The Street, Effingham

A superbly appointed two bedroom semi detached Victorian cottage offering beautifully maintained gardens situated in the heart of Effingham village.  


This charming character home has in the last few years undergone an extensive programme of modernisation and redecoration enabling the property to now benefit from a light, bright and contemporary feel as well as still retaining a wealth of character and original features. The principal accommodation consists of a living room with an open fireplace, modern kitchen incorporating an excellent range of matching eye and base level units together with ample wood top work surfaces.  A ground floor bathroom is also of a modern design.  Then to the first floor there are two bedrooms both with built in wardrobes.  The property further benefits from extremely well maintained gardens to both front and rear with the former incorporating a large paved sun terrace ideal for al fresco dining leading onto an excellent expanse of lawn screened by mature trees and well stocked flower and shrub beds.  In total the front garden extends to 42ft x 23.5ft (12.8m x 7.1m) and benefits from a sunny south westerly aspect.  
 

The property is located in the heart of Effingham village within walking distance of shops catering for daily needs to include a butcher, bakers and a hardware store. The larger village of Bookham is about 2 ½ miles away and provides a comprehensive range of amenities to include two supermarkets, a doctors and dentist surgery, a post office, a library and a number of other independent retailers.  The area is served by an excellent selection of local schools catering for all age groups both in the state and private sector including the well respected Howard of Effingham Secondary School.  Bookham and Effingham Junction main line train stations provide a good service into London Waterloo and Victoria.  Also close by is some superb countryside to include Polesden Lacey, Norbury Park and Box Hill.  The M25 can be reached at junction 9 Leatherhead giving good motorway access to both Heathrow and Gatwick airports.
