Positioned within a highly regarded private estate in Claygate with a west facing rear garden and a heated swimming pool, this beautifully extended four bedroom detached residence offers a compelling blend of period character, contemporary design and carefully considered family living. Subtle Art Deco influences remain evident throughout, while recent refurbishment has introduced a polished, modern finish that enhances both flow and functionality.
A welcoming entrance hall sets an immediate tone of quality, where rich herringbone wood flooring and refined detailing create a sense of warmth and sophistication. To one side, an elegant reception room provides a calm and comfortable setting, centred around a feature fireplace and framed by a striking rear-aspect bow window with window seating overlooking the garden.
A separate rear aspect study, discreetly positioned and accessed via double doors, offers a thoughtfully designed work-from-home environment, with a direct connection to the garden enhancing both light and outlook.
To the rear, a superb rear-aspect kitchen entertaining area forms the true heart of the home. Flooded with natural light through expansive sliding doors, this beautifully balanced space enjoys seamless access to the terrace beyond. The bespoke Tom Howley kitchen introduces a refined palette of soft grey cabinetry, complemented by elegant stone surfaces and a suite of high-quality integrated appliances, including a range cooker and wine fridge. A generous central island with butler sink provides both practical preparation space and informal seating, while clearly defined zones allow for relaxed family living alongside more formal dining.
A well-appointed utility room with external access, ideal for everyday practicality and pets, leads through to a guest cloakroom.
Spread across the first floor are four well-proportioned, bright and airy bedrooms, each thoughtfully arranged to offer both comfort and privacy.
The principal suite provides a particularly appealing retreat, with doors opening onto a private balcony overlooking the west facing rear garden. A walk-in dressing room and a luxurious marble-finished en-suite bathroom, complete with freestanding bath and twin vanities, enhance the sense of indulgence. Further bedrooms benefit from fitted wardrobes and are served by two additional bathrooms, offering flexibility for family and guests alike.
The west facing rear garden has been carefully designed to combine structure with softness, creating a private and inviting outdoor environment. A broad terrace runs across the rear of the house, ideal for alfresco dining and evening entertaining, while steps lead to a lawn and a gated swimming pool, creating a gently layered landscape suited to both relaxation and recreation.
To the front, a sweeping carriage driveway provides extensive parking and leads to a detached double garage, reinforcing both functionality and the home's strong sense of arrival.
Claygate offers an appealing blend of peaceful village living and excellent connectivity, discreetly positioned on the edge of Esher within the highly regarded borough of Elmbridge. Widely recognised for its strong sense of community and leafy, semi-rural setting, it provides a quieter alternative to its neighbouring towns while remaining exceptionally well connected to London.
At the heart of the village lies a charming parade of independent shops, cafes and everyday amenities, together with a number of well-known local pubs and restaurants that contribute to its welcoming, close-knit atmosphere. Much of the village retains a traditional feel, with characterful period homes and tree-lined streets, creating an environment that is both relaxed and enduringly popular with families and professionals alike.
The area is particularly well regarded for families, with a number of respected state and independent schools both within the Village and in the surrounding area. Claygate Primary School is a key draw, complemented by nearby options including Rowan Preparatory School and Milbourne Lodge, alongside wider highly regarded Elmbridge schooling choices including Claremont Fan Court, Reeds School and ACS Cobham.
Communication links are excellent. Claygate station provides direct rail services to London Waterloo, typically from around 30-32 minutes, while the A3 and M25 are easily accessible, offering convenient routes to central London, Heathrow and Gatwick airports, and the wider motorway network.
