A particularly attractive family home set in the sought after and picturesque setting of Sutton Green.

Whitmoor Lodge is set in the rural and historic village of Sutton Green, close to both Guildford and Woking and within easy and fast reach of London.

This period property has great history having previously been part of the Sutton Place Estate and has been adapted over time to create a well-balanced family home whilst retaining its character.

Throughout the house there is spacious accommodation with the benefit of plenty of natural light. Most of the downstairs rooms have a traditional style light oak strip flooring with an attractive light wood parquet flooring in the kitchen. Many of the rooms have exposed structural oak beams and posts adding character and period authenticity.

On entering the house there is a welcoming reception/dining hall from which you can access the downstairs cloakroom and stairs to the first floor.

The fully fitted shaker style kitchen with a breakfast area, is accessible from both the sitting room and an alternative access from the drawing room via the rear garden porch/utility area.

On the first floor there are four double bedrooms, one having an en-suite shower, plus a spacious family bathroom, with both a bath and separate shower.

The grounds offer various aspects in which to sit and enjoy this unique and picturesque setting. It sits surrounded by pretty gardens mainly laid to lawn with well stocked flower beds and a plethora of stunning species of well-established trees, of particular note being a magnificent Redwood conifer.
