Detached house for sale in Westwood Road, Windlesham GU20

As the wrought iron security gates open on to the gravelled driveway it quickly becomes obvious that this is a very special home indeed. The current owner became the latest custodian of this charming home some 24 years ago and has clearly loved and cared for it. The property has been very carefully extended and thoughtfully refurbished with great care and attention to detail. The most recent work being the stunning Tom Howley kitchen/breakfast room fitted last year, incorporating beautiful work surfaces with Sub Zero and Wolf appliances. The accommodation plan in the house would work very well for a large family with the 5 reception rooms giving an opportunity for everyone to find their own space and the kitchen/breakfast room acting as the ‘hub’ for family life. Upstairs the principal suite is certainly noteworthy with an impressive bedroom overlooking the rear garden, a fine bathroom and fitted dressing room. Another bedroom close by, is currently used as a second dressing room and again has been professionally fitted with solid wood units. The nature of this plot means that all rooms have super views of very mature gardens in all directions.
The additional accommodation here is also perfect for family life. There is a generous flat above the detached triple garage, another building houses an excellent gym with wooden floor and mirrored wall so could work well as a studio for other activities. The first class indoor pool complex houses a large tiled swimming pool with separate hot tub recess along with changing/shower room and sauna. Set to the rear of the plot is a home office with kitchenette and WC alongside a machine store for the gardeners.

Outside

Without doubt, one of the most important features here is the amazing garden that surrounds the house on all sides. Fox Hollow is steeped in horticultural history having originally been a world glass heather nursery. There is now a huge variety of mature shrubs and specimen trees that provide almost complete privacy from the road and neighbours. A great deal of planning has gone into the planting here to encourage a wide array of colours throughout the year which contrast beautifully with the immaculate lawns that run from the sun terrace down to the pond. In all the plot is just under 2.25 acres.
