With the beauty and tranquillity of capacious south-facing gardens lending a halcyon backdrop, Danes Cross offers the peace and prestige of a discreet location within one of Woking's most coveted private roads. Hidden from view behind a sweeping gravel driveway, a wonderful three storey layout retains an immense measure of original features generating an undeniable degree of charm that sparks the imagination and transports you back in time. From the plethora of exposed timber beams, magnificent fireplaces and leaded windows to the grace and elegance of an exceptional turning circle, is at once both distinguished yet homely.
Nestled within a breathtakingly beautiful setting of grounds and gardens, Danes Cross conjures a sense of elegance from a bygone age. Exuding an unmistakable amount of charm it sits peacefully tucked away hidden from view in a prized private road behind the statuesque trees and abundant foliage that frame its sweeping pillared driveway. Filled with light, the natural flow of its layout has the versatility to cater to your own needs. Sympathetically presented throughout with a wealth of original features, the main accommodation unfolds over a magnificent 3681sq ft and has the added bonus of a cellar.
Behind the oak door of a distinguished façade, an enclosed reception hall serves as an impressive hint of what's to come. With its soft subtle palette, it opens onto a hallway which immediately draws your gaze to an arched leaded doorway that tempts you out into the glorious south-facing gardens. Offering an instant wow factor, a simply enchanting and spacious drawing room effortlessly captures your imagination. Beneath the exposed beams of its ceiling natural light tumbles in via picture perfect double aspect windows offering wonderful vistas. Demi wood panelled walls enhance the rich warmth and texture of the beams and floor, while a simply superb brick fireplace is a majestic focal point. This is an exceptional place in which to relax and entertain.
Equally refined, the adjacent formal dining room looks out onto the courtyard the views of which are echoed from a marvellous kitchen. Superbly appointed with sympathetically styled traditional cabinets housing an array of first class integrated appliances, its elegant presentation reflects the heritage of the house and engenders a sociable feel with a central island and ample space for a breakfast table within the curve of its bay windows. A side door makes it easy to step outside and enjoy a glass of wine or morning coffee within the west-facing courtyard. A convenient cloakroom completes the ground floor.
Perfectly encapsulating the heritage and elegance of this Pond Road home, a beautifully illuminated turning staircase invites you to explore upstairs. Producing a commendable amount of flexible family and guest accommodation, six double bedrooms stretch out over the extensive upper two storeys peppered with period fireplaces. Whilst all have more than generous proportions, two enviably spacious rooms proffer a choice of being your principal bedroom. Whilst a marvellous double aspect bedroom on the first floor combines the charm of a feature fireplace with refined heritage hues and a wood floor, a commodious split level one on the top floor extends to an admirable 33ft and has access to expansive store rooms that lend a host of possibilities. Ideal perhaps for teenagers, a first floor bedroom has an en suite shower room, and two family bathrooms and a separate WC are ideal for any busy household.
Outside
Sitting back from the leafy surrounds of Pond Road, Dane Cross immediately engenders a feeling of seclusion and exclusivity with its hugely private and utterly mesmerising grounds and gardens.
Framed by bountiful foliage of tall trees and fully stocked borders a tremendous south-west facing lawn reaches out before you make it irresistibly easy to fall in love at first sight. Together with the tranquillity of a classically landscaped walled garden with exemplary planting, these quintessential English gardens produce a heavenly wealth of truly idyllic outdoor space. A traditional terrace gives the ultimate vantage point to admire your surroundings, and when it comes to taking a stroll in the summer sun you are truly spoilt for choice.
To the side, a superbly sized walled west-facing courtyard lends an almost Mediterranean feel and produces a potentially perfect place for al fresco dining beneath festoons of solar lighting.
At the front of the property, a substantial gravel driveway combines with detached garaging to provide you with private off-road parking for numerous vehicles.
