4 bed detached house for sale

Horsell, Surrey GU21

Viewings commencing Saturday 5th September.

Set on one of Horsell’s most sought-after tree-lined roads, this attractive detached character home combines generous and versatile accommodation with a wealth of original features, a superb south-east facing garden and a location that works equally well for village life and commuting.

The house has a particularly appealing traditional exterior, with bay windows, tiled roof and characterful elevations. The current owners have carefully improved the property while retaining many of the details that give the house its individuality, including the original side door and original Crittall doors within the front reception room.

Oak engineered wood flooring runs through much of the ground floor and helps create a natural flow between the living spaces. The main sitting room is a wonderfully comfortable room, centred around a working open fire and enhanced by a large bay window overlooking the back garden. The family room is a large welcoming space with a large bay window to the front and Crittal French doors to the back garden, creating a wonderful sense of light and space. The room also features a working wood burner making it a cosy space in the cooler months.

At the heart of the home is the impressive kitchen/dining room, providing an excellent sociable space for both everyday family life and entertaining. The contemporary kitchen offers extensive storage and work surfaces together with a breakfast bar and a Quooker boiling-water tap, which was installed approximately three years ago. There is plenty of room for dining, while the large windows ensure the space enjoys an abundance of natural light. The kitchen also benefits from a vaulted ceiling, adding to the sense of light and space.

A further family room provides another generous reception space, featuring a vaulted ceiling, with direct access onto the rear garden. One of the real strengths of the house is its flexibility, with the additional ground-floor room currently providing useful space as a guest bedroom/home office. Foundations are already in place to extend this part of the house upwards, offering exciting potential to create further accommodation, subject to the necessary permissions and consents. A ground-floor bathroom, also with a vaulted ceiling, adds further practicality.

Upstairs are three excellent double bedrooms, with new carpets fitted in Bedrooms 1 and 2 within the last few months. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, with a wide bay window and its own en-suite shower room, which was upgraded towards the end of 2024. The remaining bedrooms are both generously proportioned and are served by the family bathroom.

The property has also benefited from replacement windows throughout, combining the character of the house with the practicalities expected of a modern family home.

Outside, the south-east facing rear garden is a real highlight. Generous in size and established with mature planting, it provides an excellent degree of privacy and plenty of space for children, entertaining and outdoor dining. A detached sauna is a fantastic addition, while two separate garden sheds provide useful storage.

To the front, a substantial gravel driveway provides ample off-street parking and complements the attractive setting of the house.

Wheatsheaf Close is one of Horsell’s most established and desirable residential roads, known for its attractive individual homes and convenient position. Horsell Village, with its excellent range of independent shops, cafés, pubs and highly regarded schools, is within easy reach, while the extensive open spaces of Horsell Common are also close by. Woking town centre and mainline station are readily accessible, providing fast and frequent connections into London Waterloo.

A superb character home that has been carefully improved while retaining some wonderful original features, with excellent living space, three/four generous double bedrooms, a south-east facing garden and further potential to extend.
