Almondbury, Carters Lane, Woking, Surrey

We have an innate desire for uniqueness and exclusivity and when something is rare, it becomes more desirable. A special home such as Almondbury with its rarity, is a source of secret joy.

From its secluded location leading down to the banks of the River Wey and on to the historical ruins of Woking Palace with its old deer parks – to its galleried landings and elegant turning staircase; the instant appeal and special features at Almondbury, sets it apart.
Lilac wisteria hangs from the twining branches over the canopy doorway and the charming façade of the house instantly hints at the character within. It’s here where you can enjoy a sense of presence and appreciate the beauty of your surroundings – it’s serene and green amongst the foliage with enchanting reminders of a bygone age.

Pause and reflect in the central hallway which reveals the first intriguing glimpse of what’s to come… an appealing first impression, a room in its own right. Your eyes will be drawn to the simplicity and calm spaces beyond.

Almondbury is a comfortable home that benefits from an extended and flexible layout providing an ideal combination of formal and informal areas, to include, a charming living room with bay window and working fireplace, additional reception room with double doors leading out to the secluded patio and a practical downstairs shower room.

Here, the country style kitchen/diner feels like a special part of the home; designed with functionality in mind - rustic elements add character and charm. The welcoming nature of the kitchen, which expands into the versatile conservatory offering views of the garden, makes it an inviting space for family and friends to spend time together. The lifestyle here is all about creating a gentleness so the layout flows more freely and effortlessly – rooms with a connection to nature, not only is nature beautiful, it is also good for us.

With the warm tones from the oak balustrades, the turning staircase gracefully guides the way to the first floor galleried landing and here is where three surprisingly bright and characterful spacious double bedrooms, study and family bathroom all benefit from the captivating scenery from every viewpoint.

Upstairs on the top floor is a serene sanctuary providing a place of calm and quiet luxury away from the busy goings-on elsewhere in the home. Enjoy this light and airy private retreat with its skylights and far-reaching views. The galleried landing lends itself to providing a dressing/study area and the separate shower room is offering the opportunity to relax away from the pressures of an ‘always on’ world. Unwind and drift off to sleep – wake up to natural light feeling happy and rested.

Sharing our gardens with nature brings joy and this outside space with its busy pond is a haven for wildlife. Here, the delightful country gardens will inspire you. Informal charm of perfumed roses, floral spires, herbaceous borders and soft leafy ground cover. Long summer sunny days are spent with nothing more pressing to do than to have fun - here is where little feet can run free, let off steam, collect fresh eggs from happy hens, while the pergola provides dappled shade for a comfortable outdoor environment for activities like dining, reading or relaxing.

Separate side access leads down to plenty of parking and the detached garaging/spacious outside storeroom - with an opportunity to enhance. Whilst enjoying the feeling of being away from it all, you are just moments from the centre of Old Woking.
Almondbury is a cherished, happy home with rare qualities and has a personality all of its own which makes it special and memorable.
Living in this idyllic tranquil safe haven provides opportunities for a lifestyle that simply cannot be missed. Simple pleasures, peaceful dog walks by the river, running and cycle routes nearby… or quite simply, potter in the gardens.
