Wickets is a true gardener's paradise, beautifully set on a quarter-acre plot with uninterrupted rural views to the front. Approached via a spacious driveway that comfortably accommodates several cars, this property also boasts a single integrated garage. The ground floor features a well-appointed kitchen, with room for a small dining table, fully fitted units, and convenient side access to both the driveway and the garden. A practical WC and utility room, complete with sink, fitted units, and space for a washing machine, lead through to the larger-than-average single garage, offering ample storage or workspace. The heart of the home is the open-plan living and dining area, where a charming feature fireplace invites cozy gatherings. From here, doors open into a light-filled family room that offers tranquil views of the garden. A stunning hardwood conservatory, accessible from both the living and family rooms, provides an ideal space for year-round enjoyment and opens directly onto the garden, merging indoor and outdoor living. Upstairs, the first floor comprises four generous double bedrooms, one of which benefits from a large area of eaves storage. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, boasting dual aspects for abundant natural light and a newly fitted ensuite shower room for added luxury. A well-sized family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms. The garden is nothing short of spectacular, offering a large, private patio area directly accessible from the house. Beyond the hedge, a series of garden "rooms" unfold, featuring lush lawns, mature shrubs, and colourful borders that create a captivating array of spaces. A greenhouse and sheds are perfect for the keen gardener, while the views, both front and rear, stretch across fields and gardens, delivering a true sense of countryside living. Wickets is ideally located in Normandy, a village brimming with local charm. Just under a mile from the house, you'll find the Normandy village shop and café, while the area also offers a vibrant community spirit with activities such as archery, tennis, and cricket, along with nursery schools and a Scout group. Despite its peaceful rural setting, the property is only 5.3 miles from Guildford town center and its mainline train station, offering a perfect blend of country living with easy access to urban amenities. Guildford itself is renowned for its extensive selection of high street and boutique shops, as well as a wide variety of restaurants and leisure facilities, making this the ideal location for those seeking the best of both worlds.
