2 Garden Court, 20a Salisbury Road, Godstone, RH9 8AB

This bright single-storey house is one of a pair of well-composed homes near Godstone’s beautiful village centre.

Its eco credentials are stellar, and its finishes - external and internal - are of a high quality.

It has two distinct outdoor areas with plenty of room for growing and hosting in the spring and summer.

Environmental Performance Designed with environmental performance in mind, this home has been awarded a rare ‘A’ grade EPC rating.

Considerations include Rooftop PVs, high-level insulation, triple-glazed windows and an EV charging point, with heat pump heating and hot water. The house also has a 10-year new-build warranty.

The Tour The house occupies a quiet, private position off Salisbury Road.

Its contemporary and consciously minimalist profile is formed by dark-stained larch cladding, with concrete tiles used to form a front terrace. From here, a front door opens to a central corridor.

On one side, a generous open-plan living space and kitchen unfolds, with the smart L-shaped dove-grey kitchen at the furthest end.

Appliances include an induction hob, integrated fridge/ freezer, dishwasher and oven, and there is plenty of room in front for a dining table.

The open adjacent space is arranged as a sitting room and has doors to the rear garden. Engineered wooden floors run throughout the entire space, and a grooved panelling lines the walls.

The house has two serene double bedrooms, both with carpeted floors and further v grooved panelling.. Built-in wardrobes provide plenty of storage space.

A bathroom and a separate shower room are beautifully finished with sage-green panelling and built-in storage. There is also a separate utility room with space for white goods.

There is also a Ring security system.

Outdoor Space The house has two distinct outdoor spaces: In the front, a terrace beyond the gravel-laid shared driveway, and in the back, a garden divided between lawn and terrace.

South-facing, the latter is a brilliant spot to enjoy dry days in the spring and summer and/or to grow potted plants.

The Area Godstone is a historic village 18 miles south of London, near the North Downs; both the North Downs Way and the Greensand Way pass through it.
