Full Details for 6 Bedroom Detached for sale in Woking, GU22 :
Understood to date from around 1905, Grey Walls is a substantial, impressive and iconic family house built originally by W G Tarrant, a well-known local builder and strong supporter of the Arts and Crafts Movement. The imposing façade of Grey Walls, with its arched and pillared portico, conceals an interior of exceptional quality.
The attractive and spacious reception hall includes an open fireplace, corniced ceiling and arched openings to the elegant staircase and dining room. On either side of the dining room the two principal reception rooms lead off in a Y formation. The sitting room is a particularly attractive room, with its carved stone, open fireplace and twin bay windows with seats. This more formal side of the house is ideal for entertaining whilst the beautifully appointed breakfast/kitchen with underfloor heating is ideally suited to informal dining and relaxed family living. French doors from the breakfast area open onto the attractive and secluded garden.
First floor accommodation comprises an elegant and spacious master suite with dressing room, a guest suite with shower room, two further bedrooms and a modern family bathroom. On the second floor, two further bedrooms and a shower room complete the accommodation. Bathrooms and en suites benefit from underfloor heating.
The property is approached from the road via automatic timber gates that open onto a tarmacadam forecourt and circular turning area, and detached double garage, with a spiral underground wine cellar. An area of level lawn adjoins the forecourt, with shrub and flower borders. The rear gardens comprise a paved terrace area and a kitchen garden, with the remainder laid to lawn, with shrub beds and borders and a specimen Catalpa tree (Indian Bean). A heated swimming pool has a paved surround and barbecue area plus adjoining pool house, with changing facilities and kitchenette.
Grey Walls lies in the highly regarded area of Hook Heath, some two miles to the south-west of Woking. Hook Heath's development began in the Edwardian era and has remained much sought-after owing to the benefits of its location and amenities. A post office and general store at nearby Mayford provide for convenience shopping whilst Guildford and Woking provide a full range of shopping, leisure and cultural amenities, in addition the main line stations providing fast and frequent connections to London Waterloo with its 26 min fast train.
Road links are also excellent, with the A3 and A30 for London and the M25 for the airports and the national motorway network. There is a wide choice of schools within easy reach, including Halstead, St Andrew's and Hoebridge.
Recreational opportunities include a tennis club, half a mile away, golf at a number of clubs in the area and, in addition, the surrounding area includes extensive tracts of open countryside, ideally suited to walking, cycling and riding.
