Key features and description

A rare opportunity to acquire a magnificent country estate with planning permission for a new main house set within approximately 135 acres of rural parkland on the outskirts of Guildford.

The main house permission reflects the demand for Georgian proportions and traditional building materials combined with modern and sustainable living. 

The proposed house enjoys panoramic views over formal gardens, private parkland and the most secluded setting amidst extensive farm and woodland. 

The planning consent includes a wine cellar, gym, large indoor swimming pool and two changing rooms at basement level whilst the ground floor includes a beautiful family kitchen with a breakfast terrace, a formal reception room, informal lounge, cinema, two studies, a large utility room and boot room. 

The first floor would have a generous principal bedroom with a spacious bathroom and dressing room, in addition there are five family bedrooms, four of which are en suite, and an additional bathroom. 

The proposed loft plan includes two spacious suites, both with a dressing room and en suite. 

There are numerous ancillary buildings which have already undergone extensive refurbishment. 

The main barn is in immaculate condition which includes the open plan kitchen and formal reception space which extends to just over 26 feet and has vaulted ceilings and a stunning fireplace with log burner. 

The kitchen is well proportioned with a large, central island with plenty of units and worktop space and a walk in pantry. 

Doors open to a loggia area and there is a further reception room currently set up as a home cinema as well as a boot room and cloakroom. 

There are three bedroom suites with the principal bedroom having an additional dressing area. 

The regional centre of Guildford is readily accessible and offers extensive shopping, business and cultural facilities including the Cathedral, the Castle and The Yvonne Arnaud Theatre. 

The recently redeveloped Tungsate Quarter is in close proximity, and boasts the Ivy Brasserie, Ivy Asia and Gail's Bakery amongst its highlights. 

Golf clubs in the immediate area include Worplesdon, Woking, Wisley and West Hill. 

There is Polo at Windsor and Cowdray and Racing at Ascot, Sandown, Kempton and Epsom.

There are excellent walking and riding opportunities provided by an extensive network of footpaths and bridleways throughout. 

About 1.5 miles to the north is Worplesdon station (Waterloo 35 minutes), 3.6 miles to the north east is Woking Station (Waterloo 31 minutes) and Guildford station is just over 4 miles away (Waterloo 33 minutes). 

Guildford also benefits from a number of sports and leisure centres as well as a range of superstores on its outskirts and two hospitals. 

The area has excellent road links via the A3 and M3 to the M25 and therefore to London, Heathrow and Gatwick.

The area is well served with both private and public schools including Charterhouse, Cranleigh, the Royal Grammar School for boys, Guildford High School for girls, Tormead, Frensham Heights, Bedales and St Catherine's.
