An immaculately presented, five-bedroom family home that offers the most wonderful rural lifestyle and within ½ mile to Cheam School.
Galley Lane Farm is a lovely country home that has been thoughtfully improved and extended in the past decade by the current family while retaining the charm and character of the original farmhouse. The quality of finish and attention to detail is outstanding, both inside and within the gardens and extensive grounds, and the carefully considered layout flows wonderfully well for modern family life. First impressions are striking and wrought iron, electric gates open onto a spacious Cotswold gravel driveway which opens to a large courtyard. The main house sits in landscaped, low maintenance gardens and adjacent is a detached barn with covered parking and impressive secondary accommodation and leisure space.The front door leads into a large, bright hallway, off which are the main reception rooms. The dining room is ideal for entertaining, and opposite this is the WC/ cloakroom. The warm and inviting sitting room has a wood burner and leads through to a study which offers privacy for home working. A door from the sitting room leads out onto the terrace and garden. The large, air-conditioned kitchen forms the focal point of the house with panoramic views over the expansive grounds through two sets of bi-fold doors. The kitchen has an electric, four-door Aga and central island with both a breakfast bar and family dining area. Off the kitchen is a walk-in larder.
