7 bed detached house for sale

Woking, Surrey GU22

A handsome seven-bedroom residence offering exceptional family living in a tranquil sylvan setting, with glorious rural views and superb access to both Woking and Guildford.
Tucked away in one of Surrey’s most idyllic semi-rural locations, Elmcroft is a substantial family home of impressive proportions, set in mature, south-facing gardens and surrounded by scenic countryside.

Positioned opposite ancient woodland and backing directly onto open fields, this beautifully appointed property enjoys the peace and privacy of a rural lifestyle, while being under three miles from the vibrant centres of Woking and Guildford. In addition, it is just a short walk from Worplesdon Station, with direct trains to London Waterloo in around 30 minutes, stopping only at Woking. Guildford is just a few minutes away by train, making the home ideally situated for professionals commuting to London, Woking, or Guildford, and for families with children at school in Guildford who can travel independently.

The home extends across three spacious floors, offering a versatile layout ideal for modern family life. A generous gravel driveway offers ample parking and leads to a detached double garage, with the home framed by established planting and a charming climbing hydrangea.

Inside, the principal reception spaces are filled with natural light and designed to take full advantage of the glorious southerly outlook.

The elegant drawing room offers a sophisticated space for entertaining, while the family room opens directly into a bright conservatory, both enjoying uninterrupted views across the garden and beyond to the fields and woodland.

A large, well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room features solid oak cabinetry by Howdens and Maia composite worktops, with a sizeable utility room conveniently located to the rear.
Accommodation throughout the home is generous and thoughtfully arranged. All seven bedrooms are comfortable doubles, with built-in wardrobes featured in five of the first-floor bedrooms. Bedrooms 3,4, and 6 also benefit from the addition of their own washbasins, enhancing privacy and convenience for family members or guests.

Both the principal suite and guest bedroom include private en-suite bath/shower rooms. A feature vaulted staircase leads to the top floor, where a large additional bedroom, study or playroom provides valuable flexibility for growing families or multi-generational living.

In addition to the main residence, an adjoining office suite with kitchenette and WC offers a superb opportunity for a home business, studio, or future annex (subject to planning).

The south-facing garden is a true highlight – laid mainly to lawn and beautifully bordered by mature evergreens and ferns. The total plot extends to approximately one-third of an acre, offering ample space for family recreation, gardening, and outdoor entertaining.

A wide terrace provides the perfect setting for alfresco dining, while a charming arbour with trailing grapevine creates a delightful seating area for quieter moments. To one side, a greenhouse offers excellent space for cultivating plants and vegetables, and a garden shed is conveniently located near the rear entrance to the office.

Beyond the boundary, Prey Heath Common offers immediate access to nature, with miles of walking and cycling trails on the doorstep.
