This truly outstanding 6 bedroom family home boasts a wealth of character features throughout, is ideally located in one of the area’s most prestigious roads and was built by the eminent Master Builder W.G. Tarrant. The property’s accommodation is laid out over three floors, extends to approximately 4,714 square feet and is set in an enviable plot, positioned in the middle of approximately 0.44 acres of mature grounds, approached by a sweeping gravel driveway that leads to the double garage. The house dates from circa 1920 and carries the original ‘Arts & Crafts’ period features which Tarrant embraced, including the fireplaces, polished solid wood flooring, lead casement windows, beautiful wood panelled walls and the core characteristics of ‘the belief in craftsmanship and the importance of nature as inspiration’ as promoted by the Movement. Upon entering the property, one is welcomed into a spacious and bright reception hall, off which is accessed all the main downstairs rooms. These sumptuous principal reception rooms with large bay windows face directly south-west overlooking the garden, typical of Tarrant’s design. The extensively equipped kitchen/breakfast room benefits from a walk-in pantry, an Aga and opens into the magnificent Orangery providing an excellent practical space and the ideal venue for those big family celebrations. The downstairs also features a spacious study and a family room/snug which has another attractive bay window. The main bedrooms are accessed via a returning staircase, have well-proportioned dimensions with high ceilings mirroring downstairs, with five bedrooms on the first floor and one on the second floor. The house boasts excellent storage including a large storeroom on the second floor with potential to create more accommodation, subject to permissions. This magnificent home continues to impress outside, with an established, well maintained, and secluded plot. The area has an abundance of substantial residences benefiting from mature trees, hedges and verges making this a highly sought-after location and giving the road a very secluded rural atmosphere. The close proximity to West Byfleet mainline station (London Waterloo in about 30 minutes) allows for ease of access to central London whilst being in a beautiful Surrey location.

The property is conveniently situated on a high-value, hedge-lined road and is within walking distance of West Byfleet's main line railway station with journey times to Waterloo taking about 30 minutes, while the village centre (just before the station) offers a wide selection of shops and restaurants including a Waitrose. Schools in the village include Roman Catholic, Church of England and state primary schools, and of course within a relatively short radius there are numerous other schools for ages. The area also offers a great selection of some of the finest golf clubs and the Nuffield Health and Leisure centre with pool and West Byfleet Tennis Club are only a short walk away. The town centres of Weybridge and Woking are a short drive away, Woking also has a leisure centre, swimming pool, theatre and multi-screen cinema whilst Guildford town centre is only 9 miles away and is easily accessed via train links and offers excellent shopping facilities
