With a picturesque tree-lined gated driveway and a superb outdoor bar and swimming pool in secluded canalside gardens, Langmans Lodge instantly evokes a sense of calm and tranquillity.

Beautifully transformed by the current owners, this accomplished home pairs the handmade carpentry of solid wood window frames and doorways with exposed beams, glass framed balconies and the superior detailing of its interior design scheme. The interconnecting layout of the ground floor opens onto idyllic terracing at every opportunity, 3 of the 5 exemplary bedrooms have deluxe en suites and further key highlights include an attached garage.

Tucked away in the leafy canalside setting, Langmans Lodge has been lovingly transformed by the current owners. Once the detached garaging for a neighbouring Grade II listed home that dates back to 1540, today is proffers an enviable modern day lifestyle. Combining the peace and exclusivity of its location in a rarely available lane with the convenience of being within easy reach of the golf club, mainline station and town centre, this detached Woking home sits back behind a gated tree-lined driveway nestled within a wealth of greenery.

Respectful of the original architecture, a handsome double fronted red brick facade with a classic gabled entrance gives a first glimpse of the bespoke handmade joinery that features throughout with its timber framed leaded windows and solid wood doorway. Once inside you?ll find a beautifully fluid layout of interconnecting reception rooms flowing from a reception hall and extending out into the canalside gardens.

Double aspect and impeccably styled, an outstanding living room is at once both sophisticated and homely. Filled with light and garden vistas, its excellent dimensions blend French grey hues with the feature fern patterns of an accent wall. A superior Invicta wood burning stove with its striking Oracle design lends a genuine focal point whether or not it?s in use, while French doors open to allow daily life to filter seamlessly out onto the terrace.

Subtly enhancing the flow of natural light further still, inner glazed double doors connect this inviting space with a spacious triple aspect kitchen/dining room that fills your gaze with the greenery outside. The clean lines of the considerably large kitchen offer a hugely sleek contemporary feel with a tasteful combination of cool cream and smoky grey handleless cabinetry and granite countertops. A recessed coffee station has been thoughtfully incorporated, and whilst a bank of four integrated Neff ovens is perfect for both daily life and entertaining on a grand scale, a superb central island with extensive bar stool seating gives definition to the open plan layout. Sitting to the rear in front of an expanse of timber framed windows, the generous dining area is somewhere that everyone will naturally gravitate towards at any time of the day or night. Generating an easy flowing connection between the living room and gardens its bi-fold doors pull back letting the terrace become an integral part of the space. A separate utility room and cloakroom sit discreetly out of sight.

Upstairs a central hallway unfolds onto a series of five bedrooms ideal for a growing family. Bathed in light from a double height wall of glazing, the principal bedroom conjures a wonderfully calm and restful retreat. Below apex windows French doors entice you out onto a glass framed balcony with a frosted privacy panel and views of the river and garden. A wall of Shaker wardrobes supplies ample storage without encroaching on the aesthetic and leafy patterns of a feature wall have been chosen to give the appearance of hanging from one of the exposed timber beams stretching out beneath the vaulted ceiling. Air conditioning keeps things cool in the summer months and an exemplary en suite lends a deluxe finishing touch.

Ideal for teenagers, two additional double bedrooms have en suite shower rooms and Juliet balconies, while one admirably sized double room and one single room have the versatility to become a dedicated home office or play room if preferred. Together these notable rooms share a luxury family bathroom with an elegant freestanding roll top bath, an indulgently broad walk-in waterfall shower and the focal point of a Roca Urban London countertop basin.

Bordered by the magnificent height of tall trees set within raised timber framed grounds, the prodigious gated gravel driveway of Langmans Lodge gives a coveted sense of distance from the world outside. Sweeping you down to the picture perfect facade of the house, it combines with attached garaging to supply a considerable measure of secure off-road parking.

Encompassed by an abundance of leafy foliage and reaching down alongside the canal, the idyllic rear garden effortlessly lets the hubbub of a busy day melt away. Equally suited for those who love to entertain and those who prefer to relax and unwind, this tranquil space offers something for everyone. Beneath the boughs of a statuesque tree a secluded decked terrace is ideally sized for al fresco dining or lazy afternoons.

A high quality astro turf lawn gives children a chance to play and a raised outdoor swimming pool is something that all ages will appreciated. However, sitting in dappled shade to the rear, it is perhaps a first class outdoor bar that steals the show. Fully powered, timber built and with a large fitted bar area, it easily accommodates a duo of sofas and a wall-hung TV. With the addition of a decked barbeque area to its side, this is a great place for sports fans to sit back in style, enjoy family get-togethers or celebrate moments in life.
