A beautiful semi-rural location that is rarely available. With circa 2.5 acres of south-facing land and gardens, Albury Farm offers a blissful countryside retreat on the edges of Chobham. Extending over a magnificent 4,524sq ft with a detached games room and double length garaging, this exceptional family home has a prodigious layout with a trio of reception rooms, an enviable conservatory and a spacious self-contained annexe that offers a huge degree of versatility.

Offering the peace and privacy of a blissfully secluded semi-rural location, Albury Farm sits hidden away from the hustle and bustle of daily life whilst being within easy reach of Chobham, Woking and commuter routes. Ideally placed for equestrian families, it sits tucked away from the leafy tree-lined setting of Gracious Pond Road and opens onto the tranquillity of south-facing gardens and grounds of circa 2.5 acres.

Painting a picture perfect introduction, a walled front garden with Box bordered beds leads the way to a quintessential red brick facade where an idyllic veranda stretches out before you. An abundance of leaded windows add to the charm while inside timber beams add a warming balance to the pared-back aesthetic of light filled rooms.

Unfolding from a wonderful central entrance hall where a classic fireplace adds an inviting welcome, a duo of reception rooms and an enviable conservatory conjure a choice of spaces in which to relax, unwind and entertain. With bay windows an impressively sized double aspect living room has the focal point of a wood burner within its fireplace. Oak clad beams extend overhead while French doors proffer a seamless interplay with the expansive south-facing terrace outside.

Producing an undeniable sense of calm and restfulness, the superior conservatory extends across 29ft 10 producing a peaceful escape from the hubbub of the day. Sympathetically designed with further ceiling beams, natural light tumbles in its glazed ceiling combining with wide windows to fill your gaze with the greenery outside while French doors give you the opportunity to filter out onto the terrace for a lazy afternoon siesta. A thoughtfully incorporated cloakroom sits discreetly to the side, while a selection of inner doors allow a dining room, family room and classic farmhouse kitchen to create a superbly fluid interconnecting layout.

Equally suited for family meals or evenings spent entertaining friends, the elegant dining room connects with the conservatory and kitchen, while the family room proffers a huge degree of flexibility for everyday life. Impeccably appointed the kitchen effortlessly generates a central hub pairing the rustic texture of an exposed brick wall with the timber tones of solid oak cabinetry topped with sleek black granite. A butler sink enhances the farmhouse feel, the considered layout has dedicated space for a range cooker and wrought iron cupboard handles demonstrate an attention to the smallest of details.

The elegant simplicity of the design scheme continues upstairs producing a notable sense of calm and cohesion. A collection of five generous bedrooms are ideally sized for modern family life and the semi-rural location lends a stunning backdrop to each and every one. Creating its own wing of the house, a notably large double aspect principal bedroom has tastefully chosen fitted wardrobes and a deluxe en suite with an inset bath and walk-in shower. Each of the additional four rooms produce plenty of flexibility for teenagers, infants or working from home and together share an equally stylish bathroom with the added convenience of twin basins.

Creating a host of possibilities, this exemplary home extends from the kitchen into an adjoining self-contained annexe that has the versatility to be tailored to your own lifestyle needs. With a superb flagstone floor underfoot and a beautiful beam overhead, a prodigious hallway with its own direct entrance retains a fantastic sense of heritage and history. Opening onto a recessed section of the terracing that has a courtyard feel, a duo of reception rooms echo the presentation of the main house. Both have brilliantly high ceilings, and whilst a spacious triple aspect room is finished with French doors the other has a quintessential split stable-style door. A study/bedroom has fitted wardrobes and rich indigo blue hues lend a dash of colour to the bathroom. Making life easy, a utility room sits to the rear of the entry hallway and is easily accessible from the main accommodation.

Outside
Designed to capitalise on idyllic vistas of the gardens and land, the French doors that pepper Albury Farm?s reception rooms and conservatory allow an expansive terrace to play an integral part of daily life. South-facing, secluded and spacious, it provides a hugely tranquil spot for al fresco dining or the simple pleasure of starting the day with a morning coffee. Blending harmoniously with the tree-lined landscape, the peaceful gardens generate a blissful rural idyll, stretching out before you prompting the excuse to take a break from a busy day and stroll into the adjoining fields. Flowerbeds fully stocked with classic cottage garden favourites frame extensive lawns, a timber pergola adds a shady space to recline in the summer sun and a charming low rail bridge curves over a pond enhancing the pastoral feel further still.

Adding the perfect finishing touch to these 2.5acre grounds, a detached triple aspect games room extends over a fabulous 30ft 5″ beneath the beams of a vaulted ceiling. Its mirrored wall cleverly bounces natural light around the space and a trio of doors open out onto the gardens.

A detached double length garage and additional carport with three bays combine with a substantial driveway to supply a wealth of private off-road parking.
