House for Sale

42 Hilley Field Lane, Fetcham, Surrey

Hilley Field Lane can be found in Fetcham, in the heart of Surrey. Its a busy village extremely popular with London commuters, families, professionals, and those looking for a great community spirit with easy access to London, Guildford, Cobham, Epsom and Leatherhead.

Many residents move to the area because of the brilliant schools nearby. State schools include Fetcham Infant School and Oakfield Junior School within walking distance. Theres a great selection of Infant and Junior schools in neighbouring Bookham and Leatherhead. Two highly regarded state secondary schools nearby are Therfield School and Howard of Effingham, and there are various excellent private schools colleges in close proximity.

There is a surprisingly comprehensive array of shops within walking distance, including a small supermarket which is super-convenient. Also in walking distance are a number of churches, the village pub, and access to a huge woodland area with great pathways for walking, running and cycling.

The closest shopping centre is Leatherhead about 2kms away, with Epsom, Guildford, and Kingston and Sutton offering great shopping opportunities in easy reach.

The owners of number 42 have reluctantly offered the house for sale as they have moved abroad. The current tenants have lovingly cared for the home for the past 18 months since the owners left, but they too have bought elsewhere, thereby providing a limited opportunity to buy a fantastic house in an awesome location.

The house itself has seen a significant transformation over the past few years and is now in top class condition, with recent improvements including new double glazing windows throughout, new Marshall block paved driveway and back patio, new boiler and radiators, new kitchen, bathrooms, and flooring throughout. The walls have all been stripped and painted in creamy shades making this a perfect home with a very reasonable price tag.

Number 42 is a semi-detached brick home build in the 50s. There are 4 bedrooms, two bathrooms, offstreet parking for 2 cars, a lounge, dining room, study, kitchen, separate utility room, a large covered patio out the back, and a picture perfect garden.

The entrance to the house is through a covered fully enclosed porch. Its small, but it does provide a space for the coats and muddy boots and shelter while getting through the lovely new solid wood front door. Just inside the front door is a conveniently located full height cupboard to leave your things and hide the clutter.

Three of the bedrooms are upstairs, two double and one single. All windows are finished with solid wooden blinds. The upstairs bathroom has a large shower/bath and built-in vanity unit plus separate additional shelves for storage above the loo, and a great big mirror which opens up the space.

The cozy lounge with bay window and dining area downstairs are carpeted with a handy wall opening from the dining area to the kitchen. Off the dining area is a large bright separate room overlooking the back garden previously used as a double bedroom. Currently its being used as a separate dining room; it would also make a perfect play-room, home gym, music room or second lounge.

Theres a large study off the entrance hall downstairs, which could be used as a fifth bedroom if preferred. Off the study is an en-suite with a corner shower, double vanity, and extra shelf space above the loo.

The kitchen has heaps of storage space, all units have solid wooden doors, theres an under-counter fridge, a vegetable sink and tray, and halogen oven. Off the kitchen is a separate utility room which houses a sink, dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer with ventilation through the wall, a cleaning cupboard plus a full height pantry cupboard, and a full height fridge/freezer.

All downstairs rooms are finished with solid wooden blinds, apart from the lounge which has custom made curtains.

The loft is mostly boarded and even has cupboards, lighting and electricity, providing tons of storage space.

The back garden is a real surprise, beautifully landscaped with much attention given to easy maintenance (mow-strips, weed membrane, use of pots etc.). Theres a hide-away for the bins, plus two great big sheds with loads of storage space, and its fully fenced on all sides. There is a really large covered patio area which is brilliant for entertaining - saves you running inside if the rain pays an unexpected visit, and saves your skin on those hot summer days.

There is a train line running behind the back garden. The line was upgraded a few years ago making it smooth and quiet now. Its not a main line just servicing Effingham junction station so trains are infrequent, and the train can hardly be heard when inside. The train line cant be seen from the garden, and having it there does provide privacy as you have no-one behind the back fence.

One of the great things about this property is the large green out front with gorgeous big trees, giving a great outlook from the lounge, study and two of the upstairs bedrooms. No chance to wave at your neighbours in their sitting room from this house! At Christmas time the neighbours have been known to get together on the green for a bring share of mulled wine mince pies, and theyve even had a brass band join the festivities for a few carols. The road servicing the house is like an extra road almost like a cul-de-sac in that its only really used by the eight or so homes along that strip of road.

The front driveway easily accommodates two cars, and features an easy-to maintain flower bed with some fantastic large palm trees giving it a tropical feel.

This house was extended some years ago. The neighbours on both sides have extended their homes even further, building up where the existing side extension is, and out (partly double height) where the back patio is, making really large homes, so if you think youll need more space in future, planning should just be a formality.

All in all, this is truly a lovely clean light bright home.
