This property was once the gatehouse to an early seventeenth century manor now known as Crastock Manor, set amongst extensive parklands. The three Gatehouse cottages were re-built in 1930 as workers‘ cottages to the estate.   This particular property is incredibly light and spacious and found on a large plot with a wonderful aspect. Solid stone paving surrounds the rear of the property and provides a discrete and quiet area to sit and socialise. In 2010, an architect re-designed the house as a four-bedroom property with the potential for five bedrooms. He created a light and airy sustainable house, with cavity wall and roof insulation and solar panels. It is a house which mixes the old character of brick fireplace surrounds with a modern interior. Downstairs, an extensive open plan kitchen, dining room and living room enjoys large patio windows with views of the beautiful gardens. The kitchen is white with black granite worktops including a built-in steam-bake oven, microwave, dishwater, fridge - freezer, washer and dryer. Three modern bathrooms complement the overall design. The living room's fireplace has a cast iron stove and space for two seating areas. An annex with an en-suite shower-room forms part of the extension providing privacy for a young adult or older family member. The main bedroom, upstairs is designed to be part of a suite with a sitting room and terrace overlooking the meadows, an en-suite bathroom with shower and an extensive walk-in wardrobe/dressing room. This makes an ideal getaway from the rest of the family who may be watching TV downstairs. Alternatively, a fifth bedroom could easily be created here.
The garden is designed to maximise the width and the outlook over fields and woodland. The meadows to the west of the property and the oak woodland at the top of the hill are home to an abundance of wildlife. It has attractive social seating areas and a first-floor terrace facing west with stunning views of the countryside. With a plot of approximately a quarter of an acre, the mature garden has a number of interesting features such as a rock garden, patios, raised beds, palm trees, automated lighting and rainwater harvesting. It has different areas to sit and enjoy different vistas.   Most of the area to the north of the property is taken up with spacious houses set in woodland, Worplesdon Golf Club and Woking Golf Club. The house is within easy reach of Worplesdon, Woking and Guildford stations and Hoe Valley Secondary School, judged outstanding by Ofsted . Worplesdon Station is a 5 minute drive or 20-minute walk.

Viewings on this stunning home are a must to appreciate the beauty.
