings spent entertaining friends. Supremely well appointed, the exemplary kitchen is fully fitted with cabinets topped with sleek white quartz and finished with sympathetically chosen cup handles. Integrated appliances including a Bosch double oven, an induction hob, a matching quartz topped island with a bar stool overhang, and a butler sink adds to the overall charm. Keeping laundry appliances hidden from view a separate utility room opens onto a brilliantly sized fitted storeroom and supplies easy access to the integral garaging. Conveniently placed adjacent to the hallway, a stylish modern cloakroom completes the ground floor.

The combination of traditional and contemporary continues upstairs where four double bedrooms all have picturesque outlooks. Whilst three benefit from ample built in wardrobe storage, the considerable dimensions of the principal bedroom give a calm and restful feel. Its en suite has a large walk-in waterfall shower and further French doors allow the gardens to add an idyllic backdrop whilst tempting you out onto a secluded private balcony. Sophisticated and luxurious, the family bathroom lends an impeccable finishing touch. Arranged in a refined grey stone and mosaic tile setting, its sleek contemporary suite includes a floating basin, inset bath and a deluxe wetroom shower with a glass screen.




Outside

Beautifully bordered by statuesque conifers, palms and majestic feature trees, the lovingly planted gardens to the rear stretch out before you giving every reason to sit and admire your surroundings. Offering a prized degree of seclusion they produce an idyllic place to escape from the hubbub of the day. The French doors of the family room/kitchen and conservatory connect with extensive L-shaped terracing that gives a choice of spots to dine and unwind in either the summer sun or shade with friends and family or to simply recline in this tranquil setting and enjoy an afternoon siesta. Fully stocked flowerbeds pepper the established lawn subtly adding delineation, and budding gardeners will love the added bonus of a potting shed and greenhouse that sit tucked away to the side.

At the front of the property the evergreen foliage and pretty flowers of heavenly high Rhododendron hedging supplies privacy from passers by and combine with an abundance of mature specimen shrubs to give a fantastic introduction to this period cottage. They frame the large south-west facing lawned frontage that gives you further excuse to step outside with a good book or morning coffee. A tastefully landscaped path leads the way to the canopied entrance, while to the side a private driveway and integral double garaging provide ample off-road parking.
