Clodhouse Hill, Worplesdon Hill, Surrey, GU22

Simply sensational. Occupying a beautifully landscaped 2 acre secure gated setting, adjacent to the greens of Worplesdon’s West Hill Golf Club, this striking modernist home represents a stunning example of domestic architecture.

Demonstrating an exacting approach to light and space, it balances a refined palette of minimalist clean lines and the warmth and texture of timber within voluminous light filled spaces. Glass walls connect the magnificent kitchen/dining room and sitting room with wrap-around terracing, and a glorious wine room and detached gym are just a few of the notable inclusions that elevate this five bedroom home further still.

Enviably situated in a gated location that affords a coveted measure of exclusivity, the striking contemporary facade of Deerswood lends an impactful first impression. The landscaped terracing of extensive gardens full of flora and fauna wraps-around its prodigious footprint blending seamlessly with magnificent living spaces via glass walls of capacious sliding doors.

Generating a commendable generosity of space, an inspiring central entrance hall sits beneath a double height ceiling and offers an immediate indication of the fluidity of the accommodation that flows around you. From the steel framed doorways and light reflecting cool white walls to the warm tones of its flooring, every aspect sets the tone for the cohesive design themes that feature throughout.

Beautifully framed by a duo of floor to ceiling windows looking out onto the gardens, a focal point wood burner sits atop a log store against feature timber panels giving a fabulous introduction to the triple aspect sitting room. Demonstrating an understanding of light and space, this is a supremely calming and restful room that’s overarched by the industrial grey of a central lighting strip that flows down the opposing wall to subtly accommodate a recessed TV/media unit. Wide sliding doors entice you out onto the terracing effortlessly engendering an easy flowing extension of this hugely sociable space, while the commendable dimensions lead into a spectacular kitchen/dining room that is quite simply breathtaking.

Magnificently composed to allow the natural beauty of the garden to add a blissful backdrop, the exceptional kitchen/dining room offers a master class in interior and architectural design. Compellingly stylish yet continuing the graceful minimalist aesthetic that echoes throughout, it is a captivating place to spend together either as a family or when entertaining friends. The expanse of wrap-around glazing allows natural light to filter in via majestically sized double aspect sliding doors forming a seamless connection with the terracing. They make it irresistibly easy to step outside and relax in the summer sun. Perfectly illuminated by a high roof lantern the superior kitchen is appointed with a full height wall of handle-less cabinets housing an exceptional array of integrated appliances. However it is perhaps the sweeping curve of the extensive island that captures and holds your attention. Deftly delineating the room, the driftwood facade of this fantastic centrepiece adds texture to the sleekness of the cabinetry while the considered upstands carefully conceal cooking implements from view. The rich tones of a feature timber wall contrast and complement those of the sitting room, while glass double doors open into an enviable first class wine room that is fully fitted to both display and accommodate your collection – a stunning yet sophisticated addition to an exemplary space that has ample capacity for both a formal dining area and additional breakfast/coffee table. A further larder and utility area are discreetly positioned behind the kitchen out of sight.

Across the hallway a large games room with a roof lantern of its own is ideally sized for a pool table, while a study is a peaceful retreat when working from home. Ideal for guests or multigenerational households, two ground floor bedrooms each have deluxe en suites, and a notable cloakroom is arranged in a tumbled stone tile setting.

Follow the open treads of an oak and steel staircase upstairs and you’ll find two impeccable double bedroom suites continuing the commendable design themes of this Worplesdon home. Whilst each looks out over the verdant colours of the garden, French doors in the hallway open onto the rooftop enhancing the feeling of light and space and giving an admirable vantage point to admire your surroundings.

Deerswood sits tucked away within the tranquillity of a prized cul de sac with only a select few homes that unite to form an exclusive enclave. Within gated grounds and gardens that both rival and complement the modernist architecture of its design, it is a sublime escape from the hubbub of the world outside.

Secure gates sweep open onto a gravel driveway giving the first full glimpse the white rendered ground floor with its copious anthracite framed windows, while the second floor sits atop encased in oak cladding that has the appearance of flowing seamlessly down to frame the entrance.

Paved terracing wraps its way around the house extending the commendable footprints of the living spaces and producing an abundance of opportunity to enjoy al fresco dining or to simply sit back, relax and unwind. Stretching out before you the stripes of an expansive raised lawn draw your eye to the profusion of statuesque trees and flowering shrubs that lend a heavenly backdrop whilst also supplying a coveted measure of privacy and seclusion. Take a stroll beneath their boughs and you’ll find your own personal direct access to the greens of West Hill Golf Club, or simply recline in the summer sun and soak up the vibrant array of colours that frame these halcyon grounds.

Adding a Mediterranean feel, perfectly placed Cypress trees border the driveway leading the way to the considered arrangement of a detached outbuilding with double garaging, external fitted log stores, store room and gym. All of which is beautifully lit by night by the recessed lights of its considerable overhang.

An additional external store room is accessed from the roof of the house.
