Mallards, Botany Hill, Farnham, GU10 1LX

Mallards is a well-presented detached chalet bungalow offering four bedrooms and flexible, comfortable living space arranged over two light-filled floors.

The property includes three elegantly appointed reception rooms, while the attached double garage offers scope for conversion into additional accommodation if desired.

The two main reception rooms are the sitting room and the family room.

Located at the front, the sitting room has a south and west-facing dual aspect, welcoming plenty of natural light, the windows fitted with plantation shutters.

There is wooden flooring, a fireplace with a woodburning stove and space for both a seating area and a family dining table.

The family room at the rear provides further space in which to relax, with cornicing and a ceiling rose, and French doors opening onto the rear gardens.

Also across the back of the ground floor there is a private study for home working, which could be used as a bedroom if required, plus a well-equipped kitchen and breakfast room with sleek white fitted units, integrated appliances and a breakfast table.

One double bedroom can be found on the ground level, as well as a shower room.

On the upper level there are a further three double bedrooms, with skylights and dormer windows, and access to eaves storage.

The larger principal bedroom features additional storage in built-in wardrobes. Also on the first floor is the family bathroom, which has a bathtub with an over-bath shower.

At the front of the property, the gravel driveway provides parking space, as well as access to the integrated double garage.

The garage itself has parking space for up to two vehicles, but could also be converted into additional living space if required, providing the potential to extend the accommodation by around 300 square feet.

The driveway is enclosed at the front by high hedgerows, while the gardens are mostly to the side and rear.

They include a patio area for al fresco dining, a sunken seating area and a wrap-around lawn, bordered by high hedgerows for a sense of peace and privacy from neighbouring homes.

There are also two sheds for garden storage.
