Smarts Heath Road, Woking - Sold STC

Once the gatehouse to the historic Crastock Manor, this property, nestled amidst expansive parklands, offers a unique charm. Originally constructed as workers' cottages in 1930, it now stands as a spacious and luminous dwelling on a generous plot with captivating views.

Surrounded by solid stone paving, the rear of the property provides a serene setting for social gatherings. In 2010, an architect redesigned the house into a four-bedroom (with potential for five) sustainable haven. The blend of old-world charm, evident in brick fireplace surrounds, a cast iron stove and modern amenities creates an inviting ambiance throughout.

The ground floor features an expansive open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area, bathed in natural light from large patio windows overlooking the picturesque gardens. The kitchen boasts white cabinetry with black granite countertops and top-of-the-line appliances. Three contemporary bathrooms add to the overall appeal.

An annex set-up with an en-suite shower provides privacy for a young adult or older family member.

Upstairs, the main bedroom is part of a suite with a sitting room, terrace and spiral staircase to the garden, offering panoramic views of meadows. An en-suite bathroom and a spacious walk-in wardrobe complete the retreat. Alternatively, this space could be transformed into a fifth bedroom.

The meticulously landscaped south-facing garden maximizes width and scenic views, with meadows and oak woodland providing a haven for wildlife. Features such as social seating areas, a first-floor terrace, rock gardens, raised beds, palm trees, and automated lighting enhance the outdoor experience.

The house has a focus on sustainability with good insulation, solar panels and rainwater harvesting.
