5 bedroom detached house

Stunning character home of fine architectural detail centrally positioned on a south west facing corner plot of 0.88 acres within the parkland setting of the sought-after Hockering Estate. Built in a Lutyens’ Arts and Crafts style by master craftsman WG Tarrant, creator of this gated boutique estate and of nearby St George’s Hill (Weybridge) and Wentworth Estate (Virginia Water).

Situated within a mile of Woking's mainline station (fast service to Waterloo in 25 minutes) the Hockering Estate is one of Surrey's most coveted and commutable gated private developments. The area benefits from ready access to main routes including the A3 and M3 for connection to London and the South Coast and the M25 for the airports and the national motorway network. Woking has excellent shopping, cultural and leisure amenities. The historic city of Guildford lies a few miles to the south. There is a very good selection of both state and private schools within easy reach including Hoe Bridge School, Cranmore, and Charterhouse among many others. Recreational opportunities abound both at local leisure centres and at highly regarded golf courses, country clubs and private health clubs. The common land surrounding Woking offers miles of walking and horse riding.

EPC Rating D.

Set mid-way along a secluded tree-lined avenue in a peaceful conservation area and surrounded on all sides by its own private landscaped gardens fewer properties are better positioned within The Hockering Private Estate. Internally the
principal rooms are generously sized, open plan and/or interconnected with south-westly orientation flooding the property with a great deal of natural light throughout the day. Unique original features include ornate fireplaces, superb oak joinery, stone mullion windows and oak latch doors features, hallmarks of the much admired Arts and Crafts movement. A traditional handmade kitchen, Artisans of Devizes French limestone flooring (underfloor heating), solid wood and honed granite work surfaces and integrated appliances adjoins both the breakfast room and the sitting room creating a super versatile and sociable entertaining and living space. Sympathetically extended by our clients in 2006 with new services throughout (electrics, LED lighting, zoned heating, new plumbing) and two new boilers (in utility room) installed in 2014, the property stands better than ever offering an abundance of living space presented in exceptional order throughout.
