A quintessential 1930s country home with contemporary finishing touches, Little Tarrel sits nestled within utterly idyllic grounds and south facing gardens of circa 1.25acres where zip wires stretch high overhead from a hidden two storey tree house. In a rarely available Brookwood location, it sits back from a leafy road behind a sweeping in/out driveway with a prodigious layout of 3006sq ft that includes a choice of garaging. An elegant central entrance hall unfolds onto 2 exceptional reception rooms, a study and modern kitchen, while 4 bedrooms include a principal suite with a dressing room and en suite bathroom.
Sitting back from the leafy canopy of trees arching over Benwell Road, Little Tarrel exudes an immense feeling of quintessential charm and tranquillity. With clematis entwining the timbers of a canopied entrance and climbing roses stretching across the rear facade, this 1930s residence effortlessly engenders the essence of a true English country home. Having lived here for the past 32 years the current owners have made the decision that now is the right time to downsize.
Step inside and you’ll find the rich dark tones of a superbly sized central entrance hall where an elegant staircase is delicately lit from above and a hugely fluid layout unfolds around you instantly generating a feeling of space. Filled with light, a spacious triple aspect lounge fills your gaze with the magnificent colour and greenery of the gardens. With an original wood floor underfoot and a soft neutral palette its impressive dimensions proffer ample space in which to relax and unwind. A working fireplace lends a homely yet refined focal point while south-facing French doors open to allow a tremendous covered seating area to become an easy flowing extension of the room.
The original flooring continues across the entrance hall in a formal dining room that’s equally suited for family meals or evenings spent entertaining friends. Its heritage grey colour scheme matches that of the hall giving a notable level of cohesion, while a glazed door supplies the perfect excuse to enjoy an al fresco aperitif. A double aspect study is a peaceful haven when working from home and has the versatility to be a snug/TV/games room if preferred.
With further access to the covered seating area outside, a considerable kitchen is fully fitted with the sleek clean lines of handleless cabinets and electric drawers. Integrated appliances include a tower of eye-level Neff ovens and an induction hob, and the wrap-around design has dedicated space for an American-style fridge freezer. A broad window seat is an enviable spot for a morning coffee and a separate utility room has its own entrance, a WC and a handy dog wash station. Its boiler is just 5 years old.
The sense of light and space is echoed upstairs where a prodigious principal suite creates its own wing of the house and proffers an air of calm and restfulness. Double aspect windows allow the gardens to add a beautiful backdrop while a first class engineered oak floor extends through a charming archway into a dressing room where a folding door reveals an en suite. Arranged in a deluxe marble style setting, it has both a full sized bathtub and walk-in shower.
Two additional double aspect double bedrooms and a noticeably large single bedroom provide an ideal measure of accommodation for a growing family and guests. Together they share an exceptional shower room where a tastefully chosen countertop basin atop floating cabinetry, a glass framed walk-in shower is finished with the streamline design of an inset floor drain, and marble tiles complement those of the of the en suite. A separate cloakroom/WC completes the layout and it’s good to note that each of the bath/shower rooms benefits from underfloor heating and that the family shower room was refitted 5 years ago. A substantial loft is boarded and insulated.
Framed by statuesque conifers and evergreen hedging that lend an immediate sense of privacy and seclusion, the picture perfect frontage of Little Tarrel sits tucked back from Benwell Road behind the sweeping curve and gravel of a prodigious in/out driveway. Detached double garaging opens into both an adjoining workshop and the gardens and an additional single garage adds to the admirable degree of private off-road parking.
Extending out over circa 1.25acres the grounds of this graceful home include the undeniable tranquillity of utterly idyllic south-facing gardens where the vibrant blooms of a magnificent camellia add a breathtaking pop of colour. Heavenly high borders, a weeping willow and a beautifully curated bed of mature flowering shrubs combine with established lawns and a walnut tree to produce a stunning example of a quintessential English country garden. A broad patio unites with the covered seating area to give you every opportunity to sit, dine and enjoy your surroundings, while children and the young at heart will love a duo of zip wires that stretch discreetly overhead flying you away through the trees from a two storey tree house that adds a truly magical finishing touch.
There are no Tree Preservation Orders on these outstanding gardens.
Location
Sheets Heath is a designated area of Special Scientific Interest. The heath offers the outdoor enthusiast a wealth of opportunities with numerous walks and bridleways. The heathland connects to Pirbright and Whitmoor commons along with the Basingstoke Canal system. The nearby village of Brookwood is within walking distance and offers a range of local shops as well as a mainline rail service connecting to London Waterloo in as little as 30 minutes. The market town of Guildford is within a short drive (7.4 miles) with the large town of Woking being less than five miles away.
The area is well served for road connections including the A3 at Guildford and the M3 (Junction 3) at Bagshot providing access to the national motorway network, London and the international airports of Heathrow, Gatwick and Southampton.
The property is located next to many fine established golf courses including West Hill, Worplesdon and Woking. There are further sporting facilities in the area such as tennis clubs at Pirbright, Worplesdon and Hook Heath, in Woking and racing at Ascot and Sandown.
There are a number of schools catering for all ages within a relatively short distance including the Royal Grammar School, Guildford High School, Tormead and Lanesborough in Guildford, Halsted/St Andrews Prep and Hoe Bridge in Woking, Rydes Hill Preparatory in Worplesdon and Pirbright Primary School.
