Property Profile From time to time a house comes to the market that feels like the very essence of what makes a home and this is exactly one of those occasions. Elcombe has been much loved and hugely enjoyed by our clients who have also very cleverly and sympathetically enlarged it to make a very practical home that caters extremely well for the needs of today's living. From the start and throughout, delightful original features now go hand in hand with a contemporary and stylish finish to make a perfect blend of the old and the modern. Beneath the charming covered verandah the front door leads into an at once welcoming reception hall that creates a warm and comfortable feel that in fact runs through the whole house. Off the hall on the front there are two very comfortable reception rooms, one a very charming sitting room with a central fireplace that houses a log burner while the other is currently used as a perfect family room. Both of these double aspect rooms look out across the verandah and the beautiful front garden beyond and indeed have a number of possible uses depending upon the needs of an incoming buyer. On the back of the house the day-to-day living rooms work tremendously well on a practical level and very much feel like the heart of the home. Adjacent to each other, the kitchen and superb conservatory style family room interconnect to create a wonderful informal living space that overlooks the rear garden and indeed has doors out from the family room. The kitchen is beautifully fitted out with a range of wooden units, granite and solid wood worktops and all of the expected appliances that include a large stainless steel range oven. At one end there is space for a large table and chairs beneath a semi vaulted ceiling all of which looks out over the garden through a large picture window that allows in a great deal of light. The family room is likewise flooded with light thanks to its glass extension which also makes this a beautifully proportioned room and, with its rich, underfloor heated, solid wood floor, one that also has a very comfortable feel to it. Upstairs the bedrooms continue in the same light and airy vein, are all doubles and likewise have a very charming and comfortable feel to them. The master bedroom looks out over the front garden and has a very attractive full en suite bathroom while the guest bedroom on the back also has its own shower room with a rain sensor Velux window. The remaining three double bedrooms are equally well proportioned while the family bathroom is beautifully fitted out with bath, shower and twin basins set into a marble surround with drawers below and also has a rain sensor Velux window that allows in a good deal of light and underfloor heating. All in all this is an exceptional home of outstanding character that is situated in a wonderfully quiet and private setting.

Garden & Exterior The front gate leads into a beautifully private and superbly tended front garden that immediately gives an impression of what is to come. Along one side of the manicured lawn a stone path leads to the verandah terrace at the front of the house that is the perfect spot for outside dining and enjoying the afternoon and evening sun. In the front garden to one corner there is a timber built studio which would make an ideal home office or games room depending upon the needs of the incoming buyer. At the back of the house there is a further delightfully secluded area of garden with a sun terrace that leads down onto a beautifully tended lawn with inset flower and shrub beds and a pathway that leads to the further double driveway. The garage, to one side of the garden, has recently been converted by our clients into a superb and very well proportioned games room on the ground floor complete with BT line and Sky while a staircase leads to a further room above which again would make an ideal home office

or occasional guest bedroom. Both the front and rear lawns have herringbone drainage beneath the grass. All in all the gardens provide the house with a beautifully sunny, private and secluded setting and are very much part of what makes this such an attractive home.
Location Elcombe is situated in a quiet, tucked away and entirely convenient location midway between Guildford and Woking. Either town is within just a short drive of the house offering a variety of different facilities, Guildford with its beautiful, historic High Street lined with period buildings and Woking with its more modern town and shopping centre. Guildford town centre has a varied, eclectic and interesting array of bars, cafes, restaurants and shops along its cobbled High Street and the side streets that lead from it as well as an array of entertainment options that include the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre, the multi-screen
cinema and the G Live music and events venue. Both towns have an excellent commuter station that runs a fast and frequent service into London Waterloo while there is also the option of Worplesdon and Brookwood stations both of which have a 1 stop service into Waterloo. The house is situated on a lane which leads directly into extensive woodland and Brookwood Heath, which in turn lead onto the green in Pirbright and the highly-sought after Pirbright School. The area in general is surrounded by miles of green hills and open countryside much of which is readily accessible from Elcombe while a short drive south of Guildford will take you out into the heart of the Surrey hills. There are many fine educational facilities in the area, both state and private, all of which makes this the perfect location for family living.
