Mid-century modernist home with the charm of quintessential English country gardens. Perfectly placed for everything that Woking has to offer, this detached family abode offers beautiful vistas. Retaining a wealth of modernist architectural details such as split level storeys, mezzanine galleries and picture windows, its light filled layout creates a wonderful blank canvas for you to refresh. A spacious double aspect living room opens onto tiered terracing, a charming dining room has a parquet floor and four double bedrooms share two bath/shower rooms. Outside, attached double garaging and a considerable driveway provide notable private off-road parking.

In an elevated position set back from the road by a bounty of evergreen foliage that bestows a prized sense of privacy from passers-by, Whittlesey is family home that admirers of mid-century design will find it effortlessly easy to fall in love with. Opening onto the tranquillity of secluded gardens, the split-levels and galleried landings of its layout conjure an enviable feeling of space while the well-presented interior gives you ample chance to make it your own.

Typifying the traits of its design, when you step inside you'll find richly toned open timber balustrades framing turning staircases. Beautifully lit by full height windows they entice you to explore each mezzanine level and hint at what's to come.

Stretching out across the full depth of the house a wonderfully large double aspect living room that's filled with light proffers an excellent measure of space in which to relax and entertain. Its expanse of glazing fills your gaze with leafy vistas, a theme that's carried throughout, while wide sliding doors seamlessly connect you with the tiered terracing outside. Up on the mezzanine level above the impeccably kept parquet floor of the hallway flows into a generous dining room where pretty patterned walls and a serving hatch lend ample charm. Equally suited for daily life or evenings with friends, it sits adjacent to a superbly sized double aspect kitchen/utility room fully fitted with vintage cabinetry and integrated appliances. The yellow tiles of accent walls add a playful pop of colour to either end of the room and whilst the layout creates a delineated utility area a side door makes it easy to step outside and venture into the gardens. A cloakroom completes the ground floor.

Explore further and you'll find upper split level galleried landings with plenty of opportunity to sit in front of a picture window and look out over the gardens. Four light and bright double bedrooms unfold around you producing an ideal measure of accommodation for a growing family and the flexibility to have a dedicated home office/study if needed. All four have a supremely calm and restful air and whilst the large main bedroom benefits from an en suite WC the others all have fitted wardrobe storage. Together they share a considerable family bathroom as well as separate shower room that's arranged in a fantastic retro tile setting.

Bordered by high walls and majestically tall trees the prodigious rear garden of this mid-century home generates a fabulous retreat from the world outside. Tranquil and classically English in its design, it gives you every excuse to step away from what you're doing and spend time in the fresh air and sunshine.

Tiered paved terracing engenders an easy flowing extension of the living room, providing a choice of spots to enjoy al fresco dining or the simple pleasure of an afternoon siesta in naturally beautiful surroundings. The elevated position gives the perfect vantage point to admire the garden that stretches out below you where the geometric shapes of hexagonal paving lead the way along an established long lawn to a fully enclosed glazed gazebo that sits tucked away in the dappled shade of statuesque trees.

At the front of the property a private driveway with attractive double gates combines with an attached double garage to supply off-road parking for several vehicles. Bordered by lovingly tended and planted raised flowerbeds, a long lawn and an abundance of leafy foliage it leads the way to broad paved steps up to the red brick facade of the house where crisp white shutters frame the windows and a glazed entrance porch gives a great introduction.
