Pond Road, Hook Heath, Surrey, GU22

Situated on Pond Road only moments from the golf course in a highly regarded Hook Heath location, Barry Lodge is a rare find indeed. An elegant Arts & Craft home and integrated annex offering in excess of 7000sqft of accommodation on a seclude plot measuring just over 2.25 acres which simply doesn’t really exist in the area anymore. Whilst the property requires refurbishment today, the substantial footprint and plot size represents fantastic opportunity to become an incredible spacious family home styled to your own tastes and needs and clear further development potential within the grounds with minimal impact on the house itself.

Set back from the road behind its gated driveway and benefiting from a wonderful amount of privacy, the magnificent proportions of the main house retain a wealth of charm and character. The driveway traverses from the rear and side of the garden and then opens up to welcoming and extensive front driveway revealing the charming front elevations of the property.

The notable proportions of the entrance hallway, living room and dining room with superb bay windows and elegant fireplaces, give an instant indication of the amount of space this home has to offer. Three further receptions include a capacious 27x23 ft open plan kitchen with separate utility and the integral double garage completes the downstairs.

The charm and character continues upstairs on the first and second floors where eight bedrooms and three bathrooms provide ideal family accommodation in addition to a completely self-contained 1st floor annex complete with kitchen/living/dining room, double bedroom and its own bath/shower room. Each room benefits from lovely vistas of the surrounding greenery and grounds.

Outside

Encompassed by hugely tranquil gardens that wrap-around you. From the beautifully planted flowerbeds and established lawns that surround the outdoor pool to the additional detached garage/workshop and vegetable garden, to the flat lawn of what is thought to be former tennis court and light woodland area these abundant secluded grounds have something for everyone.
