West Byfleet

A handsome and characterful period home occupying an exceptional plot of approximately half an acre, discreetly positioned along one of West Byfleet’s desirable private roads, bordering the sought-after Pyrford area.

Built in 1922, Shepards has a fascinating history, having originally been commissioned for a professional pianist who gave lessons from the formal drawing room overlooking the gardens.

Having been home to just three families since it was built Shepards retains a wonderful sense of character and heritage, with beautifully proportioned accommodation arranged over three floors.

About This Property

Shepards is an individual and beautifully proportioned period residence, offering substantial accommodation arranged over three floors and retaining much of the charm and character associated with its 1920s origins. Set well back within mature grounds on a sought-after private road, the house has an immediately welcoming presence, enhanced by its traditional architecture, attractive elevations and established surroundings.

The ground floor provides a superb arrangement of reception and family spaces, ideally suited to both everyday living and entertaining. The principal reception rooms are particularly generous, with large windows allowing excellent natural light and providing wonderful views across the gardens. Two of the reception rooms also benefit from working fireplaces, adding to the warmth and period charm of the property. The formal drawing room is a particularly elegant space and has an interesting connection to the property’s history, having originally been used by the home’s first owner, a professional pianist, to give music lessons. This sense of heritage continues throughout the house, with well-proportioned rooms and characterful features creating a home of considerable warmth and individuality.

At the heart of the accommodation is a well-appointed kitchen featuring a traditional gas-fired Aga, adding both warmth and character to this welcoming space. The kitchen is complemented by excellent supporting areas that provide the practicality required for modern family life while remaining sympathetic to the character of the property. The generous layout offers considerable versatility, with plenty of space for family gatherings, more formal entertaining or simply relaxing and enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

Across the upper floors are five bedrooms and three bathrooms, providing excellent flexibility for family members and visiting guests, with the arrangement over two levels adding further character to the accommodation.

Having remained in the ownership of only a small number of families throughout its history, Shepards possesses a wonderful sense of permanence that is increasingly difficult to find. Combined with its substantial accommodation, beautiful mature gardens, period character and secluded private-road setting, this is a particularly special and distinctive West Byfleet home.
