House For Sale £1,695,000
Originally built in 1996 as offices, Sydenham Lodge was bought in 2017 and converted into this amazing home in 2018. The building was stripped back to the four walls and a roof and it was internally re-designed to create very flexible accommodation with the benefit of views across to Ripley Green.
The property has a 'loft style' apartment feeling on the first floor and this was done to take advantage of the views across Ripley Green. The open plan kitchen/ dining/ living spaces all have their own clearly defined areas and this area is accessed via the stairs or a very handy lift- all part of the future proofing of the property for the current and future owners. The bespoke kitchen has a large, central island and a range cooker. There is a 'wine room' which not only adds a beautiful feature to the room but also means there is a temperature controlled space for the collector of fine wines. The dining area has a Juliet balcony which looks down the garden and across to the green beyond, whilst the siting area has a corner wood burner creating a more cosy space. The principal bedroom suite is also on this floor, which adds to the apartment feel of this property. The bedroom has a walk through dressing room which goes through to the bath and shower room. There is a separate utility/ cloakroom just off the kitchen on the first floor.
On the ground floor there are four principal rooms which could be bedrooms or additional living areas. Currently this is a arranged as two guest bedrooms, both of which have en-suites which means there are three en-suite bedrooms to this property. There is a beautiful fitted study to the front with a cinema room or family room to the rear, with doors leading out to the patio and gardens. All of rooms on the ground floor, including a separate utility room, are arranged centrally around the entrance hall with the stairs and lift to the first floor.
The rear garden, patio and parking can all be accessed from the cinema room or the utility room. The parking area, which is best suited for two cars, is accessed from a lane to the side of the building. There is a ceramic tile patio area, a path leading to a storage shed and an astro-turfed lawn.
The property also has a large loft space which is easily accessed via an electrically operated loft hatch and ladder.

Woking offers a fast mainline train service to London Waterloo, whilst by car the A3 offers links to central London and the M25 to Gatwick and Heathrow. For sports there is The Spectrum in Guildford with Ice rink and there is also an abundance of choice for Golf, Cricket, Rugby & Tennis.
