Property
The property is approached via an driveway, which provides off-road parking for several vehicles and continues along the side of the house towards the detached garage and separate workshop.
Entry is through a small side porch, where a beautiful stained-glass door immediately sets the tone for the character found throughout the home. The porch opens into a welcoming central dining room, which provides a generous setting for family meals and entertaining. A decorative fireplace creates an attractive focal point within the room, although this is ornamental and not available for use.
Positioned at the front of the house is a separate sitting room, offering a comfortable and cosy space in which to relax. The log burner is a particularly appealing feature and is perfect for creating a warm atmosphere during the colder months.
To the rear is a well-equipped kitchen, offering plenty of cupboard storage, worktop space and room for everyday cooking. The kitchen continues into the garden room, which provides a useful and adaptable additional area. This space works particularly well as a boot room, utility area or informal breakfast space and provides direct access to the garden. A convenient ground-floor WC is also located here.
One of the property’s most distinctive features is the spiral staircase rising from the dining room and connecting all three floors.
The first floor is home to two well-proportioned bedrooms and an impressive family bathroom. The bathroom is spacious and beautifully presented, featuring a freestanding bath, a separate shower enclosure and a contemporary suite.
Continuing to the top floor, the third bedroom enjoys a rear-facing outlook with attractive views along the garden. The fourth room offers further flexibility and would work particularly well as a nursery, home office, dressing room or occasional bedroom.
Outside, the substantial rear garden is a genuine highlight of this home. The first section is principally laid to lawn, accompanied by a patio area that is ideal for outdoor dining, entertaining and relaxing during the warmer months. Beyond this is a more secluded section of garden, creating a private retreat with a fire-pit area positioned at the far end.
The driveway, detached garage, wood store and separate workshop provide excellent parking and storage options, further enhancing the practicality of this impressive family home.

Merton is a wonderfully characterful and highly versatile family home offering generous accommodation across three floors. With its two reception rooms, cosy log burner, flexible three/four-bedroom layout, spacious bathroom and extensive outside space, the property offers an appealing blend of charm, comfort and practicality.
The exceptional rear garden, ample driveway parking, garage and workshop make this a particularly rare opportunity within Colden Common. Offered unfurnished and available for immediate occupation, early viewing is highly recommended.
