1 Woking Guide Price 795,000 (Freehold) A stunning townhouse making up part of the Oldfield Wood development which was converted with great care and in harmony with the original 1885 St Peters Convent. EPC Rating C

2 Oldfield Wood is a unique and highly imaginative development that was undertaken by a team of specialist builders to convert St Peters Convent into a collection of stunning and award winning townhouses and apartments. The huge sympathy for the original building that was given to the development in 1996 is apparent throughout and much of the outstanding Victorian workmanship remains today and is evident in the stone mullion windows, ornately corniced ceilings and beautifully carved solid wood doors that very much add to the overall feeling of these unique homes. Sitting in fabulously maintained five acre grounds and positioned within easy reach of Woking town and its excellent commuter station this is also a location that strikes almost the perfect balance between the tranquillity of the setting and the convenience of the town. This particular townhouse sits in the central courtyard positioned around an immaculately tended lawn with a central fountain and has the advantage of a south backing position. This not only gives it a delightful outlook at the back over the communal grounds but also ensures full advantage of the sunlight through the larger part of the day. At the front a covered entrance porch leads to the front door which opens into a large reception hall that at once gives a sense of the character of the building as a whole. An outstanding feature is the solid oak floor that runs on into the drawing room while a turning staircase to one side leads to the upper floors. The principal living space is an absolute delight and is flooded with natural light that comes through the vast stone mullion, lead light windows that give a delightful view out over the rear garden. Unusually high, corniced ceilings only add to the overall feeling of space making this a room that works equally well on a day to day basis as it does for entertaining. The adjacent kitchen breakfast room is superbly fitted out with a very wide selection of units and beautiful Corian worktops and has a range of built in appliances that include a dishwasher, a fridge and freezer and a stainless steel double oven. On the first floor the master bedroom has a lovely view at the front into the central courtyard and, as with the rest of the house, has a very appealing sense of light and space. At one end there is a range of built in wardrobes while to one side is a very nicely refitted contemporary en suite shower room. On the next level is what the current owners use to great effect as a study which has two lead light windows that look down onto the communal gardens at the back and is a very light room which could equally well make an occasional fourth bedroom. Another staircase leads to the top floor where there are two further bedrooms which share the use of a large family bathroom. This is an enormously warm and comfortable home, steeped in the

3 character and the feel of its origin and positioned in a setting that feels like an oasis of calm and tranquillity.

5 Directions Oldfield Wood sits within walking distance of the town which is a great advantage to the commuter as the station is regarded as giving one of the fastest services into Waterloo that can be found in the South East. Woking has undergone a very significant facelift in recent years and is fast becoming a busy and contemporary centre with the influx of well known restaurants and bars that line Commercial Way and spill out onto the pavements in the summer months. The Peacocks Shopping Centre has a food court on the ground floor, shopping above and is also home to the New Victoria Theatre and the multi screen cinema. There are numerous high quality golf courses around Woking as well as miles of open countryside all within easy reach. The beautiful County Town of Guildford with its historic cobbled High Street is just a short drive away as is access to the A3 and thereby the M25.
