Nestled among acres of common land and open fields, 'Old Rickford' is set back from the road amid glorious gardens. The main house, dating back to the 17th century, is Grade II listed and full of historic charm. It is complemented by a stunning oak-framed kitchen/dining room with bi-fold doors that open onto the patio and gardens.
Upon entering 'Old Rickford', you will find a small boot room leading to a large, low-beamed reception hall. The double-aspect sitting room features a much-used inglenook fireplace, while a third reception room offers flexibility as a formal dining room, home office, or fourth double bedroom, with a separate WC and a shower room nearby. The utility room houses the washing machine and boiler.
Upstairs, there are three characterful double bedrooms and a bathroom, all showcasing historic beams and wooden floors. The principal bedroom boasts a high, vaulted ceiling. An ancient door leads from the second bedroom to the third, although a second staircase provides independent access to the third bedroom. The bathroom is fitted with modern Roca fittings, including a freestanding bath and a separate walk-in shower.
In recent years, the current owners have completely refurbished the original house, replacing all plumbing, wiring, and heating, and adding the kitchen extension and stone terrace. Planning permission has been agreed to replace the existing double-length garage and car port area with a larger garage / studio. Planning reference 22/P/00183.
The lovely south-facing 0.6-acre gardens include a garden studio, ideal as a home office, two sheds, and a greenhouse.
Worplesdon, with its mainline station, is an ideal country base for commuting to London, offering a 30-minute journey to Waterloo. Both Woking and Guildford are easily accessible for more frequent train services and excellent shopping and recreational facilities. Local amenities include the village hall, church, a public house/hotel, and a bakery. The location is within easy reach of both the M3 and A3, providing excellent access to Heathrow and Gatwick airports. Open countryside, along with Rickford and Whitmoor Commons, makes it a dog walker's paradise.
