Set in the heart of scenic Staffhurst Wood, Oxted, this beautifully presented four-bedroom detached home offers space, style, and peaceful surroundings, ideal for growing families or those looking to enjoy countryside walks right on the doorstep.
Tucked behind private gates and a sweeping gravel driveway, the home sits proudly in its landscaped plot, framed by mature trees and manicured hedges. The traditional exterior gives way to a thoughtfully designed interior that combines character features with modern living comforts, all spread across three well-planned floors.
Step inside to a warm and welcoming sitting room, complete with feature fireplace and cosy finishes, perfect for quieter evenings. Double doors lead through to the dining space, an open, light-filled area with full-height glazing and views over the lush garden. This transitions smoothly into a second seating nook and on to the kitchen, forming a free-flowing layout that’s ideal for entertaining.
The kitchen itself is both practical and elegant, with a central island, high-end integrated appliances, a wine cooler, and custom cabinetry. A generous utility room offers additional prep space and storage, and there's a dedicated boot room, ideal for muddy wellies after woodland walks.
The first floor hosts three double bedrooms, including the spacious principal suite with its walk-in dressing room, bespoke wardrobe cabinetry, and double doors opening onto a Juliet balcony or rooftop terrace. Two of the bedrooms enjoy modern en-suite facilities, while a smartly fitted family bathroom serves the rest of the floor.
The top floor has been cleverly designed as a private suite, complete with its own en-suite featuring a sleek shower cubicle, a great option for guests, older teens, or a peaceful home office setup.
Outside, a detached double garage offers ample parking and storage, while a separate outhouse currently serves as a gym and office, giving flexible work-from-home or hobby space. The garden wraps around the property, offering a mix of lawn, mature planting, and privacy.
