Hollybank Road, Pyrford, Surrey, KT14

This beautiful period home set in approximately 0.5 acres, on an exclusive private road, was built in 1922 and was originally commissioned for a professional pianist who subsequently gave lessons from the formal lounge overlooking the gardens. Later, in the late 1940s, it was bought by a family returning from India who lived here for 40 years. The current owners are the third family to live here and have been in residence for the past 30 years. Shepards has been impeccably maintained and thoughtfully improved during their time here.

The property is perfect for families looking for ample space and comfort. Laid out over three floors, it boasts three superb reception rooms, two of which have working fireplaces, and a fabulous, well-established kitchen/diner which leads onto the garden with views of the fruit trees. There are also five excellent sized double bedrooms, of which the principal is a wonderfully spacious and airy room with the addition of a superb walk-in dressing room and a generous en-suite. The principal bedroom and the entire top floor are fitted with air conditioning, providing comfort throughout the warmer months.

The garden is a particular highlight and can be accessed from various points of the house, offering a tranquil retreat for relaxation and entertaining guests. Designed by garden designer Julia Jones, it provides a beautiful and mature setting. The interior is tastefully decorated with high-quality finishes throughout, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. There is also the addition of a spacious utility room with an adjacent second downstairs WC and a useful boot room.
