Littlewick Road, Woking, GU21

Having undergone a meticulous £2million renovation, this extraordinary residence presents a truly unique opportunity to acquire a home bursting with character and history the like of which is rarely available.

It is hard for me to overstate how truly incredible Whitfield Court Estate is. I have personally seen the process of renovation and care and detail taken over several years to get to this point and this really is a truly wonderful home.

This is an outstanding opportunity to acquire a local landmark of significant historical interest with the detailed renovation embellishing the original buildings to create a fabulous home, that remains respectful of its’ legacy and architecture, whilst being updated for modern living throughout.

Set within extensive grounds of approaching 6 acres, the main Grade II* listed house has a handsome red brick facade and accommodation laid out over three floors.

Throughout there are stunning numerous character features becoming a property of this age including exposed beams, wall panelling and decoratively detailed fireplaces.

Approached via footpath from a gated entrance the central entrance hallway is a stunning start from which to access the outstanding living space the main house provides.

The double aspect living room is filled with sunlight from majestically tall bay windows and has a wonderful fireplace that provides a natural break between this room and the luxurious kitchen/ breakfast room beyond.

The layout of the beautifully finished light and airy kitchen includes a beautiful Bertazzoni range cooker nestling under a classic mantel extractor, a substantial central island, food preparation area and a good size pantry/store room.

The view from the kitchen over the walled garden is wonderful and double doors open directly to this, which is lovely feature of this area of this gorgeous home.

There are two further gorgeous reception rooms finished in heritage colours with beautiful flooring and exemplary detailing including wood panelling, cornicing and fireplaces.

Additionally, to the ground floor there is an excellent utility room, cloakroom and a cleverly hidden plant room.

The second floor can be accessed via two separate staircases one being more modern and made bespoke for the house with the other being original and I am advised one of only thirteen such staircases by the designer. Both are extremely beautiful in their respective ways.

The principal bedroom is extraordinary with its’ triple aspect space stretching out beneath the incredible beams of a vaulted ceiling that gives a feeling of incredible space and a majestic feeling suitable to such a wonderful room.

The principal bedroom includes a dressing room area and an ensuite that offers absolute luxury with a waterfall shower and glorious freestanding bathtub.

The other four bedrooms on this floor are all doubles and benefit from wood flooring, focal point fireplaces and lots of natural light with one of these bedrooms being ensuite, whilst the remaining bedrooms share a beautiful deluxe bath/shower room that is finished beautifully and complements the ensuites superbly.

The top floor is accessed via its’ own staircase which leads to a truly stunning loft room with a beamed vaulted ceiling and this space provides a host of possibilities as to how you would choose to use the great space on offer.

Outside:

Set within the original walled frontage, a quintessential gate opens onto the greenery of the Whitfield Court’s wrap-around gardens and the curves of a tastefully landscaped path give the ideal vantage point to stand and admire a double fronted facade that’s been fastidiously restored to its former glory.

The tranquillity continues to the rear of the house where a secluded terrace connects with the entrance hall and kitchen/dining room creating a heavenly sanctuary for al fresco dining.

A Greenset tennis court, further large lawn and formal landscaping combine to give you every excuse to spend time in the sunshine.

An original carriage house has been impeccably converted into Whitfield Court Cottage, this being a self-contained dwelling with a kitchen/living room, two double bedroom suites and a first floor mezzanine.

Accessed via a gated driveway, the detached Grade II listed barn with its duo of mezzanines is currently used as secure storage for eight vehicles, with there also being further parking provided in the four bay garage, that sits adjoining a workshop.

Furthermore, the remaining storerooms provide space for circa seven further cars making this property ideal for anyone who is a car enthusiast and perhaps has a collection to securely store.

Together the barn and outbuildings also offer a wealth of scope to be converted into additional living accommodation (stpp) or for running a business from.

Adding to the immense feeling of space and work/life balance on offer, the grounds extend into a substantial woodland area and provide the chance to grow your own fruit in an established orchard.

Equestrian households will take note of the seven stables and those running a business will appreciate a fully powered office that was once a grain store.
