An environmentally sensitive country house with glorious views over its own land and located in Hambledon, one of the most coveted villages in Surrey.



Description

Hambledon House is a brand-new state of the art country property which sits in the heart of Hambledon village. The property has been styled with the Edwardian period in mind and benefits from an abundance of windows, especially those in the grand reception hall where a double height full width window takes centre stage.

Other notable additions include the two oak staircases, one partially cantilevered, stone flooring, Rangemaster induction hob, large American fridge freezer with ice compartment, specific drinks fridge with hot water tap and multiple south facing balconies with views to the lake.

The owners have also kept a keen eye on the property’s environmental impact and have included ground source heating, underfloor heating, a central vacuum system, and a whole house ventilation system with heat recovery. The house also benefits from a burglar alarm and full fibre broadband connection.

Hambledon House expands to over 8,000 sq ft of living space over three floors, replacing an original house which also allows for a further garage wing with accommodation above as well as an orangery to be built. In addition to the main house there is a one bedroomed cottage and coach house. The coach house is in need of full refurbishment and has planning in place to demolish and rebuild. (Due to be demolished by current owners, with planning in place to build a four bedroom coach house – Planning reference WA/2022/00744).

To the west of the property is the Italian garden made up of a large ornamental pond, pergolas, and walled garden, whilst to the east is a hard standing tennis court, recently resurfaced. The immediate gardens are separated by a ha-ha before the remaining agricultural land is accessed, which expands in total to over 26 acres. Towards the southern boundary is the lake and main entrance gates.
