Description Occupying an elevated and peaceful position, Oakside feels special from the moment you arrive.

A much-loved family home, it blends period charm with exciting scope for personalisation, ready for its next chapter.

The property is approached via a block-paved driveway providing off-street parking for two vehicles, alongside a double garage and an additional parking space to the front.

A series of landscaped steps, framed by established planting and seasonal blooms, gently lead you up to the house, creating a wonderful sense of arrival.

Originally dating from the mid 1920s, the house showcases classic features of the era, including attractive brick elevations, pleasing symmetry, and characterful detailing.

Mature planting and climbing greenery soften and enhance the façade.

A central porch remains an appealing architectural feature and entrance to the home, although day-to-day access is typically via the practical side porch.

This opens into a spacious reception hall/boot room, a highly functional space, ideal for family life, with plenty of room for storing coats and bags, and a durable ceramic tiled floor - perfect for muddy boots and paws!

From here, the accommodation flows into two generous reception rooms. Double folding doors connect the spaces, allowing you to open them up for entertaining or close them off for a more intimate feel.

The living room is filled with natural light from the large bay window and glazed door, with a tiled fireplace providing a lovely focal point.

The adjoining room is equally well-proportioned, also featuring a tiled fireplace and a pleasant outlook over the front garden.

Currently used as a home study, it offers excellent flexibility as a dining or second reception room.

The kitchen/breakfast room forms the true heart of the home - perfect for cooking, chatting, and everyday dining.

It's fitted with an extensive range of cabinetry, generous granite work surfaces, and plenty of space for appliances including an American-style fridge/freezer and range cooker.

A large window frames the view of the delightful rear garden, while a central dining area with bench seating creates a relaxed and sociable setting.

A third porch provides side access to both the front and rear garden from the kitchen.

A substantial utility/cloakroom completes the ground floor - an essential for family life - offering additional storage and space for a washing machine and dryer, alongside a traditional ceramic Belfast sink, and toilet.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom provides a calm and spacious retreat, with a large bay window offering a leafy outlook and excellent natural light, along with built-in storage.

The en-suite shower room is well-appointed, featuring a white suite and a distinctive porthole window that adds a touch of architectural character.

Three further well-proportioned double bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes, provide excellent accommodation for family and guests.

These are served by a family bathroom fitted with a classic white suite, including both a bath and a separate shower.

The converted loft with its dual aspect Velux windows framing elevated views towards the Surrey Hills and eaves storage, also provides a useful and versatile space.

Outside, the beautifully established rear garden is a standout feature of this property.

Predominantly laid to lawn, with mature, blossoming apple and cherry trees and an abundance of colourful shrubs and flowers, its tiered design, accessed via stone steps, creates a variety of areas to enjoy.

The garden truly is a peaceful setting that's perfect for family life, entertaining, or simply unwinding with a glass of wine.

Living on St Mary's Road offers a rare balance of privacy, convenience, and a welcoming, neighbourly feel - ideal for families.
