5 bed detached house for sale

Worplesdon Hill, Surrey GU22

Set within a tranquil and private 2.25-acre plot on one of Worplesdon Hill’s most prestigious roads, Hunters End is a handsome Tarrant-built home offering immense character, period charm, and an exciting opportunity to modernise and enhance this rare residence.

Accessed via a gated driveway from Heath House Road, with a further secondary access driveways from Rough Road to the rear, the property sits well back from the road, framed by mature trees, rhododendrons and established gardens. Its distinctive Tarrant architecture is evident on arrival, with its pitched rooflines, elegant brick, render and tile-hung elevations with generous windows.

Once inside, you are greeted by a spacious and welcoming entrance hall, with its original staircase and period details that continue throughout this much-loved family home. The ground floor offers a wonderful balance of spacious entertaining rooms and more informal family spaces. A bright double-aspect drawing room enjoys views over the gardens and features a beautiful original fireplace. Adjacent, the dining room is equally spacious with high ceilings and an elegant bay window, making it perfect for hosting formal dinners.

The kitchen/breakfast room, though dated, is a superb space. Beyond lies a useful utility and laundry room, with plenty of scope to create a more modern, open-plan family living space that overlooks the gardens.

The elegant staircase rises to a generous first-floor landing, off which four well-proportioned bedrooms enjoy views across the gardens. The principal suite benefits from its own dressing room (formerly bedroom five) and en-suite bathroom, while the remaining bedrooms share a spacious family bathroom. Many period features are retained throughout, including picture rails, original fireplaces, and leaded windows.
