The property pictured is a computer generated image of a house approved by the Local Authority and the Wentworth Estate, to be built after the demolition of a 1930's house at Hurtwood, a magnificent 3.5 acre site on the renowned 'Main Island' of the Wentworth Estate situated on high ground falling away to the rear and backing onto the River Bourne. A wonderful mature garden facing due south to the rear and with a vast array of specimen shrubs, plants and trees providing colour throughout the year. Planning permission has been approved for a classical Georgianesque style house designed by award winning architect Julian Bicknell to provide 1134 square metres, measured gross externally on three floors with a fabulous leisure complex in the basement. The new house will sit well on the site which is very private from any adjoining properties and is in a particularly quiet part of the Estate.
Hurtwood is conveniently situated on the Wentworth Estate between the Wentworth Golf Club and the picturesque shopping parades of Virginia Water with its excellent shops for day to day needs, restaurants and mainline railway station with a fast service of trains to Waterloo in 42 minutes. For the weekly household shop there is an excellent Waitrose in Sunningdale and for more extensive shopping facilities, the towns of Windsor, Guildford and Kingston are all close at hand. Junction 13 of the M25 is just 3.5 miles away giving access to London, Heathrow and the motorway network. Other than the world renowned Wentworth Club, country clubs abound in the area such as Foxhills, Queenwood, Sunningdale and the Royal Berkshire. Delightful walks can be enjoyed around Virginia Water Lake which leads up to the Polo at Smiths Lawn, adjacent to Savill Gardens and Windsor Great Park beyond for riding. The area is also very well catered for by a wide choice of private prep schools, as well as two international schools, ACS in Egham and TASIS in Thorpe.
Hurtwood is currently a typical Wentworth family home built by WG Tarrant in the 1920's set in superb gardens and woodlands or approximately 3.5 acres. The current owners have obtained a magnificent planning consent for a new mansion house designed by Julian Bicknell to replace the existing 1920's house. Computer generated images show how the front and rear of the approved plans will look when built. A classically proportioned Georgianesque property, timeless in its architectural appeal externally and designed with the modern family lifestyle in mind and open plan versatility for entertaining on a grand scale. Hurtwood has a wide frontage to Waverley Drive with a carriage driveway.
The gardens face due south to the rear and have an enormous variety of specimen shrubs, conifers, acres and magnificent trees providing colour throughout the rear in the different seasons, particularly in May when the rhododendrons and azaleas flourish and the Autumn when the leaves turn. Towards the end of the garden, a path leads down to the River Bourne through an enchanting woodland garden. The gardens are quite a feature of the property, should be viewed to be appreciated and amount to approximately 3.5 acres in all.
