St. Nicholas Crescent, Pyrford, Woking

Life. Leisure. Landscape.

An elevated position, a welcoming community and a wonderfully relaxed pace of life set the scene at St Nicholas Crescent. Within this gated development, tennis courts, leafy walks and places to pause sit alongside a townhouse offering flexible accommodation and its own private courtyard garden.

Part of the wider Rowley Bristow development, the setting has a distinctive feel, with paths to explore, benches to sit at and a friendly mix of residents of different ages and stages of life.



The main living level brings the kitchen, living and dining areas together, with a separate cloakroom close by. The living and dining room feels light and welcoming, with patio doors drawing in daylight while opening directly onto the private courtyard garden. It is a space for relaxed evenings, leisurely breakfasts or a sunny afternoon with the doors open and the garden just beyond.



The separate kitchen is fitted with stylish Mackintosh cabinetry, high-end integrated appliances and a peninsula breakfast bar, creating a sociable spot for a morning coffee or a quick bite. The window enjoys leafy views across the surrounding grounds, bringing a sense of greenery into the room while keeping the kitchen distinct from the main living area.



The home has benefited from refurbishment, including updates to the kitchen, bathrooms, flooring and heating, alongside new internal doors and a refreshed finish throughout.



Downstairs, the original double garage has been partially converted, retaining a single garage alongside a utility room and an additional living space currently used as a study and sitting area. This room offers useful flexibility, whether for working from home, pursuing hobbies, reading or enjoying a quieter place to sit away from the main living room.



Upstairs, three bedrooms offer room to adapt as life changes. The principal bedroom has built-in wardrobes and its own en-suite shower room, creating a comfortable place to retreat at the end of the day. Bedroom two is a spacious double, ideal for family or visiting guests, while bedroom three has built-in storage and could become a child’s room, a home office or a creative space of your own. A separate family bathroom is also on this level.



Outside, the private courtyard garden is designed for easy enjoyment rather than hours of upkeep. There is space to sit out and enjoy the sunshine, while a gate leads directly into the communal grounds beyond.



Extending across around 20 acres, the shared grounds offer plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors without needing to get in the car or plan a day out. There are paths for dog walking, benches for a quiet pause and two tennis courts for an impromptu game when the mood takes you. Children have room to play, while the mix of residents and relaxed, neighbourly atmosphere give the development a genuine sense of community. Whether it is a peaceful walk or a little time spent chatting with neighbours, the grounds offer a welcome breathing space from busy routines.



There is an interesting history behind the development, too. The site was once home to Rowley Bristow Hospital, with its story beginning with St Nicholas’ Home in 1907 and St Martin’s Home in 1915. The two later became an orthopaedic hospital, named in honour of surgeon Walter Rowley Bristow. Today, the former hospital site has become a residential community shaped by its shared grounds and distinctive setting.



The development is self-managed through a residents’ management company, which oversees the communal grounds, lighting, gated entrance and tennis courts. The service charge contributes towards the upkeep of these shared facilities, helping to maintain the surroundings residents enjoy.



Beyond the gates, Pyrford offers village amenities, including the cricket green, church and village hall, with further shops and everyday conveniences nearby. Pyrford Primary School is a local feature for families, while the surrounding countryside and waterside routes provide plenty of choice for walking and cycling.

West Byfleet station is within walking distance, with trains towards London Waterloo, while the A3 and M25 offer convenient connections for journeys further afield. At home, driveway parking for two to three cars, an EV charging point and visitor parking within the development add to the practical appeal.
