The Avenue, Chobham, Woking, Surrey, GU24

Classically elegant whilst tastefully contemporary, Carmel offers the exclusivity of a prized private road location and the beautiful pare-back aesthetic of an immaculately curated interior.

Exemplary in its appointment and specification, an exceptional layout opens onto secluded garden from a magnificent kitchen/dining room while underfloor heating, porcelain floors, Crittall style doors and Hyperion fitted furniture are just a handful of the outstanding features that make this house an utterly enviable home.

From the graceful white blooms of Hydrangea Annabelle framing a canopied doorway to the perfectly clipped high conifer hedging granting privacy to a prodigious gravel driveway, Carmel instantly evokes an undeniable sense of tastefully understated luxury.

Inside, a superbly fluid layout unfolds from the quiet grandeur of an impeccable central entrance hall that instantly hints at the exceptional detailing that features throughout. The considered use of expansive powder coated Crittall style doors from the renowned Black Steel Doors cleverly gives tantalizing glimpses of the surrounding rooms, whilst the soft warm tones of porcelain tiles run cohesively underfoot giving a noted sense of unity to the ground floor. Underfloor heating and Hyperion fitted furniture feature throughout the house and a wonderfully chosen selection of lighting is sourced from Visual Comfort and Neptune.

Sophisticated yet inviting, a formal sitting room instigates every excuse for you to unwind and entertain in style. Bay windows look out onto the white hydrangeas, and whilst beautifully crafted cabinetry nestles within wide chimney breast alcoves, a first class wood burner sits within the fireplace framed by a refined stone mantelpiece.

However it is perhaps the spacious kitchen/dining room that will ultimately become a favoured destination at any time of the day or night. Stretching out over a tremendous 36’11ft, this magnificently designed space immerses you with the colour and greenery of breathtaking gardens and proffers an abundance of opportunity to spend time together. A relaxed seating area is paired with an extensive medial display cabinet and a glorious central dining area sits adjacent to French doors that allow the landscaped patio to become an integral part of the house. The elegant simplicity of the Shaker aesthetic is echoed in the kitchen where an impressive central island is topped with porcelain and has copious bar stool seating. A Rangemaster sits under a sympathetically chosen mantel extractor and integrated Siemens appliances, a Quooker tap and water softener proffer every convenience. A matching utility room with encaustic patterns, coats storage and the eternal charm of a butler sink allows laundry appliances to be kept hidden from view.

Versatile to your needs a fitted study is a peaceful haven in which to work from home when the need arises and could easily become a snug or play room if preferred. A superb cloakroom sits discreetly tucked away adding the perfect finishing touch to an outstanding ground floor.

The graceful turns of a central staircase entice you up to the first floor where cool white walls effortlessly engender a calm and restful feel. An electric Velux window allows natural light to tumble in and all around you a succession of impeccable double bedrooms produce an ideal measure of superior family accommodation. Taking centre stage an enviable principal suite sits peacefully to the rear filled with light and garden vistas. A wall of fitted wardrobes in the main bedroom area is complemented by those in a walk-through dressing room and a sublime en suite offers a sumptuous feel with its Mandarin Stone tile setting, twin basins, freestanding bathtub and walk-in waterfall shower.

Teenagers will love the second double bedroom with its equally deluxe en suite shower room, and together the additional two double bedrooms share an exceptional family bathroom that both rivals and matches the luxurious specification of the en suites.

It’s good to note that each of the en suites is bathed in light from further remote controlled Velux skylights, and whilst the taps in the en suites, bathroom and ground floor cloakroom are by Crosswater, the showers are by Hans Grohe. Up above you a fully boarded loft space is accessed via a retractable ladder.

Outside
Discerningly landscaped to create a blissful sanctuary from the noise of any given day, the extensive gardens stretch out to the rear encompassed by the perfectly clipped forms of Photinia Red Robin trees. High evergreen borders of mature hedgerows produce a prized level of privacy and seclusion, while lavender and hydrangeas lend a timeless elegance to fully stocked flowerbeds delineating and framing the manicured stripes of a considerable lawn.

When it comes out al fresco entertaining, the French doors of the kitchen/dining room make it temptingly easy to step out onto a broad paved patio, while a second seating area sits within the greenery of the lawn giving you ample excuse to take a stroll in the summer sun. Cabling is in place for your own choice of external lighting, and both the front and rear gardens have the added convenience of hot and cold water supplies as well as outdoor electric sockets.

At the front of the property the private gravel driveway supplies off-road parking to numerous vehicles and the house is already fitted with 3 phase electrics in preparation for an EV charging point.
