Chobham, Woking, Surrey GU24

A beautiful semi-rural home that is rarely available, Albury Farm offers a blissful countryside retreat on the edges of Chobham. Set within circa 2.5 acres of south-facing gardens and grounds, this exceptional family residence extends to approximately 4,524 sq ft and includes a detached games room, double length garaging and a highly versatile self-contained annexe. Occupying a discreet and highly desirable position just off Gracious Pond Road and set within the stunning backdrop of Chobham Common, the property enjoys a true sense of seclusion and tranquillity, whilst remaining conveniently close to the village’s range of shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as mainline stations offering services to London and Reading, and excellent road links via the M3 and M25.

The surrounding Common, managed by the Surrey Wildlife Trust, offers a protected natural environment rich in flora and fauna, with direct access from the property to an extensive network of footpaths and bridleways, ideal for walking and riding. The setting provides a wonderful balance of rural charm and accessibility, creating an idyllic retreat throughout the seasons.

The property itself is a substantial five to six bedroom detached residence, set within mature formal gardens of approximately half an acre, creating a private and peaceful environment ideally suited to family life.

Internally, the accommodation is both generous and versatile, offering flexibility to suit a variety of lifestyles. The principal reception room is a striking double aspect space featuring exposed oak beams, a log burning stove and doors opening onto the garden and patio. This is complemented by a formal dining room and an impressive conservatory spanning the rear of the house, both enjoying direct access to the gardens and providing ideal spaces for entertaining.

At the heart of the home lies the kitchen and family room, designed for day to day living. The kitchen is fitted with solid oak cabinetry, marble work surfaces, a Belfast sink and a dual fuel range cooker, while the adjoining family area provides ample space for informal dining and relaxation. A well appointed utility and boot room offers practical access to both the front and rear of the property.

A notable feature of the home is the attached annexe, which can be configured as a self contained living space or incorporated into the main house. Currently arranged to include a spacious sitting room with its own patio access, a further reception room with potential for use as a kitchen, a bedroom and a bathroom, the annexe offers excellent flexibility for multi generational living, guest accommodation or home working. The loft space above the annexe is boarded and already benefits from power and light, offering further potential for conversion, subject to the usual planning consents. The annexe also benefits from its own independent heating system.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom suite enjoys a dual aspect, with built in wardrobes, a dressing area and an en suite bathroom. There are three further double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a family bathroom, with many rooms enjoying attractive views over the gardens.

Externally, the mature gardens provide a beautifully maintained setting, with expansive lawns, established planting and a large patio area, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. Beyond the formal gardens, a circa two acre paddock lies to the rear, enclosed by post and rail fencing and offering excellent potential for equestrian or recreational use. A stable block, currently arranged as a gym, adds further versatility and could be adapted to suit a variety of requirements.

The property is well equipped for those requiring extensive parking and storage, with a double length garage, a three bay oak framed car port and ample driveway parking suitable for numerous vehicles.
