Woldingham, Surrey

The property:

As the electric gates open and you enter the residence, the long drive lined by Italian Cypress trees immediately transport you to the Amalfi coast. This emotion continues as you ascend the grand sweeping steps at the front at the property, leading to the patio in front of the oversized ebonised style double doors, leading to the marble floored entrance hall.

Internally the property benefits from flexible accommodation, including a wonderful open plan living space, a study (office), six bedrooms (the master boasting a dressing room and en-suite bathroom), five bathrooms, a utility room and plant room. 

The accommodation can be arranged in several ways, including a separate annex within the main building. This house has been lovingly updated by its current owners. The architect design, re-build and re-furnishment of this wonderful home has been overseen at every stage by the current owners. The extensive works undertaken on this property have seen the living space completely refurbished and modernised. Taking almost two years and at huge cost the property has been extended to give capacious living space and further accommodation. This home bright and well-appointed using only the highest quality materials, with attention to detail at every point. The expansive open plan living space allows modern living with sitting, dining and entertaining space, with marble floor covering, under floor heating and a bespoke handmade kitchen with warm walnut cabinets, crystal handles and marble work surfaces. The quality of the finishing throughout this home is clear in every room, bespoke bathroom suites, handmade bedroom furniture and high-quality floor coverings running throughout. The attention to detail does not stop inside the house; the landscaped gardens are manicured and stocked with a wide range of plants including rare species. 

Fortaleza is not just a show house, it’s a warm family home. The patio doors which run alongside the dining area and lead on to the patio, create a perfect space for private dining or entertaining. The master suite is a private retreat, with en-suite bathroom and dressing room and long views over the valley. The second bedroom also is a haven; complete with a spa-like ensuite bathroom and French doors, giving access to the lush rear gardens. The study (home office) is perfectly situated in the centre of the home, so one can be there whilst "being at work". The positioning of the annex allows the space to be used continually in many ways, and yet still offer complete privacy for other family members. Perfect for more senior members of the family or a teenager looking for independence. 

 Externally the property boasts several outbuildings, including an annex with sitting area, kitchenette and shower room, a further summer house and as part of the re-build a newly erected triple garage with E.V. point and a gardeners toilet to the rear. The outbuildings offer endless possibilities, whether used for  office space, storage, a home gym, or a creative studio. 

With grounds approaching 2 acres, the lovely planted and maintained gardens offer long views over the rolling Surrey countryside from its elevated position.

Location:

In my opinion, with its flexible accommodation and private grounds, this home is the perfect retreat. The house is located in the hamlet of Woldingham just 1 mile from Woldingham Golf Club, and surrounded by bridleways and open land for country walks, yet is within 1.7 miles of Woldingham British rail station which offers a direct line to London Victoria or London Bridge Stations in just 32 minutes. This stunning property truly offers a lifestyle of luxury and comfort, where every detail has been carefully considered to create a welcoming and elegant family home.
