Detached house for sale in Hockering Estate, Woking, Surrey GU22

Nestled within a breathtakingly beautiful setting of grounds and gardens of circa 0.66 acres, Weavers conjures a sense of elegance from a bygone age. Exuding an unmistakable amount of charm it sits blissfully tucked away in The Hockering, a private gated estate created in the early 1900s by W. G. Tarrant the renowned master builder of the Wentworth Estate. As one of the original homes, today it retains an immense measure of its grace and grandeur whilst also offering an abundance of quiet luxury that emanates a subtle sense of calm and cohesion.

Carefully curated and looking out onto the greenery of enviably private gardens from picture perfect casement windows, the tasteful aesthetics that flow throughout blend harmoniously with the original architecture. Filled with light the natural flow of its spacious layout unfolds from a wonderful central entrance hall onto 4099sq ft.

Beneath the inspired addition of a glazed vaulted ceiling a superb double aspect sitting room produces an outstanding space in which to relax and entertain. The rich timber tones of its wood floor complement a heritage palette, a working fireplace creates a traditional focal point and while window seats proffer a peaceful spot to sit and admire your surroundings French doors connect you with the secluded terracing. Charming bay windows in the adjacent family and dining rooms offer further vantage points to enjoy the idyllic vistas, and whilst the tastefully modern family room is a great place to spend time together, the formal dining room transports you back in time with its exposed ceiling beams, distinguished panelling and quintessential fireplace. A stylish contemporary fitted study sits peacefully away from the reception rooms for a cherished work/life balance.

With views that take in the gardens and swimming pool, across the entrance hall the pared-back aesthetics continue in a stunning kitchen/breakfast room where dual sets of French doors give daily life every opportunity to filter out in to the summer sun. The considerable breakfast room with its feature alcove seating is equally suited for family meals or evenings entertaining friends and flows fluidly into a first class kitchen where the considered expanse of glazing stretches up to a further vaulted ceiling. Supremely well appointed, its sleek cabinetry is topped with granite and designed to accommodate a range cooker and an American style fridge freezer. A matching central island with a waterfall countertop and bar stool overhang gives delineation to the open plan layout, while sofa space beneath the apex windows gives you the excuse to sit with a glass of wine and catch up on the day’s events while you cook. An adjoining fitted utility room with side access keeps laundry appliances hidden from view, and a ground floor cloakroom sits discreetly back from the entrance hall.

With natural light tumbling down from each of the galleried landings above, the sweeping curve of a classic turning staircase gently guides you upstairs where the consistent design themes are echoed throughout six exceptional double bedrooms. Solid oak banisters with charming heart detailing give a rich warming contrast to the plush carpeting that runs cohesively underfoot, while marvellously large casement windows allow the gardens to add a picturesque backdrop at every turn.

Commendably sized and styled, four large bedrooms and three deluxe bath/shower rooms, with sumptuous suites that have roll top baths and waterfall showers, pepper the first floor giving everyone their own sense of space and luxury. Upstairs on the top floor two equally impressive bedrooms include one with an en suite shower room and generate the option of having a TV room or study if needed.

Set within the tranquillity and seclusion of capacious grounds and gardens of 0.66 acres Weavers is perfectly placed in The Hockering to create its own wonderful semi-rural idyll whilst still being in a central Woking location. Tucked back from Danes Hill this prestigious home is sequestered by extensive wrap-around lawns framed by the evergreen foliage of gloriously high hedging, majestically tall trees and statuesque conifers. It benefits from detached double garaging that has bi-fold doors, direct garden access and its own separate entrance to the grounds from Clear Down.

The French doors of the kitchen/breakfast room and sitting room entice you onto elegant terracing for al fresco dining, the simplicity of restful summer afternoons or a last glass of wine while watching the sun go down. An outdoor swimming pool and paved patio lend a tremendous destination on hot sunny days, and a brick built summer house is heavenly hideaway with a good book or the weekend papers.

Weavers is situated in the highly regarded area of South Woking, just minutes from Woking Town Centre and train station. Woking is a thriving town and is subject to much improvement and investment. It currently provides a full range of shopping, leisure and cultural amenities.
