4 bed detached house for sale

Compton, Guildford, Surrey GU3

Set within a picture perfect lodge house with quintessential fish scale tiles and beautiful stone work, the expansive layout of this exceptional period property has been carefully recreated into a hugely fluid contemporary home. Sitting harmoniously within the original bones of the building, a succession of light filled rooms combines with double height and vaulted ceilings to produce an enviable sense of space, while refined design themes offer a subtle feeling of luxury.

Filling your gaze with glorious views of the garden, twin sets of French doors in each of the main living spaces allow daily life to filter outside at every opportunity. Sophisticated yet still utterly homely, a wonderful sitting room gives you every chance to relax and spend quality time together. The tones of a wood floor lend warmth to the soft pale colour scheme, and whilst elegant cabinetry sits within a chimney breast alcove the working fireplace with its reflective burnished metal surround lends a traditional focal point.

Across the hallway the considered design of this home elevates from it others. Beneath a magnificent double height ceiling a voluminous kitchen/dining room stretches out before you generating an outstanding wow factor. With an abundance of light filtering in from high skylights and the industrial architecture of a steel staircase leading up to the galleried gantry landing above, this is somewhere that everyone will naturally gravitate towards at any time of the day or night.

The supreme kitchen is fully fitted with beautifully crafted wood and gloss cabinetry topped with black granite and finished with first class integrated appliances. A matching central island gives delineation to the open plan dimensions, while the French doors of the dining area make it irresistibly easy to enjoy al fresco entertaining. An adjoining utility room keeps laundry appliances hidden from view and gives easy access to the integral double garaging.

Follow the staircase up to the first floor and you’ll discover the exposed timber beams of an expansive lounge area and fitted gym with a tremendous vaulted ceiling. Superbly conceived and perfectly lit by a wealth of additional skylights with leafy vistas, this large open space produces a host of possibilities.
Explore further along the hallway on the ground floor and you’ll discover a peaceful study opening into a play room, while a bedroom and bathroom provide versatile accommodation for guests or multi-gen households.

A second staircase leads the way the up to the dedicated bedroom wing of the first floor where the tasteful aesthetics continue in each room. Three double bedrooms are ideal for a growing family and flexible to your needs, and whilst one has a discerning en suite cloakroom together they share a notable family shower room.

Tucked back from Priorsfield Road behind a sweeping gravel driveway and the foliage of majestically tall trees, this exemplary detached home instantly captures your imagination. The hung fish scale tiles, canopied entrance and traditional stone work of its double fronted facade retain a wealth of charm and character, while integral double garaging with ruby red doors sits beneath blackened timber cladding.
The abundance of greenery reaches around to the rear culminating in an enchanting south-west facing garden that lends an idyllic backdrop to the house.

Backing onto Priorswood and bordered by an immense array of mature trees and shrubs that prompt a cherished level of privacy and seclusion, an expansive lawn gives you every opportunity to take a leisurely stroll in the summer sun. Its commendable dimensions (c. 0.75 acres) easily accommodate children’s play area and dipping pool without encroaching on the English country garden feel.

The French doors of the sitting room and kitchen/dining room open up to connect you with a brilliantly broad patio framed by palm trees and flowering shrubs. Ideally sized this heavenly space gives a choice of spots to enjoy al fresco entertaining in the sunshine or to escape from the heat and dine in the dappled shade of a timber pergola with its elegant Wisteria vines. A curved path leads down to an orchard of fruit trees that enhance the tranquil feel further still, while a timber store room sits hidden from view.
