Stairs lead up to the first floor.
Open Plan Lounge/Diner: Situated at the rear of the home with patio doors leading out onto the access road. The dining area has a solid wood table that comfortably seats 6 guests and is a great place for eating and entertaining on an evening.
The lounge area has two sofas, a Smart TV and a fully functional log burner for cosy nights in by the fire. By the patio doors, there are two chairs overlooking the outdoor and would be a perfect place to read a book with the doors open on a nice summer evening. The internal door by the lounge, leads into the fully equipped kitchen.
Please note that the living room photos show a different TV and the TV inside has been upgraded to a Smart TV.

Outside:
The outdoor decking area is fully enclosed and overlooks the start of the River Thames. Although it looks like a small stream running through the Estate, it's unbelievable to think this river expands massively into the iconic river running through the centre of London. The Thames Trail is a public path that follows the River Thames from the very start, all the way into London (Woolwich), although it is 185 miles long, there are plenty of country pubs and villages along the way, should you wish to walk a small proportion of it.
There is ample seating area on the decking area with 2 outdoor chairs and a coffee table, and an outdoor dining table with chairs that comfortably seat 4 people. The owner has provided a BBQ, which is a great addition during the summer months, listening to the trickling of the stream and the local wildlife.
Parking:
Toad Hall has a designated parking space, plus numerous overflow car parks in proximity.
There are also multiple electric car charging points across the estate.
