Mark Way, Godalming, Surrey, GU7

VIEW PROPERTY FILM NOW!! Encompassed by the high evergreen hedgerows of wrap-around grounds, High Timbers sits tucked away in a coveted spot within Mark Way that exudes an undeniable measure of privacy and tranquillity. Detached and accomplished, its double fronted façade pairs the rustic feel of cedar cladding with an abundance of anthracite framed glazing, while inside a notable layout balances colour and light with the gardens outside to engender an immense sense of space and fluidity.

Bathed in sunlight a superb central entrance hall gives an instant glimpse of the contemporary yet elegant aesthetic. The deep blue of a wonderfully high turning staircase gives a rich pop of colour while the warming tones of a solid mahogany herringbone floor flow into a magnificent triple aspect sitting room where a working fireplace takes centre stage. Seductive yet homely with its heritage grey hues, this stunning space is filled with garden vistas and finished with an expanse of sliding doors that prompt an enviable interplay with landscape patios to either end.

With the cool calming contrast of white walls and sleek clean lines, the outstanding design of the impeccable kitchen/dining room is beautifully light and airy. Sociable and spacious, it is equally perfect for everyday life or entertaining on a grand scale and has both sliding and French doors that open to allow the terracing to become an extension of this exceptional open plan room. Underfloor heating flows throughout the kitchen, dining area, second sitting room and utility room; this enhances everyday comfort and seamlessly compliments the contemporary design.

Illuminated fitted cabinetry blends seamlessly with a feature wall in a dining area echoing the dashes of accent colours that pepper the layout, and inset encaustic patterned tiles define space for the table. Beneath an array of skylights set high into a vaulted ceiling, the handleless cabinets house a superior selection of integrated appliances with space for a fridge freezer. A central island with bar stool seating and encaustic patterned tiles of its own gives delineation and unity to the space and a brilliantly sized relaxed seating area is an ideal spot to sit and catch up with one another.

Subtly enhancing the flow of light and space, glazed inner double doors connect to a double aspect second sitting room encased in large picture windows and full height glazing. Further encaustic patterns run underfoot and generous dimensions create a peaceful hideaway that is hugely adaptable to your own needs.

A fitted utility room with space for a washing machine and tumble dryer has handy access to the gardens and integral garaging, and the inclusion of a study adds somewhere to work from home when the need arises. A ground floor cloakroom is on hand for guests.

Deftly lending a voluminous feel, the excellent turning staircase rises gently up to the first-floor landing where an expansive wall of glazing lets it sit in harmony with a brilliantly broad and secluded balcony that fills your gaze with the greenery outside. Five exemplary bedrooms unfold around you and whilst each has its own personality and style they all continue the cohesive feel of the overarching design scheme.

Generating its own wing of the house, the extensive principal bedroom is utterly exemplary with its large walk-through fitted dressing room and luxury en suite. Two equally impressive double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes are ideal for teenagers and include one with an en suite shower room, while two more large double bedrooms have plenty of flexibility to become a gym, play room or study if preferred. Together these outstanding rooms share an immaculate family bathroom with an inset bath and glass framed walk-in shower. A final inclusion of tasteful encaustic patterns demonstrates the attention to each and every detail that flows throughout this prestigious house with ease.

Outside
Framed by the evergreen foliage of clipped high hedging, the gated grounds of High Timbers create a blissfully enclosed sanctuary from the world outside. Wrap-around gardens lend an exquisite backdrop to each and every room of the house, and the statuesque trees and layout of the private road give a coveted measure of natural beauty and exclusivity.

To the front, Iroko timber double gates sweep open onto a landscaped driveway whose paving extends into terracing and seating areas that reach around an established lawn and connect with the main sitting room. Fully stocked beds and evergreen shrubs border space for al fresco dining, and the driveway and integral garaging provide secure off-road parking for several vehicles.

The greenery and landscaping wraps-around to the rear where the quintessential colour continues. The terracing supplies extra excuse to sit back and admire your surroundings and steps tempt you down to the lawn where a decked patio captures the sun and produces a heavenly space for al fresco entertaining. An additional seating space sits nestled in a large corner encompassed by the mature planting and the wrap-around nature of the lawns means that there’s space to add a children’s play area or vegetable garden without intruding on the tranquillity of the space.
