Property Details

Built in 1928, this attractive three bedroom red brick semi-detached family home, with character and charm, offers spacious living accommodation providing the feeling of a detached home.

This property is ideally located within walking distance to Woking town centre and its mainline station, offering extensive shopping, dining and leisure facilities. Woking train station has frequent and direct train links to London Waterloo in twenty five minutes, ideal for the London commuter. A stone’s throw away is the beautiful Baskingstoke canal, providing serene nature walks to St. Johns Village, where independent coffee and boutique shops can be found.

The property has a substantial in and out front driveway offering parking for up to five cars, and has the added bonus of a large detached tiled 18 ft garage.

The period characterful main entrance leads into a useful vestibule porch with original tiling. The dual aspect main living space has an attractive Chesney’s wood burning stove and fireplace, with wood panelling and dark oak wood flooring, continuing throughout the hallway and into the dining room. The bright and spacious dining room has an original open fireplace and chimney with period picture rail and overlooks the front aspect which also has mature shrubbery and trees. The well proportioned country kitchen, with its original 1920’s red brick tiles, comprises an oven, gas hob, extractor fan, wine rack and a usefully sized under stairs pantry. This leads to a red brick utility space and downstairs WC, with side door access to the detached garage and a pretty york stone tiled courtyard.

The living space also flows into the bright and spacious orangery, which was updated with planning permission in 2022, and is a significant feature of this house overlooking the beautiful mature south facing garden. It offers a great space to entertain and leads out via double doors to the decking area of the grassed garden. Ideal for your morning cup of coffee. Nestled amongst the range of mature shrubs and trees, is the colourful summerhouse, with other various outdoor spaces for entertaining. This beautiful garden offers peaceful privacy and seclusion.

The wide carpeted staircase progresses to a large bright upper landing, where the high standard of decor continues. Off to the right is the master bedroom with dual aspect windows, fitted with new luxury “Versailles Lavender” grey carpets, original picture rails and cast iron fireplace with ideally sized inbuilt wardrobes and storage. On the landing left is the bright and open second double bedroom, with a cast iron fireplace and various inbuilt wardrobes, also with new luxury grey carpet. The third double bedroom is currently being used as a dressing room, but makes an ideal third bedroom room or guest bedroom. The recently painted family bathroom features wood panelling and unusually dual aspect double glazed windows. Additional cupboard storage, which could be removed to extend the bathroom to create a separate shower and bath, or freestanding furniture. There is also a potential for a loft conversion to create an additional bedroom or storage space, with relevant permissions.

Planning permission was granted in August 2022 for a single story side extension, to create an expansive open plan kitchen-diner, downstairs bathroom and utility, and extending out the front to incorporate an electrical charging point and small attached garage for storage.

The central heating is gas fired via radiators, which had a new combi vaillant boiler installed in 2021. Double glazing throughout the property. There is a working comprehensive CCTV and fully alarmed system.
