Sitting back from a leafy tree-lined road in a prized Horsell village location, an abundance of picture perfect period fireplaces, picture rails and leaded windows lends an immense degree of charm and character to this graceful three storey family home. Semi-detached with private driveway and garage parking, the tranquillity of its utterly beautiful gardens is a joy to experience. Elegant living and dining rooms with bay windows combine with a traditional country kitchen/breakfast room to provide ample space to relax and entertain, while five generous bedrooms supply flexible family accommodation. A large loft space has a host of possibilities, and there’s plenty of opportunity to refresh each room to reflect your own sense of style.

Behind the rich green foliage of high hedgerows lending plenty of privacy, a picturesque front garden offers an enchanting introduction to this Waldens Park home. The archetypal tile hung bay façade gives an immediate indication of the heritage and character within, while a pretty seating space in the garden and the sweeping arch of the covered doorway entice you to find out more.

Step inside and you’ll find a wide welcoming hallway with crisp white corbels and cornicing beautifully lit by the leaded windows and glazing of the doorway. Its notable proportions give an instant sense of the space within and lead the way to the grace and elegance of two wonderful reception rooms. With natural light tumbling into each from quintessential bay windows, both the double aspect living room and adjacent dining room proffer ample space to spend together with family and friends. Encompassed by picture rails and hugely versatile to your own needs and lifestyle, these marvellous spaces have distinguished focal point fireplaces. Whilst the soft subtle tones of the living room lend a calm and restful feel, the rich red stripes and floral patterns of the dining room add a dramatic dash of colour above and below its dado rails,

At the end of the hallway a classic country kitchen/breakfast room is a great place to sit and plan the day ahead. A wealth of superbly crafted rich wood cabinets with their inlaid countertops houses an array of integrated and freestanding appliances, while beneath the timber lintel of the chimney breast there’s the potential to incorporate a classic range cooker. Double aspect sash windows look out onto the gardens, the notable dimensions easily accommodate a large central dining area, and a demi-glazed door makes it easy to step out onto the patio for a peaceful morning coffee or enjoy a gin and tonic on a lazy summer afternoon. A cloakroom completes the layout of the ground floor.

The classically carved balustrades of the staircase lead the way upstairs where the abundant period charm and lovely leafy vistas continue. Producing an ideal measure of flexible family accommodation, five notably light and bright bedrooms pepper the upper two storeys. On the first floor a trio of picture perfect period fireplaces in three double bedrooms provide further reminders of this homes heritage and history. However, it is perhaps the magnificent arc of the principal bedroom’s leaded bay windows that really captures your imagination and transports back to the elegance of a bygone age. Tasteful fitted wardrobes in both the principal and second bedrooms provide plenty of storage, while upstairs a fourth bedroom is ideal for a teenager in search of their sense of space, and a fifth is highly versatile as a study or nursery. Generating a range of possibilities, a 19ft boarded and walk-in loft space currently provides an enviable measure of handy storage. A first floor family bathroom can easily be refreshed and updated into a contemporary space that adds a luxurious finishing touch to a marvellous family home.

Step out from the kitchen/breakfast room onto a sheltered paved patio amidst the pretty blooms of mature climbing shrubs and fully stocked flowerbeds encircling the gently bubbling pond. Peaceful and private it gives the perfect vantage point to sit back and admire the beautiful English country garden that reaches out in front of you. Tranquil and idyllic this is a heavenly way to escape from the world outside.

Framed by high hedgerows and marvellously mature shrubs, an extensive lawn gives every excuse to take a stroll in the sunshine to the dazzling white flowers of established azaleas and the distinctive colours and shapes of Pieris, Acers and ferns. Statuesque trees lend dappled shade, and a paved path curves its way to the rear where a rose covered arch invites you into a “secret garden” delineated by classically styled trellis fencing that could become your own personal oasis.

At the front of the house a broad gravel driveway borders the established lawn and together with the garaging has private off-road for numerous vehicles

Waldens Park Road is considered by many to be one of Horsell's best roads. A highly sought after tree lined road in a conservation area within walking distance of Horsell Village Schools, shops and restaurants and yet still within easy reach of Woking with its further recreational facilities and its mainline station with 26 minutes fast train to London Waterloo.
