Description
Dating from the early 20th century, Abbotswood is a substantial and impressive family home in an Edwardian style and retains all the characteristics typical of that period.
Note-worthy characteristics include the very generous panelled reception hall and elegant oak staircase, feature fireplaces in several rooms and the attractive stone-mullioned leaded-light windows. High ceilings in the principal rooms and large windows create a tremendous impression of space and light drawing the eye to some wonderful garden views.
The bright and spacious kitchen/breakfast room benefits from a recently refurbished Smallbone kitchen and will undoubtedly become the family centre of the home.
Generous reception areas and garden access make Abbotswood ideal for entertaining on a grand scale when required whilst being equally well suited to comfortably informal family living. The property currently provides up to eight bedrooms including potential staff accommodation. The accommodation of Abbotswood is well laid out and is illustrated on the floor plans included in this brochure.
In total, the main house offers eight bedrooms, four reception rooms and six bathrooms. Annex one offers one bedroom, one reception room and one bathroom.
Gardens and Grounds
The superbly maintained gardens and grounds are a key feature of this property and will amply reward and delight the enthusiastic gardener.
The property is approached from the private lane over a cattle grid onto a spacious gravel forecourt with space for several cars and the drive continues behind the house to the garages and further parking.
The formal gardens surrounding the house are mainly laid to level lawn with numerous meticulously tended beds and borders where a wide variety of planting provides year-round colour and interest. A most attractive Wisteria-clad pergola leads away from the house to an ornate water feature, whilst to the rear a productive orchard leads to an area of kitchen garden and several glass houses.
Beyond the formal gardens the grounds merge into areas of pasture and well managed woodland with numerous specimen trees whilst beyond this again the grounds comprise mainly further woodland.
Grass paths lead over the lawns to the pool with pool house and changing rooms nearby.
Location
Abbotswood enjoys a particularly attractive and secluded location at the end of a private no-through-road in Hurtmore on the outskirts of Godalming town. Surrounded by its own extensive grounds it falls within The Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is designated an Area of Great Landscape Value with the protection that implies.
There is an excellent choice of shops and services in Godalming whilst Guildford offers a comprehensive range of high street shopping, leisure and cultural amenities. These include a variety of restaurants, two theatres, multiplex cinema, clubs and bars, the g-Live event venue and the Spectrum Sports Centre.
Abbotswood benefits from excellent communications. The main A3 trunk road provides a direct route to London and Portsmouth connecting with the M25 interchange at Wisley for access to the airports and the national motorway network.
Rail communications are also good with main line stations at Godalming, Farncombe and Guildford offering fast and frequent services into London (Waterloo 46 minutes from Godalming).
Schools in the area are excellent and include Priorsfield and Charterhouse (both within one mile), St Hilary’s, in Godalming, St Catherine’s at Bramley, Aldro at Shackleford and Tormead, Lanesborough, The Royal Grammar School and High School for Girls in Guildford.
Recreational opportunities include several golf clubs, comprehensive sport and leisure centres at Guildford and Godalming and country pursuits at a number of local venues.
In addition, the surrounding area includes a wide variety of beautiful countryside for walking and riding.
