Built in 1912, having been designed by distinguished London architects Forsyth and Maule, Monkswood is a superb example of an extremely well-presented country home, offering scope for incoming purchasers to further add to this exceptionally well maintained property. Situated in a private road no-through road in Hurtmore, on the outskirts of Godalming, the property enjoys excellent transport links by both road and rail.Approached via a gated driveway, the property sits elegantly in immaculately manicured grounds and gardens of 5.7 acres originally designed by Gertrude Jekyll. The house itself spans over 5,500 sqft and enjoys well-proportioned accommodation over three floors. From the reception hall the principal rooms are accessed; all of which are light rooms that enjoy aspects over the superb gardens – a sun room added in recent times is a remarkable space to host alfresco entertainment. To the first and second floors, Monkswood is currently arranged with eight double bedrooms, three bathrooms and a shower room; lending itself well to reconfiguration should an incoming purchaser so wish.The accommodation extends to a large triple garage and workshop with a snooker room on the first floor.GROUNDS & GARDENSOriginally designed by renowned British horticulturalist and garden designer Gertrude Jekyll, the grounds and gardens of approximately 5.7 acres are of particular note.
