Vision becomes reality at Woodham Park

As you drive through the electric gates and approach this collection of just nine, individually appointed 5 bedroom homes through beautifully landscaped grounds, it becomes evident that Millgate Homes’ vision of creating a unique waterside address has become reality.

Here none of the imposing properties are exactly the same and - while some benefit from ‘super rooms’ that span the entire width of the property combining kitchen, living room and conservatory in addition to separate, formal dining rooms and studies - others feature a more traditional layout with separate drawing room, dining room and kitchen.

The specification here is just as impressive as the scale of the homes - kitchens and utility rooms feature hand-crafted oak furniture by international designer Mark Wilkinson alongside Miele appliances that include a multifunction oven, hi-light ceramic hob and island extractor hood in addition to an integrated fridge, freezer, wine cooler and dishwasher. Bathrooms are finished to an equally opulent finish, with baths by Vernon Tutbury, sanitary ware by Villeroy & Boch, bespoke fitted furniture, heated towel ladder, radiators and mirrors.

Add to this the fact that some of the properties back onto the tranquil waters of the Basingstoke Canal, and it’s easy to see why Woodham Park won recognition at the prestigious 2008 Evening Standard Awards, where it was highly commended in the ‘Best New Small Development’ category, and the former Show Home was named New Home of the Year.

And the location is just as special as the homes themselves. Occupying a secluded spot in leafy northern Woking, it’s hard to believe quite how conveniently placed this sought-after address is. Local amenities, including a Waitrose supermarket, independent shops and a selection of good restaurants lie some 1.5 miles distant in the village of West Byfleet, while 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*.

Leisure interests are equally well catered for - golfers can indulge their passion with no less than fourteen courses in the surrounding area, including the prized New Zealand Golf Club which lies opposite Woodham Park. For those who enjoy immersing themselves in nature in its purest form, the 855 acres of mixed woodland, heathland and riverside meadows of Horsell Common are just a few hundred yards from the development and are criss-crossed with an intricate network of footpaths.

If you want to invest in a slice of this award-winning development, you’d be well advised to move quickly. Just two 5 bedroom homes remain both offering spacious, versatile accommodation. One of the properties, Millmead House, backs onto the canal and enjoys its own mooring, and is on the market for £1,350,000 while Hatherton House is available for £1,050,000.

The Show Home is open daily from 10am to 4pm, visit Millgatehomes.co.uk for more information.
