Set within approximately four acres of manicured communal gardens, this top-floor three-bedroom split-level apartment occupies part of the Grade II listed Ashwood House. The property offers over 1,360 sq ft of well-proportioned living space, a private south-facing garden, allocated parking plus a garage — practical assets for family life and storage.
Internal character remains strong: high ceilings, original features from the 1929 conversion and a spacious open-plan living/kitchen breakfast area that benefits from bright, elevated views. The layout includes two bedrooms and two bathrooms on the lower level with a further bedroom and bathroom upstairs, giving flexible accommodation for a family, home office or guest suite.
Ownership is straightforward: share of freehold, an exceptionally long lease (972 years) and chain-free sale. However, buyers should note the property’s listed status, which may restrict alterations and complicate permissions. Service charges and ground rent are notable — service charge above average and council tax described as quite expensive — and walls are likely solid brick with limited insulation.
Practical considerations include slow broadband despite excellent mobile reception, and historic construction that can mean higher ongoing maintenance costs. For families seeking character, space and secure grounds close to Woking town centre and mainline rail links, this property offers rare scale and position; buyers planning major alterations should factor in listed-building constraints and the cost of sympathetic improvements.
