Offering the peace and tranquillity of circa half an acre of secluded landscaped gardens whilst being only a stroll from the central hubbub of Woking and its main line Railway Station, Calderstones is a superior detached residence that's been beautifully re-envisaged by the current owners. Effortlessly generating an enviable lifestyle, its extended layout unfolds over 3771sq ft pairing a sense of classic elegance with bespoke contemporary design. Five double bedrooms and four deluxe bathrooms/en suites are ideal for family life, two excellent reception rooms and an office give a huge degree of flexible living space, and a magnificent open plan Neptune kitchen/dining/living room connects with first class terracing.
Instantly offering an air of exclusivity, Calderstones sits tucked back from the greenery of White Rose Lane behind a prodigious gravel driveway. Beautifully extended and recreated by the current owners, its carefully curated aesthetics start with the tasteful architecture of its double fronted facade and continue throughout a naturally flowing layout that has the capability to give you a self-contained annexe if needed. From the matte black frames of its glazing to the waterborne underfloor heating of the ground floor, every aspect demonstrates an attention to detail, resulting in a wonderful sense of quiet luxury.
Step inside from the Art Deco inspired porch and you'll find the timber tones of Karndean, oak and original 1950s wood floors blending with a warm neutral palette throughout a succession of light filled rooms. Glazed oak framed double doors open from the large entrance hall with its original 1950s wood floor into a magnificent open plan space that instantly fills your gaze with the colour and landscaping of the gardens. Spacious and hugely sociable, it's easy to see that this kitchen/dining/living room is far more than the sum of its parts. Supremely well appointed, the first class Neptune kitchen is fully fitted with beautifully crafted bespoke solid wood cabinetry topped with sleek white granite. Designed to offer every convenience, a superior detailing includes a Villeroy & Boch ceramic double sink, an integrated Miele dishwasher, Falcon range cooker, warming drawer and large Fisher & Paykel fridge freezer. An impressive island with bar stool seating gives delineation to the space adding the perfect spot to sit and catch up on the day's events over a glass of wine while you cook, and the large formal dining area is illuminated by a matching row of hanging pendants. With natural light tumbling down from an extensive glazed roof, the brilliantly broad living area adds the ideal place to unwind with the weekend papers. An expanse of bi-fold doors supply a seamless connection with the terracing and gardens, making it effortlessly easy for daily life to filter out into the sunshine at every opportunity. An adjoining utility room keeps laundry appliances hidden from view.
The sense of space continues in a trio of reception rooms that give you every excuse to relax, work or entertain. Beneath the stunning roof lantern of a vaulted ceiling, an exceptional sitting room with an oak floor offers a calm and restful haven from the world outside. A wall of sliding doors allows the gardens to become an easy flowing extension of the already considerable proportions, while a contemporary Stuv log burner adds a warming focal point in the winter months. An additional large family room provides further chance to spend time together and an office has the versatility to cater to your own needs as a snug or playroom.
Integral double garaging is accessed via the family room and a ground floor double bedroom and stylish bathroom provide plenty of options for guests, multi-generational living or a self-contained annexe.
The cohesive presentation is echoed upstairs where four additional double bedrooms with garden vistas pepper the first floor producing a wealth of flexible family accommodation. A double aspect principal bedroom has tastefully chosen fitted Strachan wardrobes and the luxury of a sleek en suite with underfloor heating, a round freestanding bathtub and a walk-in Matki shower. It benefits from beautifully private views of the garden throughout each and every season.
Teenagers will love the second double bedroom with its smart en suite shower room, while together the remaining two rooms share a luxury family bathroom with a walk-in shower and fabulous contemporary freestanding slipper bath.
It's good to note that the meticulous design of the property's extended layout was generated to minimise the shadow in the garden with the ground floor being larger than the footprint of the first floor. A fully insulated loft with notable head height has scope to be converted (STPP).
Set within the seclusion of capacious grounds and gardens of circa half an acre, Calderstones engenders a peaceful oasis whilst being within a walk from all that Woking has to offer. The black framed bi-fold and sliding doors of the ground floor pull back to allow impeccably landscaped gardens become a natural extension of the house. Framed by an abundance of heavenly high leafy borders that lend a cherished degree of privacy, its prodigious lawns stretch out before you while tiers of landscaped terracing provides a choice of spots to enjoy al fresco entertaining on a grand scale.
At the front of the property a considerable gravel and block paved driveway with an electric power point combines with integral double garaging to produce a wealth of private off-road parking. The walls of the garaging are double skinned and both the full measure of the ceiling and the automated door are insulated.
A short distance away is Woking Mainline Railway Station frequently serving Waterloo (from 24 mins), the South Coast from Portsmouth through to Exeter, and express coach service to Heathrow Airport Terminal 5 (25-30mins). There is also easy access to the M25, M3 and A3 providing links to Heathrow, Gatwick & London City Airports.
Woking has a thriving town centre offering extensive shopping, dining and leisure facilities including The New Victoria Theatre & Cinema, and the Lightbox Gallery. For golfers there is a choice of clubs including, Woking Golf Club (one of the oldest in the U.K. founded in 1893), Westhill, Hoebridge, Worplesdon, Chobham and Foxhills (including spa and hotel). Both the Basingstoke Canal and the River Wey are close by for walking, cycling and fishing (permit required), whilst nearby Chobham and Horsell Common are a National Nature Reserve.
The area is well served by both state and private schools including nearby Hoebridge, St Andrews, Greenfield, Halstead, Woking High School, St Dunstan's, Hoe Valley and St John the Baptist School.
