6 bed detached house for sale

Berry Lane, Worplesdon, Guildford GU3

Set within approximately 2.1 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, ‘Little Bridley’ is a distinguished country house of immense character and charm, perfectly positioned between Woking and Guildford, with far-reaching views across Worplesdon Golf Course. Believed to date from the late 1920s, the property reflects the refined elegance of late Edwardian architecture, with colour-washed brick elevations beneath a gabled tiled roof and distinctive corbelled chimneys. The property offers exceptional scope for sympathetic modernisation or extension (STPP), providing a wonderful opportunity to create a truly bespoke family home in an idyllic rural setting.

The accommodation is centred around a grand reception hall, setting the tone for the generous proportions and period detail found throughout. There are five elegant reception rooms, including a magnificent drawing room and formal dining room, both featuring high corniced ceilings, open fireplaces, and large bay windows framing beautiful views over the gardens.

On the first floor, six spacious bedrooms offer delightful views over the grounds and the adjoining Worplesdon Golf Course, with one enjoying access to a private balcony. The principal bedroom features an en suite bathroom, complemented by two additional family bathrooms and a separate shower room. A large roof space offers further potential for conversion, subject to the necessary permissions, adding to the home’s versatility and long-term appeal.

Externally, the property enjoys enchanting grounds combining formal lawns and informal areas, with mature trees, a rose garden, orchard, and bluebell paddock. A broad terrace extends across the rear of the house, overlooking sweeping lawns that once served as a grass tennis court, leading to a charming thatched summerhouse and a secluded swimming pool. Various outbuildings provide useful ancillary space, enhancing the property’s functionality and appeal.

Accessed via electric wrought iron gates, a long gravel driveway lined with specimen shrubs and mature trees creates an impressive approach to the house, culminating in a generous parking area with a central water feature. Blending timeless architectural elegance with outstanding potential and tranquil surroundings, Little Bridley represents a rare opportunity to secure a distinguished country home in one of Surrey’s most desirable locations.
