Hillside, Virginia Water, GU25

Hillside is a settled residential road in Virginia Water, and this three-bedroom home has something that's increasingly difficult to find – a mature rear garden that backs directly onto woodland, with your own gate taking you straight out amongst the trees.
It's a home that's clearly been enjoyed for many years and now feels ready for its next chapter. There's plenty of space already, but also genuine potential to modernise, rethink the layout or explore extending the property, subject to the usual planning permissions.
The main lounge is a particularly good size, with a feature fireplace and sliding doors looking out across the garden. In the warmer months you can open the doors and bring the outside in, while during winter the fireplace gives the room a completely different feel.
The dining room leads through to the kitchen, creating a practical arrangement as it stands but also one that gives you options if open-plan living is part of your longer-term plans.
Two of the bedrooms are on the ground floor alongside the bathroom and separate WC, with a further bedroom upstairs. That flexibility could work particularly well if you need a guest room, somewhere to work from home or simply prefer having most of your everyday living on one level.
But it's the garden that really changes the feel of the home. It's mature, private and backs directly onto woodland, so rather than looking out towards another row of houses, greenery forms the backdrop. The gate at the end means you can head straight out for a walk without getting in the car, and the current owner has particularly enjoyed the amount of wildlife that visits throughout the year.
There's practical space outside too, with a garage and off-street parking for two to three cars.
The location gives you a good balance between that quieter setting and everyday convenience. Virginia Water station is around 0.8 miles away, while Trumps Green Primary School is approximately 0.2 miles from the property.
There are plenty of things you could change here over time, but the setting isn't one of them. It's the privacy, the woodland behind you and being able to step through your own back gate for a walk that the current owner will miss most.
