Situated in an elevated position in the heart of Godalming town, this substantial period home offers an impressive balance of space, character and flexibility, making it particularly well suited to modern family life. Arranged over four floors and extending to approximately 3,154 sq ft, the property occupies a plot of around 0.10 acres and presents a rare opportunity to acquire a house of genuine scale in such a central and convenient location.

The traditional double-fronted façade gives an immediate sense of the generous accommodation within. A covered entrance opens into a welcoming reception hall, where original floorboards, high ceilings and a traditional staircase combine to establish a strong sense of period character and proportion.

The ground floor flows beautifully, providing a series of elegant and adaptable reception spaces. A formal sitting room and a separate family room are both generously proportioned and filled with natural light, creating inviting spaces that work equally well for entertaining or everyday living. Alongside, a well-sized dining room forms a natural focal point for family meals and social occasions, with an easy connection through to the kitchen.

The kitchen is thoughtfully arranged with extensive fitted cabinetry, contrasting work surfaces and space for a full range of appliances. A traditional range cooker set within a chimney recess adds both character and practicality, while windows overlooking the rear garden allow natural light to filter throughout the room.

The lower ground floor further enhances the flexibility of the house, providing a generous games room together with an additional reception space, a utility room, separate storage areas and WC facilities. This level lends itself particularly well to use as a family hub, teenage retreat, home working environment or leisure area, adapting easily to a variety of lifestyle needs.

The first floor continues the sense of space and balance, offering four well-proportioned bedrooms, all enjoying good ceiling heights and pleasant outlooks. These rooms are served by a family bathroom fitted with both a bath and a separate shower enclosure, ensuring practical and comfortable facilities for family living.

Occupying the entire second floor is a superb principal bedroom suite extending to nearly 30 feet in length. Rich in character, this impressive space features sloping ceilings, exposed beams and rooflight windows, creating a calm and atmospheric retreat. An en suite shower room completes the suite.

To the rear, the garden extends to approximately 70 feet and offers a welcome sense of privacy, laid mainly to lawn and framed by established planting and mature boundaries. A raised terrace immediately to the rear of the house provides an ideal setting for outdoor seating and dining, enjoying views across the garden and forming a natural extension of the living accommodation. To the front, a large driveway is partly covered.

The property is well positioned on Croft Road, a popular and convenient residential address within easy reach of Godalming town centre, the mainline station and a highly regarded selection of local schools, while also providing excellent access to the surrounding Surrey countryside.
