Pembroke Road, Woking, Surrey, GU22

Retaining a wealth of refinement and elegance, Wychwood is an exceptional family home in a coveted central Woking location. Tastefully styled throughout blending period charm with considered contemporary detailing, it opens onto beautifully secluded south facing gardens. Benefiting from integral garaging, its fluid layout unfolds over 2679sq ft with a duo of wonderful reception rooms, an exemplary Shaker kitchen and principal bedroom suite.

Sitting back from the greenery of Pembroke Road behind the clipped hedgerows and mature trees bordering its gravel driveway, the distinguished white facade of Wychwood instantly hints at its heritage. Framed in blue, classically tall sash windows and the doorway lend a dash of colour while Corinthian pilasters guide the way into an enclosed entrance porch with a chequered tiled floor.

Step inside and you’ll find a beautiful herringbone floor running underfoot in a wonderful central hallway unfolding onto a wealth of space in which to relax and entertain. Picture rails and original doors with their architrave frames and brass beehive knobs pepper a hugely fluid layout while the idyllic south facing garden lends an enchanting backdrop.

The warm timber tones of the hallway’s floor flows seamlessly into a spacious lounge/dining room filled with light from a wealth of triple aspect windows. A tiled fireplace generates a homely focal point while a wide archway subtly delineates the admirable dimensions allowing you to create two defined areas for everyone to enjoy.

Echoing these elegant aesthetics a matching family room fills your gaze with the garden and has a picture perfect fireplace of its own. Producing ample opportunity to be a study/home office if preferred this inviting space is finished with bay French doors that make it temptingly easy for daily life to filter out into the summer sun.

Across the hallway the sense of light and space continues in a sympathetically styled Shaker kitchen/dining room where sleek white granite countertops wrap-around to give a prodigious amount of bar stool seating. A Quooker tap makes life that little bit easier and a first class array of integrated appliances includes a gas hob, tower ovens and dishwasher. Superbly sized and designed to be a sociable space where everyone can spend time together, the layout extends into a considerable dining area with French doors leading the way to an enviably secluded west facing terrace. A bank of floor to ceiling cabinetry offers substantial storage space and a demi glazed door opens into a useful utility room which in turn provides convenient access to the integral garaging.

Follow the graceful curves of a turning staircase and upstairs you’ll discover a lovely flow of natural light tumbling in from a perfectly placed sky lantern. Five equally impressive bedrooms stretch out around you producing an ideal measure of flexible accommodation for a growing family, guests or working from home. Conjuring all the elegance you’d hope for in a period property with their picture rails and multi-paned sash windows, a trio of double aspect bedrooms with original fireplaces look out over the greenery of the gardens.

Set peacefully in its own wing, a principal bedroom has an expanse of Shaker wardrobes and an exemplary large en suite that pairs an inset bath and walk-in shower with a duo of traditional pedestal basins. Each of the additional two echoes its supremely calm and restful feel and has fitted storage of their own, while a duo of generous single rooms includes one currently used as an excellent study. Together they share an impeccable family bathroom that complements the design of the en suite. A ground floor cloakroom completes the layout of this exceptional Woking residence.

Outside
Beautifully bordered by the evergreen foliage of mature hedging and statuesque trees, the blissful south facing garden engenders a tremendous amount of privacy and seclusion. Tranquil and reflecting the heritage and graceful architecture of the house, these are gardens that instantly make your shoulders relax and prompt you to take a break from the hubbub of any given day.

Quintessential Wisteria vines clamber elegantly up the crisp white facade and a considered selection of Acers and flowering shrubs fill well-tended flowerbeds adding plenty of seasonal colour and interest. The French doors of the family room entice you to take a stroll across a prodigious lawn in the summer sun, while the doors of the kitchen/dining room allow the south and west facing terrace to become an easy flowing extension of the house and an idyllic place for al fresco dining.
At the front of the property a substantial gravel driveway gives a notable level of privacy from passers-by and combines with the integral garaging to give an abundance of private off-road parking.
