Detached house for sale in Greencroft, Horseshoe Lane West, Guildford, Surrey GU1.

Appleton is a well-proportioned family home in an excellent location and offers the incoming purchaser to put their own stamp on the home to create a superb space for family living.

The house opens into the entrance hall, from which the principal reception rooms lead, all of which are set to the back of the house to enjoy the southerly aspect allowing the house to be filled with natural light. The generously sized kitchen and breakfast room features integrated appliances including a large range cooker, and there is space for casual dining. Double doors lead from the kitchen to the dining room which has a beautiful herringbone wood floor and full-height sliding doors which open to the garden. A further set of double doors connect to the sitting room which is an excellent double-sized room with a feature fireplace and views over the garden can be enjoyed from the full-height sliding doors.

A useful utility space is across the hallway from the kitchen, and this connects to a further reception room, currently used as a family room, but would also make a superb 5th bedroom guest suite as there is a shower room that sits adjacent to the room.

Upstairs, the bedroom accommodation is found with the principal bedroom featuring a dressing room and en suite bathroom. The three further bedrooms are of good size, and there is a family bathroom which services these rooms.

The house is set back from the road with a mature front garden and driveway with parking for several cars, and an integral double garage. The rear garden enjoys a sunny southerly aspect and is a real sun trap. Set over three tiers, a terrace spans the width of the back of the house, which is the perfect space for dining and entertaining outside in the summer. The lawn beyond is over two further tiers with pretty flowerbeds and mature borders and trees allowing for privacy in the garden. There is an attractive green opposite the house which is shared by the ten residents.
