Aston House is situated in the heart of Blackheath, amidst miles of National Trust owned woodland and heathland designated as an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and is approached by a long sandy track across the heath, so it provides the most idyllic and peaceful rural setting. Blackheath is a small hamlet with a thriving cricket club and small church, and there are local village shops in nearby Wonersh and Chilworth. Guildford is four miles with its historic High Street and excellent facilities, including shops, restaurants and bars. Here the main line station provides a regular commuter service to Waterloo in 38 minutes. Chilworth station linking to Guildford and Gatwick is only 0.6mile. There are nearby schools in Chilworth and Wonersh and all of Guildford’s schools are easily accessible.
Aston House was built in 1901 and was featured in Country Life in 1910 as it was designed by Sir Charles Nicholson, a prominent church architect. On the market now for the first time since 1986, Aston House has been altered and updated over the years and more recently with extensive kitchen modifications including it now opening into a charming conservatory overlooking the garden. There is a fascinating covered courtyard entrance, which also provides access to a self-contained annexe, if required as so. The main house has six bedrooms over two floors with three bathrooms, and there is a seventh bedroom and fourth bathroom which could also form the annexe. There are three fine reception rooms on the ground floor, all overlooking the garden, and the modern kitchen opening to the conservatory with a large utility room and rear lobby. Aston House is approached across the common where a five-bar gate and shingle driveway leads a parking and turning area in front of the house. Double gates then lead to a rear courtyard with garaging, car port and workshop with a parking forecourt. The grounds are a lovely feature of Aston House with a beautiful lawn area at the rear with rhododendrons, azealeas and magnolias as a colourful backdrop all around, and a gate leads directly on to the heath. Steps lead down from an entertaining terrace to a lily pond and from here a path leads to an area of mature woodland providing attractive walks, leading to a clearing, ideal for play areas for children.
