Peacefully sequestered on a private gravel lane, Gate House evokes a magnificent degree of grace and grandeur. Set within beautifully planted capacious grounds and gardens of 2 acres, detached garaging, tennis court and exemplary outdoor swimming pool, it offers picturesque vistas and an enviable degree of exclusivity and seclusion but within the heart of the village of Pirbright. Unfolding over a commendable 4447 sq ft, a hugely fluid three storey layout has a refined pared-back aesthetic. Spacious reception rooms have feature fireplaces, a study is impeccably appointed, and a tremendous kitchen/breakfast room unites with a stunning family room to create something incredibly special.
Hidden from view on Burrow Hill, Gate House instantly engenders a wonderful feeling of exclusivity but with all the convenience of sitting in the heart of the popular village of Pirbright. Dating back from the early 1900's with only three other houses on the road, originally built for daughters of a local gentleman. Framed by statuesque trees, a sweeping turning circle driveway gives a grand introduction to admire the elegance and charm of an extensive facade. Step inside and you'll find the soft subtle warmth flowing throughout a spacious layout, beautifully enhancing the elegance of its architecture and creating an impeccable home.
Behind a gabled entrance a tremendous entrance hall hints at what's to come and gives an instant glimpse of the glorious gardens that stretch out to rear. It unfolds to either side onto two marvellous reception rooms with wonderful focal point fireplaces. To the left a spacious triple aspect sitting room provides a supremely tranquil place to relax and unwind with French doors giving every excuse to step out onto the terracing.
Equally admirable, across the hall a formal dining room is resplendent in red. The laurel wreath patterns complement the brass fittings of tastefully chosen wall lights, while a striking central pendant allows the generous proportions to double as an exceptional pool/games room after dinner.
A separate study is notably appointed with a wealth of beautifully crafted oak cabinetry creating a superior environment when working from home and a sophisticated retreat to escape at the end of a busy day.
However, it is undoubtedly the fluid and highly considered collaboration of the kitchen/breakfast room and family room that creates the heart and hub of this Pirbright home. The open plan layout produces a naturally flowing space to spend time together. Superbly appointed with sleek cream cabinets encased in the rich timber tones of solid wood waterfall countertops, the kitchen achieves the fine balance of being both stylish and functional. A bank of floor to ceiling storage houses a trio of first class ovens, integrated fridge freezer and a gas hob sits under a ceiling mounted extractor. The wrap-around design allows you to be an integral part of what's going on around you when cooking, while cleverly incorporated recessed shelving adds discreet space for your favourite recipe books.
The polished tiled floor reaches cohesively into both the double aspect breakfast area and a heavenly family room that extends out beneath a majestic vaulted ceiling with apex windows. French doors in each zone once again connect you seamlessly with the terracing making it irresistibly easy to step outside and take a stroll to the pool or tennis court.
A large utility room and two separate cloakrooms complete the ground floor.
With natural light tumbling in from above, a quintessential turning staircase heads gently upstairs where an abundance of outstanding double bedrooms pepper the first and second storeys and continue the exquisite design themes that elevate this home from others. A prized principal bedroom with west and south facing vistas stretches decadently across one wing of the house. A fitted dressing room provides an enviable measure of storage without encroaching on the plentiful main bedroom area, and a sumptuous en suite has both a contemporary bathtub and glass framed shower. Three further first floor bedrooms include one with a deluxe en suite of its own, while a stylish family shower room looks out over the gardens. Explore further and you'll find a top floor landing that is ideally sized to accommodate a desk/play area. Two interconnecting bedrooms provide a wealth of versatility for teenagers to have their own sense of space, and an exemplary bathroom offers the height of luxury with an indulgent rainfall wet room shower and bathtub in a seriously sultry tile setting.

Step out from any number of French doors onto landscaped decked and paved terracing that engenders and easy flowing extension of the ground floor. Sit back, relax, unwind or entertain while you admire the halcyon gardens that stretch out before you. And from every window to the front of the property follow your gaze across the fields onto the historic steeple of the local church.
Bountiful borders of mature grasses curve around lending dashes of colour and majestically tall trees and hedgerows give both seclusion and delineation to scattered seating spaces. To the side, the lawns tempt you down to a swimming pool framed by purple fountain grass where a further decked terrace is a sublime place to recline after a dip and a timber clad pool house sits in the dappled shade. The pool house is currently doubling up as a cinema and golf studio, but would also make an ideal home office. Offering a blissful backdrop, the capacious lawns flow further still at the front of the property, taking you to a further acre of land with an enclosed tennis court that adds the perfect finishing touch.
To the front of the house two garages combine with the driveway to give off-road parking to numerous vehicles, one of which has an upper level that provides handy additional storage.
Pirbright Village is a semi-rural setting which serves all walks of life. The property sits in the heart of the village and is only a short stroll of the two local pubs, the village green, thriving primary school, GP surgery, chemist and the nearby common. Brookwood train line offers a frequent fast train into London Waterloo (30 mins) three trains per hour, and is only a 0.8 mile walk away. By road the property sits 5 miles to Woking 6 miles to Guildford.
