Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
Step Inside
Offering the peace and seclusion of a private gated lane, Almondbury sits just a leisurely stroll from the enchanting ruins of the old Woking Palace. Located on land owned and maintained by the Guinness Trust, Carters Lane leads down to the banks of the River Wey and onto an important historical site that dates back to 1272. Inherited by Henry VIII in 1509 who became a frequent visitor during his reign, the Palace and its deer parks were substantially renovated by the King and Anne Boleyn and subsequently by Elizabeth I. Today the ruins of Woking Palace transport you back in time, serving as an enchanting reminder of a bygone age.
With the feature fish scale patterns of its hung tiles and the leafy foliage of wisteria the charming facade of the house instantly hints at the character within. Step in from the canopied doorway and you’ll find a central entrance hall beautifully lit from the galleried landings above. Unfolding around you, a trio of reception rooms combine to provide a wonderful choice of spaces in which to spend time together. A refined living room is both elegant and inviting with its working fireplace, picture rails and bay windows, while French doors in the adjacent sitting room tempt you out onto the tranquillity of a secluded patio.
Equally ideal for daily life or evenings spent entertaining friends, across the hallway a double aspect dining room opens into both a modern conservatory and country kitchen. With sliding doors and wrap-around glazing the conservatory forges a seamless connection with the gardens while the fully fitted kitchen is designed to house a range cooker and further freestanding appliances. Fluid and filled with light, it is easy to see that this flowing arrangement of rooms could be the heart and hub of your home.
With the rich timber tones of solid oak balustrades and soft carpeting underfoot the superbly wide turning staircase gracefully guides the way upstairs where five bedrooms proffer an ideal measure of flexible accommodation. Sympathetically styled and retaining an immense degree of original character, three double bedrooms and a versatile single bedroom pepper the first floor. The surrounding landscape and gardens add supremely restful vistas to each room and whilst three benefit from fitted storage together they share an attractive family bathroom with a wood panelled bath and pretty tiled setting.
The far-reaching views are echoed on the top floor where timber framed skylights in high sloping ceilings combine with a galleried landing to generate a commendable sense of space. A large double aspect principal bedroom is filled with light and allows you to admire landscape and the stars at night from the comfort of your own bed. A first class engineered wood floor and cool white walls add an understated twist to the charm of the rooms below and a deep alcove with eaves supplies handy storage without encroaching on the aesthetics.
The galleried landing with access to further eaves has ample space for a study area if needed. The generous proportions and skylights continue in a modern shower room that has a tastefully chosen basin console and stainless steel towel radiator. An additional shower room on the ground floor provides added convenience for busy school day mornings.

Nestled within established gardens to both the front and rear and situated only moments from the old deer parks of Woking Palace, Almondbury is truly the gardener’s paradise, encompassed by an abundance of colour and greenery. The old hunting grounds of the deer parks produce beautiful walks while the nearby river grants you the chance to visit renowned local pubs by kayak or canoe. The owner works at RHS Wisley and has added a number of unique plants.
Framed by tall trees and filled with mature shrubs the south-facing front garden adds a prized level of distance between the house and lane. A traditional brick paved path leads past a rose garden and ornamental border on either side leading to the hung tiles of the canopied doorway and continues through an enchanting gated archway to the side giving easy access to the detached garaging, providing ample parking.
Rivalling the house for charm and character, the rear garden stretches out before you producing a cherished hideaway from the hubbub of any given day. The doors of the conservatory and sitting room make it effortlessly easy to sit and enjoy a morning coffee or al fresco meals on the broad paved patio and an established long lawn has plenty of space for children to play.
High hedgerows and fully stocked borders enhance the quintessential English country garden feel, while a large timber pergola lends dappled shade to terracing that provides you with every excuse to relax, unwind and enjoy the simply pleasure of an afternoon siesta.
An external store room has handy space for bikes and barbeques.
