Mayford, GU22 0SE

Discreetly positioned along a leafy road on the fringes of Mayford, 'Silverwood' is an enchanting six-bedroom home offering exceptional privacy, space and versatility. Approached through gates and set well back amid glorious mature gardens, the property feels wonderfully removed from the outside world. Its characterful façade gives way to interiors that have been thoughtfully styled in a calm, understated palette, creating an elegant yet welcoming atmosphere throughout. Extending to approximately 3,157sq ft, the house has been designed to connect effortlessly with its beautiful surroundings, with numerous doors opening onto terraces and secluded areas of the garden.

At the heart of the home is a magnificent triple aspect sitting and dining room, where a soaring vaulted ceiling enhances the remarkable sense of light and volume. French doors frame views of the gardens and open directly onto the surrounding patios, making this an exceptional space for entertaining during the warmer months. Polished timber flooring brings warmth and character, while the working fireplace provides an inviting focal point on cooler evenings. A separate snug offers a more intimate setting for informal relaxation and flows naturally into the impressive kitchen and breakfast room. Beautifully appointed with an extensive range of Shaker-style cabinetry, black granite work surfaces and a central island with casual seating, the kitchen combines timeless country styling with all the practicalities required for modern family life. A range cooker set beneath a traditional mantle creates a striking centrepiece, while the adjoining utility room keeps household appliances neatly concealed.

The adaptable layout offers three ground floor double bedrooms, together with a contemporary walk-in shower room, making this part of the house ideal for visiting relatives, older children or anyone seeking predominantly single level living. One of these bedrooms is particularly impressive, with French doors opening onto its own private decked terrace overlooking the gardens. A dedicated study provides a quiet and comfortable place to work from home. On the first floor, three further double bedrooms continue the home's refined decorative scheme. The principal suite is a wonderfully peaceful sanctuary, with skylights positioned for views of the night sky, excellent concealed storage and a luxurious en-suite bathroom featuring a freestanding-style bath and generous walk-in rainfall shower. The remaining bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom finished with elegant contemporary tiling.

The grounds are an outstanding feature of Silverwood, creating a private oasis framed by mature evergreens, specimen trees and established planting. Broad, beautifully maintained lawns provide ample space for children, summer gatherings and leisurely afternoons outdoors, while a choice of paved and raised decked terraces makes al fresco dining effortless throughout the day. Nestled beneath the trees, the detached annexe is finished in dramatic dark timber cladding and includes a superb 24ft open plan living area, modern bathroom and covered terrace. Whether used for independent family accommodation, guest quarters, a creative studio or an impressive home office, it adds considerable flexibility. A sweeping driveway provides parking for numerous vehicles and access to the garaging, completing this rare and captivating home.
