Property description

Dating back to 1927 and offering an enviable amount of privacy, this Art Deco home sits tucked away within gated grounds in an exclusive Horsell cul de sac setting. Elegant and graceful, its beautiful floor to ceiling bow windows offer idyllic garden vistas, while plans have been drawn up to enhance the impressive dimensions further and add detached double garaging (stnc). Behind a double fronted facade three exceptional reception rooms, a traditional kitchen/breakfast room and an office/study generate a wealth of versatile space in which to relax and entertain.

Behind the Art Deco curves of a covered doorway with quintessential side lights and exposed brick alcoves, a magnificent central entrance hall instantly engenders a sense of the grace and elegance within. The rich tones and herringbone patterns of a new parquet floor stretch out before you inviting you to explore the ground floor of this exceptional Horsell Vale home.

Beautifully lit by their statuesque floor to ceiling bow windows, two superb double aspect reception rooms offer idyllic garden vistas. A distinguished fireplace with a new log burner adds a homely and cosy feel to the wonderfully large living room, while the linear Art Deco detailing of the ceiling is a subtle reminder of the property’s heritage. In the adjacent formal dining room the intricate fruit patterns of William Morris wallpaper perfectly complement the abundant foliage on view in the garden. French doors make it easy to step outside for after dinner drinks and a magnificent marble fireplace lends the perfect finishing touch. An additional office/study with bay windows provides an excellent environment for anyone working from home.

Across the hallway a large country kitchen/breakfast room offers a more relaxed dining space that’s ideal for family meals and catching up on the day’s events. Traditional pine cabinets wrap-around the kitchen area supplying ample storage and housing a great range of both integrated and freestanding appliances. Further French doors entice you out onto the patio and the easy flowing arrangement also leads the way to an additional double aspect family room with wide sliding doors and a fantastic amount of versatility to cater to your own lifestyle needs. A separate utility room adds to the sense of space, and a conveniently placed cloakroom has a fabulous jigsaw pattern floor.

It’s good to note that plans have been drawn up to reconfigure the kitchen/breakfast room, family room, utility and cloakroom to create one hugely fluid open plan space. The cloakroom would be cleverly repositioned adjacent to the utility room, allowing the kitchen/breakfast room to be opened up into the family room where a wall of bi-fold doors would replace the existing sliding doors to generate a seamless connection with the patio and gardens.

Retaining a wealth of charm the Art Deco balustrades of the staircase invite you upstairs where French doors open from the hallway onto an archetypal brick balcony that’s an ideal spot to sit back and relax with a coffee and a podcast or book. Five equally impressive bedrooms are light filled with garden vistas, and whilst two have more of those tremendous bow windows they all benefit from tasteful fitted storage. Two superbly presented bathrooms are both luxurious and family friendly, each having underfloor heating as well as their own character and style. The highly contemporary suite of one is arranged in a sleek yet sympathetically chosen monochrome tile and mosaic setting. The exceptional heritage suite of the other, with its freestanding roll top bath, Savoy basin and vanity unit, and green subway tiles adds an altogether more sumptuous feel that demonstrates an attention to detail. A large loft space is mainly boarded and provides plenty of additional storage space.

Behind a gated driveway the glorious gardens of this Art Deco home give a tremendous sense of peace and tranquillity. Encompassed by brilliantly tall clipped and shaped hedgerows there’s an immense feeling of privacy and seclusion. Beautifully planted flowerbeds of mature shrubs generate seasonal colour and interest, while the extensive and established lawn curves its way around the house giving every excuse for children to play or sit and relax in the sun. With its rich greenery, blooms and foliage this English country garden perfectly complements the elegance of the house and a paved patio gives a blissfully secluded place to unwind or enjoy al fresco dining with family and friends.

A large timber shed has ample external storage for garden tools and furniture, and the gated driveway has off-road parking for several vehicles. Additional plans have also been drawn to build a detached double garage.

The property is extremely well situated. Horsell village is a few minutes' walk away and offers schools for all ages, local shops and several well regarded eateries. The larger town of Woking can be reached on foot and offers an array of high street stores and restaurants, as well as a cinema and theatre which regularly hosts popular West End Shows. Trains from Woking's main line station leave every few minutes to London Waterloo and reach their destination in around 26 mins.
