Dating from the early 17th Century, the house has been faced in colour washed stucco and has a 2 storey porch to the front under a Dutch style gable with a clock face over a Venetian window. The east side of the house facing the driveway has three gabled bays. Of architectural merit, the house is mentioned In Pevsner's Buildings of Surrey 1971.
Although full of historic charm, the house has been designed for modern family living with approximately 3758 sq ft of beautifully presented accommodation including three good reception rooms, a study and a wonderful kitchen/breakfast room with Aga. The principal bedroom faces west and affords distant views over its own
land and beyond and benefits from a large ensuite bathroom and cleverly designed dressing room. There arefive further bedrooms and a further bathroom and shower room. Currently three of the bedrooms and a shower room have been laid out to provide a brilliant area for teenagers if so desired.
The property is approached off the lane into a sweeping gravel driveway with masses of parking in front of the house and extensive barn style garage. The actual gardens have been lovingly laid out to provide masses of year round colour with well stock borders and a west facing terrace. To the south is a kitchen garden with raised borders. There is a beautiful heated swimming pool which was installed in the last 5 years with stone surround and electric safety cover. Further from the house are the paddocks and a wonderful and very spiritual area of light woodland, ideal for summer parties or family weddings.
West Flexford House is situated in an area known as Flexford in a truly rural setting surrounded by arable farmland. Nearby is Wanborough which can only be described as an archetypal English country hamlet with a church dating back to the 13th Century, 16th Century manor house and very large Great Barn, yet incredibly accessible to Guildford. Within approximately a 10 minute walk, is
Wanborough Train Station with services to both Guildford and Reading.
The county town of Guildford is within about 6 miles to the east, offering extensive shopping, recreational and educational facilities as well as a main line station to London Waterloo, taking approximately 35 minutes.
Communications are excellent in the area with the A31 (Hogs Back) being close by providing access to the A3 which in turn links up with the M25, and subsequently London, Heathrow, Gatwick and Southampton airports.
Directly from the property, the surrounding countryside has many miles of footpaths and bridleways ideal for the walking, riding and
cycling enthusiast.
