PROPERTY PROFILE Oldfield Wood, previously St Peters Convent, is a unique development of townhouses and apartments that sit in delightful private grounds of approaching four acres. The Grade lI listed property was built in 1885 and converted in 1995 with huge care and attention to detail which preserved a great deal of the character of the original building. The house is approached through a delightful covered entrance porch with five stunning brick arches and into a large and welcoming reception hall where a sweeping staircase leads to the upper floors. The size and character of the house is immediately apparent thanks to the high ceilings and the way the light floods in through the large lead light windows. On one side is the main sitting room which is a delightfully light and airy space with a deep bay window that looks out over the side garden. A solid wood floor compliments the neutral décor while at one end is an open, working fireplace. This is a room that works very well as a day to day living space as it does for entertaining. On the back of the house is the kitchen dining room which has a pair of beautiful lead light widows that give a lovely outlook over the communal gardens while to one side a set of French doors open out onto the private sun terrace. The kitchen is fitted out with an exceptional array of hand painted units and a collection of built in appliances and the dining area comfortably accommodates a large table. The sweeping, turning staircase leads up via a half landing where a double height, stone mullioned window allows light to flood into both the lading and the reception hall. The half galleried landing is unusually large and continues the feeling of space that runs through the house as a whole and leads to the two bedrooms on this level. Both of these rooms are comfortable doubles and look out over the grounds while the master bedroom has its own en suite bathroom. On the top floor there are two further rooms, very versatile in their potential use, one which is currently used as a large TV sitting room while the other makes a very pleasant home office. It is also worth noting that bedroom two on the middle floor was originally two separate bedrooms and could easily be converted back should an incoming buyer so wish.

GARDEN & EXTERIOR As you drive in through the electronic gates and along the sweeping driveway, the front of Oldfield Wood comes into view and there is no doubt that you get the feeling of this being a unique setting. The main building sits in grounds that extend to somewhere in the order of 4 acres and at night features lighting to the building and surrounding trees, all of which creates a very attractive feel, particularly on warm summer evenings. The grounds are superbly maintained and include beautifully well kept lawns, a topiary garden and a hard tennis court which is for the exclusive use of the residents. The house itself has its own private, south facing sun
terrace which leads from the kitchen and overlooks the topiary garden, which is unusual for the houses in Oldfield Wood. In addition to this the entrance porch makes a delightful spot to sit and catch the last of the evening sun and looks out over the fountain. LOCATION Oldfield Wood is without doubt one of the most unique locations in Woking where a collection of superbly converted houses and apartments sit very much within their own grounds. There is no doubt that the convenience of this location is part of the appeal as it is within just a short walk of Woking town centre and the excellent commuter station that can be found there.
As a town, Woking is currently going through a radical and exciting program of regeneration that is seeing it take on a far more interesting and contemporary feel. Due to open this year the Victoria Square development will see a huge Marks & Spencer open up as well as a Hilton Hotel, complete with a sky bar. There is also a wide and varied collection of bars and restaurants all along Commercial Way while in the Peacocks Centre is an excellent theatre and a multi screen cinema. There are numerous and very well thought of schooling options all around Woking along with a collection of very fine golf clubs. There are excellent road communications from Woking to the A3 and also the M25, which in turn gives swift access to the airports.
