Calling all golf enthusiasts. A fantastic opportunity to acquire this beautiful Arts & Crafts home situated directly backing on to the prestigious Worplesdon golf course. 'The Rough' dates back to the 1920's. Whilst the decor and fittings are
dated, the expansive footprint allows for the ideal blank canvas to create a spacious family home styled to your own tastes with refurbishment that could easily be done over time.
Secluded and set back from the road with an extensive driveway, the magnificent proportions of the house retain a wealth of charm and character with original period features such as parquet flooring and quarry tiles.
The notable proportions of the reception rooms, with superb bay windows and elegant fireplaces, give an instant indication of the space this home has to offer. The subtle period detailing adds to the charm of this 1920s residence and creates a sophisticated level of accommodation to entertain or simply unwind.
Beautifully light and bright throughout, the rear receptions (including the formal bayed dining room) open out onto the broad south west facing terrace. The mature gardens make it easy to step outside and relax in the sun with the weekend papers. You will immediately notice the excellent potential to extend and enlarge the already admirable space.
Further ground floor accommodation includes the kitchen, utility, butler's pantry and store, giving a glance to a bygone era. This presents a fantastic opportunity to be updated, re arrangedor extended to become a well-appointed contemporary space with an enviable amount of storage and versatility. There is also a generously proportioned cloak room and w/c which complete the
ground floor.
The charm and character continues upstairs on the first floor where five bedrooms provide ideal family accommodation, and whilst the impressively sized principal bedroom adds a peaceful retreat at the end of the day, each room benefits from lovely vistas of the surrounding greenery and views. Two family bathrooms, a separate shower room and en suite bathroom can all once again be transformed to suit your own tastes.
A further staircase leads to the top floor with bedroom six and a large walk in loft room. This space would make an ideal children's play room with large bay window and good ceiling height.
Encompassed by the breath-taking and hugely tranquil gardens that wrap-around you there is a great amount of privacy and seclusion on offer. From the large york stone terrace, beautifully planted flowerbeds and established lawns, these abundant secluded grounds have something for everyone. The far rear of the garden offers panoramic views out to the 12th and 13th hole of Worplesdon Hill Golf Course.
The driveway offers convenient off-road parking for several vehicles, plenty of turning space and two garages.
Brookwood mainline station is a mile away, while Worplesdon and Woking stations are 1 ½ and 3 miles away respectively offering a fast train (26-minute) service into London Waterloo.
