Horsell

We are delighted to bring to market this distinguished five-bedroom, three-bathroom detached residence of significant historical importance. Thought to be one of the oldest homes in the village, 'Bowness' is a truly iconic property with origins dating back to the early 1800s, or possibly earlier. Originally a modest farmhouse with an adjoining dairy, the home was later transformed into a substantial family residence, with sympathetic additions made around the turn of the 20th century to enhance its character and scale.

Set on a generous, mature corner plot with part-walled gardens, 'Bowness' is approached via automated gates, leading to a detached double garage and ample driveway parking. The home is surrounded by beautifully landscaped grounds that offer a high degree of privacy and a timeless sense of charm.

Internally, the accommodation is both elegant and versatile. The ground floor features a characterful living room with a central fireplace and bay window, an impressive formal dining room, and two additional reception rooms that provide flexibility for family life or entertaining. The country-style kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with an Aga, and is complemented by a practical utility room and a downstairs cloakroom.

Upstairs, the property offers five generously proportioned double bedrooms and three bathrooms, providing well-balanced living space ideal for growing families. Period features are retained throughout, enhancing the property's unique charm and character.

Ideally located, 'Bowness' enjoys views of the nearby church and is just a short walk from the village centre, Woking Town Centre, and its highly regarded mainline station with fast and frequent connections to London. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of the village's heritage, offering a perfect blend of history, character, and convenience.

Nestled in the heart of the charming Horsell Village and within walking distance of the vibrant Woking Town Centre, this exceptional location offers a harmonious blend of village tranquillity, modern convenience, and excellent connectivity. Woking's mainline railway station provides fast and frequent services to London Waterloo in approximately 24 minutes, making it a highly desirable destination for commuters. In addition, superb access to the A3, M3, M4, and M25 offers seamless connections to central London, the southwest, and major airports including Heathrow.

Horsell Village is known for its strong sense of community and timeless appeal. Surrounded by picturesque countryside, residents enjoy scenic walks across Horsell Common and along the peaceful Basingstoke Canal. The village boasts a selection of acclaimed gastro pubs, independent shops, and a welcoming atmosphere that appeals to families and professionals alike.

This educational excellence adds to the village's enduring popularity with families seeking quality schooling within a friendly, well-connected community.
