Sympathetically renovated to an exemplary specification this subtly extended Edwardian home offers an exceptionally rare opportunity to live in Waldens Park Road. Dating back to the very early 1900s and retaining all its original features, today the refined contemporary interior is both sophisticated and stylish. Perfectly positioned for commuters within a short stroll from the mainline station, it has been in the same family for approx 80 years, while a quintessential south-facing English country garden has been professionally maintained by the same gardener for 20 years.

Sitting back from a leafy tree-lined road full of rarely available period properties, this detached Edwardian home immediately engenders a superior first impression. Built shortly after the land was acquired in 1909, and having been in the same family for circa 80 years, from the elegant doors and picture rails to the magnificent cast iron fireplaces, it retains all of its original features.

Fully renovated and enhanced in 2017 with a sense fluidity and reverence that never once compromises the integrity of its history and heritage, this is an exceptional modern day family home. Structural changes have been sensitively carried out to subtly reconfigure and extend the layout, while the house has also been completely rewired, re-plumbed, and had new energy efficient windows installed.

Step through a charming covered porch and you'll find a light filled home where rich timber tones and luxurious detailing blends effortlessly with a refined grey and white palette. A commendable entrance hall instantly sets the tone and guides the way to a duo of reception rooms that combine to give an enticing double aspect open plan layout that looks out onto the picturesque south-facing gardens. Beautifully lit by bay windows, each of these salons generates a wonderful place to relax and entertain and has its own original fireplace. Picture rails wrap-around the generous proportions, while a wide archway delineates the space without encroaching on the aesthetics. Each of the five cast iron fireplaces that feature throughout the house have glazed surround tiling that currently sits nestled away behind protective panelling ready to be restored to its former glory.

Across the hallway an outstanding Shaker-style kitchen with idyllic garden vistas has been cleverly enlarged by the removal of an unused chimney stack. The classic patterns of a skilfully sourced Victorian tiled floor complement the heritage grey of painted cabinets that produce a wealth of storage whilst leaving space for a Rangemaster cooker and an American-style fridge freezer. Beneath a row of four perfectly placed petite glass pendants sleek granite countertops incorporate an under-mounted sink, and the Victorian tiles extend into an adjoining double aspect scullery/utility room. Notably large and light and intelligently extended, it keeps your laundry appliances hidden from view and offers convenient side access to the gardens. A stylish cloakroom sits discreetly tucked away from the main entrance hall.
With light tumbling in from a mid-point window, a bespoke flat-weave stair runner lends a distinguished dark contrast to the crisp white turning staircase that entices you upstairs. Impeccably styled to echo the attention to detail and sympathetic presentation that flows throughout each and every aspect of the house, three tremendous double bedrooms produce a supremely calm and restful feel. Currently an outstanding study/home office, the marvellous principal bedroom has more of those glorious gardens views and a simply sumptuous en suite. An enviable sanctuary with both north and south facing windows, this luxuriant space stretches out below a wonderful cathedral ceiling giving every excuse to retreat from the hubbub of the day and soak in the contemporary bathtub or refresh and awaken in the deluxe wetroom shower. Chimney breast alcoves and original cast iron fireplaces lend ample charm to each of the three bedrooms that together provide an ideal degree of flexible accommodation, and a fabulous family wetroom complements the en suite with its first class suite and tile setting.

Encompassed by the greenery of established conifer hedging the distinguished yet inviting frontage of this Edwardian home grants a feeling of privacy and a wonderful degree of kerb appeal. A charming paved path leads across the gravel to the bay facade of the property with its arched covered entrance and gabled roofs, and the admirable dimensions of the grounds provide ample off-road parking.

Beautifully maintained by the same professional gardener for the past 20 years, the heavenly south-facing garden creates a true oasis. Reflecting the grace and elegance of the house, it is an enviable escape from the world outside and the very definition of a quintessential English country garden.

Ensconced within statuesque firs a pebbled patio is a tranquil spot for al fresco dining or to simply sit back with a glass of wine and admire the blissful colour and greenery that reaches out before you. A pristinely manicured lawn encourages you to take a stroll along deep flowerbeds planted with a lovingly tended selection of carefully chosen shrubs and trees giving seasonal splashes of interest. Stretch your legs and discover a classic garden bench that sits hidden away to the rear offering a peaceful refuge for a spot of contemplation with a morning coffee or to catch the last rays of summer sun. A timber shed has storage for all your tools.

Waldens Park Road is considered by many to be one of Horsell's best roads. A highly sought after tree lined road in a conservation area within walking distance of Horsell Village Schools, shops and restaurants and yet still within easy reach of Woking with its further recreational facilities and its mainline station with 26 minutes fast train to London Waterloo.
