Holly Bank Road, Hook Heath, Woking, Surrey, GU22

Sitting discreetly back from the leafy greenery of one of Hook Heath’s premier roads, Danesfield House offers a tranquil setting whilst also being only moments from the hubbub of central Woking and the Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. Dating back to the early 1900s, today it is an utterly stunning example of an exceptional family home. With its beautiful south-east facing gardens, three excellent reception rooms and bespoke kitchen/breakfast room, it offers an abundance of tastefully styled contemporary living space. A marvellous principal bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe area and deluxe en suite, while a self-contained one bedroom annexe sits above the detached garage. There is also an already permitted planning application should you want to enlarge the property.

Step Inside

The beautifully planted frontage of Danesfield House instantly creates an enchanting introduction to this early 1900s Hook Heath property. A sweeping driveway leads the way to the double fronted facade with its climbing Wisteria, while a charming covered doorway hints at the rich heritage of this period home.

Generating a refined yet homely feel, an excellent central hallway gives a great introduction to the sense of space that lies within. Contemporary yet elegant, its heritage palette echoes the refined colour scheme that flows throughout, while its wood floor extends into three exceptional reception rooms.
Double aspect and supplying a wealth of space in which to relax and entertain, both the main reception room and formal dining room are beautifully lit by leaded bay windows. A wonderful working fireplace lends a cosy yet distinguished focal point to the large main reception room, while across the hallway an additional large family room has a huge degree of flexibility to cater to your own lifestyle needs. With the versatility to be a home office or study if needed, its generous dimensions lead into the bespoke kitchen/breakfast room to create a highly fluid feel. Superbly appointed with the rich tones of solid wood cabinets and sleek black countertops, the outstanding kitchen is design to accommodate a first class range cooker. Its wrap-around layout provides ample storage and workspace, and while a matching central island subtly delineates the space, bi-fold doors in the breakfast area make it easy to step outside and enjoy a peaceful morning coffee beneath the dappled shade of a vine covered pergola. With space for an American-style fridge freezer, a large utility room is fully fitted and keeps laundry appliances hidden out of sight. A cloakroom completes the ground floor.

Natural light tumbles in over the central staircase through more of those picture perfect leaded windows and filters through the first floor where four notably sized bedrooms continue the cohesive interior design themes. Stretching out across the full depth of this wonderful family home, a superb principal bedroom is a peaceful retreat and offers a touch of luxury with a fabulous en suite shower room. A fitted wardrobe area supplies prized storage without encroaching on the aesthetics of the room, and deep eaves cupboards have further capacity for luggage, memorabilia or even Christmas decorations. A double aspect second bedroom benefits from an en suite shower room of its own, making it ideal perhaps for teenagers in search of their own sense of privacy, while the two equally impressive additional rooms share a tremendous family bathroom that combines wood panelled walls and a walk-in shower with a heritage suite that has a bidet and bath.

A gracefully tall tree sits centrally within the established long lawn drawing your eye to the wonderful array of colour and greenery that adds such a pleasing backdrop to this Hook Heath home.
