5 bed property for sale

The Street, Wonersh, Guildford GU5

Tankards is an exceptional Grade II listed home of rare character, situated in the heart of Wonersh and offered for sale for the first time in over sixty years. Dating from the 17th century and subsequently extended to the rear, the property blends historic charm with exciting scope for modernisation and reconfiguration. Its distinctive stone and part tile-hung elevations are draped in mature wisteria, while crow-stepped gables and leaded light windows showcase its architectural heritage.

Inside, the house is rich in period detail, with exposed beams throughout the older sections and two magnificent inglenook fireplaces-one in the formal dining room and another forming the heart of the double-aspect living room, which also features a log burner and an additional fireplace at the opposite end.

The ground floor flows from a welcoming hallway with terracotta tiled flooring to a study ideal for home working, and a generous kitchen with wood units, tiled worktops, terracotta floor, breakfast peninsula, electric oven, gas hob with cooker hood, and space for a freestanding washing machine and tumble dryer, plus side access and a door into the dining room. The formal dining room is an atmospheric space, perfect for entertaining, while the living room spans the width of the property yet retains a cosy feel befitting a home of this character. A second hallway leads from the sitting room to side access on both sides of the property, a downstairs cloakroom, and a library/garden room with double doors opening onto the garden.

Upstairs, five well-proportioned double bedrooms are served by a three-piece family bathroom with bath, basin and WC, and a recently refitted shower room featuring a walk-in shower, vanity basin, WC and heated towel rail. There is also storage on the upstairs landing.

In addition to its existing accommodation, Tankards offers exciting potential for future enhancement. Planning drawings have been prepared for a proposed extension and alteration of the existing carport to create a stunning new kitchen space, providing buyers with a vision for modern living while retaining the property’s historic character.

Surrounded by glorious countryside and within easy reach of the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Tankards offers a rare opportunity to acquire an historic home in an idyllic setting, with scope to create a bespoke residence for modern living.
