Holly Bank Road, Hook Heath, Surrey, GU22

Unfolding over a magnificent 6000sq ft, Woodend has been meticulously extended and updated, and includes a self-contained annexe and integral double garaging. Set within breathtaking gated grounds, it opens onto capacious south facing gardens with a fantastic outdoor sitting room and barbeque area. Merely moments from the hubbub of central Woking and the Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club its sumptuous and sophisticated 3 storey layout balances luxurious décor with future-proofed Smart technology.

From the magnificent trees and al fresco entertaining areas of its south facing gardens to the versatility and convenience that a self-contained annexe has to offer, Woodened encapsulates an undeniable sense of grandeur. Sitting discreetly back from the leafy greenery of Holly Bank Road behind a prodigious gated gravel driveway, this detached double-fronted home has been extended and enhanced by the current owners to proffer a superior lifestyle.

Behind the elegance of a double fronted facade Smart design features have been incorporated with creativity and imagination across a three storey layout. Mesh Wi-Fi, multi room audio, electric blinds, Smart lighting, CAT6 cabling, air conditioning, underfloor heating, CCTV and smart garden irrigation are just a handful of the many subtle features of an exceptionally designed interior.

Bathed in light from a double height ceiling, a central entrance hall unfolds onto a wealth of space in which to relax, dine, entertain and work from home when the need arises. Instantly generating a noted level of cohesion, the rich sultry hues of its herringbone floor stretch out underfoot extending through double doors into a simply outstanding kitchen/sitting/dining room. Spacious, double aspect and offering a seamless interplay with the gardens, it is an incredibly special place for both day to day life and entertaining on a grand scale.

Circular and double sided, a wonderfully chosen Dik Geurts DG Odin wood burning stove with a Plateau bench gives delineation and unity to the exemplary sitting and dining spaces, while twin sets of bi-fold doors allow the terracing, barbeque area and al fresco sitting room to become an easy flowing extension of your home. Versatile to your needs and giving children their own sense of space, double doors open from the sitting room to reveal an adjoining playroom that enables toys and games to be hidden out of sight.

Supremely well-appointed to offer every convenience, the considerably large kitchen is fully fitted with the sleek clean lines of handleless cabinetry housing a bank of four integrated ovens. The black glass double doors of a fridge freezer blend beautifully with the surrounding dark blue cabinets, while an expansive central island with copious bar stool seating and induction hob is encased with the streamlined finish of a waterfall countertop. Pendant and kickboard lighting illuminate this sociable space at night and a trio of utility, pantry and boot room are set off of this, with fitted top of the range wine fridges.

An admirably proportioned study echoes the aesthetic giving a peaceful retreat for working from home and plenty of chance to have a music room or gym if preferred. However when it comes to escaping from a busy day and enjoying a family film night, the weekend’s sport or simply kicking back with a good book and a glass of wine, the addition of a separate double aspect reception room produces a sublime space in which to do so. Framed by a duo of modern sash windows, the warming flames of a brilliantly broad glass fronted bio ethanol fireplace lend a cosy yet contemporary focal point beneath the perfect spot for a large wall-mounted Smart TV. A cloakroom completes the layout of the ground floor.

Generating a hugely cohesive home, upstairs the palette of warm muted tones is once again peppered with matte black detailing and paired with the greenery of garden vistas. Wrapping around the galleried landing of the first floor, three light filled double bedrooms each have deluxe en suites. Extending out across the full depth of the property, an immense principal bedroom creates its own wing of the house. Graceful yet ultimately luxurious it has an integrated speaker system, a wonderfully large immaculately fitted dressing room, and a vast en suite where a contemporary freestanding bathtub adds a superb centrepiece. A floating console of twin basins framed by a duo of ladder radiators lends symmetry, a walk-in shower has a ceiling mounted waterfall head, and a WC sits discreetly hidden behind a door.

The second bedroom has a fitted walk-through wardrobe and an equally impressive Jack and Jill en suite with both a bath and walk-in shower, while the third has ample walk-in storage and an en suite bathroom. With access to an impressive degree of eaves storage two further double bedrooms sit on the top floor replicating the hugely generous dimensions that you’ve come to expect by now. Together they share an exemplary shower room that complements the design themes that flow throughout. Each of the bedrooms has the added benefit of air conditioning.

With its own private entrance from the driveway, the extensive first floor annexe has further air conditioning, a modern kitchen and shower room. Providing self-contained accommodation equally suited for staff, a nanny or guests, it also has the added advantage of creating the flexibility for the main accommodation to have two further double bedrooms.

Outside
Secluded, south facing and utterly striking, the capacious rear gardens transport you from the world outside to your own personal oasis. An expanse of bi-fold doors allows daily life to filter out onto a landscaped terrace that conjures a tremendous place for al fresco entertaining. At one end an outdoor sitting room caters for the unpredictability of the British weather with its wood burner, and has an electric heater and a fitted bar stool seating area with a fridge. At the other end a fitted barbeque area sits undercover and has an integrated grill as well as a dedicated spot for a Big Green Egg Kamado.

Bordered by heavenly high evergreen borders the stripes of an established lawn reach out before you tempting you to take a stroll to the rear where breathtakingly tall conifers give a woodland copse feel to an idyllic space where a timber tepee adds a blissful hideaway.

At the front of Woodend, a prodigious gated gravel driveway immediately engenders a prized level of exclusivity to this Hook Heath residence, combining with integral double garaging to supply secure off-road parking to a substantial amount of vehicles.
