The Hockering Estate is without doubt the most prized location in Woking where large, predominantly period homes sit in beautifully private surroundings and where there is an unusual sense of peace and tranqulity, all within just a few minutes walk of Woking town centre and its superb commuter station. Combe End sits in the heart of the estate, resting on a truely delightful and secluded plot which is comfortably over half an acre and which lends a huge degree of seclusion and privacy to a home that works incredibly well for a family as indeed it does for entertaining.
The accommodation is laid out over four floors, stretches out to somewhere approaching 4,000 square feet and has a great deal of versatility to the way in which is can be used depending on the needs of the incoming buyer. What is apparent from the start and throughout though is that here is a home which is steeped in the character of the original building, all of which brings a great deal of warmth to the house as a whole.
The two original living rooms both have double doors which lead onto the elevated terrace at the back which in turn gives a stunning view over the gardens. In contrast to these spaces, and on the other side of the house, is a far more contemporary kitchen dining room with a tall, vaulted ceiling which allows a great deal of light to flood into this space through a wall of glass that also offers an uninterrupted outlook of the grounds. On the lower ground floor a further large living room would make the ideal home office, gym or a large family / TV room if preferred.
On the first floor the main bedroom is a beautifully light and airy space with a bay window that again looks out over the garden while to one side is a large en suite bathroom. There are two further double bedrooms on this floor along with another two bathrooms while on the top floor two more double bedrooms share the use of the final bathroom.

The Hockering is one of the most sought after locations in Woking, a gated private estate in a conservation area that was developed in the 1920s by the Master Builder W G Tarrant and where substantial homes rest on large and secluded plots which give it a distinctly private feel. One of the great attractions of the location is its proximity to Woking town centre which is less than a mile from the house and has been the subject of huge investment in recent years resulting in a town that has a far more interesting and contemporary feel. There is also a good deal of shopping to be found in the town, no more so than in the Peacocks centre which is also home to the New Victoria theatre and the multi screen cinema. Woking mainline station is widely regarded as one of the very best in the South East and runs an exceptional service into Waterloo and from where there is also an excellent coach service to Heathrow airport. A short drive in the other direction will take you into the beautiful county town of Guildford while in and around Woking there are numerous very fine schools in both the private and the state sector. The area as a whole is surrounded by miles of woodland and open countryside which makes for excellent walking and cycling and within easy reach of the house there are a number of highly regarded golf courses. In short, this is almost the perfect location to take advantage of both the town and the surrounding countryside.
