Exquisitely styled and supremely spacious, Mulberry House is a truly prestigious residence. Sitting within an exclusive gated setting it offers a simply enviable lifestyle for all the family. Behind the beautiful tiles and gables of its distinguished period facade a magnificent interior demonstrates an understanding of light and space with the elegance and simplicity of its exemplary design themes. Feature fireplaces, intricate architraves, wood floors and bay windows blend seamlessly with sophisticated contemporary detailing throughout an expansive layout that offers four superb reception rooms, a superior kitchen/dining room and seven stunning bedrooms. A gym and double garaging add considered finishing touches, while gloriously large picture perfect gardens are utterly sublime.
Set back from the road behind its sweeping in/out driveway and capacious gated grounds, the statuesque windows and charming covered doorway of Mulberry House offer all the grace and grandeur you'd expect from a classic period property. Beautifully styled with the simplicity and elegance of a subtle palette and the rich tones of abundant wood floors, it would enhance the pages of any high end interiors magazine. From the encaustic tiled floor of its entrance porch to the refined cornicing and picture perfect windows, there is an immense measure of character and heritage throughout.
Enticing you to make a grand entrance, double doors invite you into a divine dining room that immediately sets the tone for what's to come. The interplay of room's wonderfully wide archway with the central hallway creates a hugely free flowing feel, giving an almost open plan design that hints at the fluidity of the accommodation. An outstanding place for formal entertaining, yet highly versatile to your own needs, this graceful double aspect room unfolds over 23ft and while seats within the bay windows offer an idyllic spot to sit with an aperitif, the stately fireplace adds a most distinguished focal point. Across the hallway two further reception rooms echo its aesthetics and generate an undeniably restful air with their superbly preserved fireplaces, picture rails and leafy vistas. Whilst the main room has more of those charming bay windows and easy access to the gardens, the second is a great option as a TV or family room. An additional study supplies a peaceful retreat at the rear of the house with French doors that give every excuse to step out into the summer sun.
Producing a considered contemporary twist, the magnificent kitchen/dining room adds an undeniable wow factor that's hard to ignore. Superbly appointed with a wealth of beautifully crafted oak cabinets and sleek granite countertops, the first class array of integrated Miele and Wolf and appliances make this a true cook's kitchen. Beneath an exceptional ceiling extractor, a brilliantly deep matching central island with a stylish bar stool zone creates a stunning centrepiece. The tastefully chosen stone tiled floor flows into an impeccable large dining area that's equally perfect for family meals or evenings spent catching up with friends, while double aspect French doors to the landscaped patio effortlessly extend this sociable space still further. A fully fitted utility room and separate cloakroom complete the ground floor.
The attention to detail, impressive proportions and period charm are echoed upstairs where a gloriously large central landing with its own decorative fireplace is illuminated by a roof lantern and proffers a coveted degree of floor to ceiling storage without encroaching on the graceful design. Six exemplary double bedrooms pepper the first floor producing an outstanding degree of flexible accommodation. Spacious and sophisticated, the principal bedroom blends soft neutral tones with the burnished bronze of a further fireplace, while natural light tumbles in via bay windows. Fitted wardrobes supply ample storage, and a sumptuous en suite is both contemporary and sympathetic to its period surroundings with a freestanding bathtub, floating basin and walk-in shower. Two of the additional first floor bedrooms complement the cohesive interior themes that flow throughout and benefit from deluxe en suite bathrooms, whilst the others share an equally impressive family bathroom. Offering the ideal hideaway for teenagers in search of their own sense of space, a seventh bedroom with an en suite wetroom and access to a pantry sits on the second floor adjacent to a commendable gym that lends an admirable finishing touch to this superior West End home.
Sequestered behind the sweeping curve of an extensive gated in/out driveway Mulberry House proffers a prized feeling of privacy and seclusion. The archetypal hung tiles and red brickwork of its stately facade retain an immense degree of charm and character combining with manicured lawns and evergreen flowerbeds to produce an utterly enchanting first impression. Detached double garaging is sympathetic to the history and heritage of the house.
The tranquillity of the heavenly rear gardens is a joy to experience. A brilliantly broad landscaped patio with an inset ancient tree is a blissful place for al fresco entertaining with copious space for everyone to enjoy sitting back and relaxing in the summer sun. Framed by the verdant foliage of statuesque trees, clipped hedgerows and marvellously mature shrubs, a commodious lawn reaches out before you supplying an idyllic backdrop with a quintessential wishing well. It gives every opportunity to stretch your legs and take a stroll to a discreetly delineated children's play area that sits beneath the dappled shade of leafy boughs. This is a halcyon place to escape from the world outside.
West End is a popular village which has several local facilities including a pub, butcher, baker and post office. Almost on the doorstep is the wide-open space and common land which makes it ideal for walking and cycling.
The property also falls within the catchment of the renowned Gordon's school which is just a few minutes' walk away. A short drive from the house will take you into the villages of Knaphill and Chobham the latter of which has an eclectic array of interesting pubs and restaurants along with its beautiful High Street. For those times when you require something more comprehensive Woking town centre is within easy reach of the house and thanks to an ongoing programme of imaginative and progressive regeneration now has a busy and contemporary feel to it with interesting bars, cafes, restaurants along with the New Victoria theatre and multi-screen cinema. Woking has what is widely regarded as one of the very best commuting stations that can be found in the south-east while from the house there is also the option of commuting from Brookwood station. The M3 is close by and connects with the M25 for access to both of London's airports.
