Castle Grove Road, Woking, GU24

Castle Grove House is a truly distinctive Grade II listed residence, originally dating from 1643 and later enhanced with sympathetic Georgian and Victorian additions. Located just 0.6 miles from the heart of the sought after village of Chobham, the property combines period character with contemporary comfort, creating a versatile and elegant family home.
The house has been comprehensively refurbished and extended (including a new roof this year) but still retains many original features including exposed beams, sash windows and open fireplaces, while offering generous and flexible accommodation ideally suited to modern family living and entertaining.
The ground floor opens into a welcoming dining hall, setting the tone for the rest of the home. This leads to an elegant drawing room with feature fireplace and French doors opening onto the gardens. A separate family room provides additional informal living space.
At the heart of the house lies the impressive kitchen/breakfast/orangery, fitted with a central island and roof lantern that floods the room with natural light and affords uninterrupted views across the rear gardens. This space is ideal for relaxed day to day living as well as entertaining, with doors opening directly onto the terrace. A utility room and guest cloakroom complete the ground floor.
On the first floor, the principal bedroom features a vaulted ceiling, walk in dressing room and an en suite bathroom. There is a second en suite bedroom, three further well proportioned bedrooms, a family bathroom, separate WC and an additional shower room.
The property is approached via double opening electric gates leading onto a generous gravelled driveway and the south facing grounds extend to approximately 1.3 acres.
The gardens are a particular highlight, laid predominantly to lawn and interspersed with mature herbaceous borders and specimen trees, offering a high degree of privacy and tranquillity. Pathways lead through the grounds to a pergola, gazebo, children’s play area and several generous patio areas ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining.
