Designer lifestyle for sale A very rare opportunity has arisen at Woking’s most exclusive new address. Not only will the purchaser of Greywell House, the last remaining 5 bedroom property, enjoy a home decorated and fully furnished by interior designer Alexander James but they’ll also be the proud owner of a luxurious narrowboat.

Head of Sales and Marketing, David Wrigley, explains:

“Woodham Park is a very special address – it backs onto the Basingstoke Canal, which offers around 32 miles of tranquil waterway for exploration. As Greywell House is the last remaining property to benefit from this incredible location and has its own mooring, we decided to throw the 41ft narrowboat, commissioned to showcase the moorings at the development, into the bargain. It’s a beautiful, brand new boat and will provide not only a great talking point when entertaining in the garden, but also offer the chance to cruise the canal network at leisure.

“And as this is a sizeable house, the fact that it will be sold lock, stock and barrel with its designer interior and furnishing makes it an even more attractive proposition.”

But it’s not just a waterside location that makes Greywell House such an attractive proposition - Alexander James’ dramatic cream, gold and black colour scheme perfectly showcases an interior designed for elegant modern living. The spacious accommodation includes, to the ground floor, an imposing reception hallway, formal dining room, study, classically proportioned drawing room and a separate kitchen leading onto a conservatory – perfect for more informal dining.

On the first floor, the master suite enjoys a terrace overlooking the rear garden and canal. Three further bedrooms, one en-suite and all with built in wardrobes complete the first floor accommodation, along with a family bathroom. The second floor offers a further en-suite bedroom and a ‘bonus room’ – set up as a gym, but equally useful as a playroom, home cinema or gym, depending on your lifestyle.

And the designer touch isn’t limited to the décor - kitchens and utility rooms feature hand-crafted oak furniture from Mark Wilkinson. Bathrooms are equally opulent with baths by Vernon Tutbury, sanitary ware by Villeroy & Boch, bespoke fitted furniture, heated towel ladder, radiators and mirrors.

Despite its peaceful location within a gated cul-de-sac of just nine homes, Greywell House is conveniently placed. The village of West Byfleet, some 1.5 miles distant, provides a Waitrose supermarket, independent shops and a selection of good restaurants. Roughly 2 miles in the other direction, Woking itself offers a range of high street stores and fantastic links to London – regular trains from Woking station arrive in London Waterloo in as little as 27 minutes*.

Fully furnished and with the narrowboat in the price, Greywell House is on the market at £1,450,000. For more information, visit Millgatehomes.co.uk.
