4 bedroom detached house

Littlecote is a charming, red brick Victorian property adorned with Wisteria, climbing Hydrangea and beautiful arched and bay windows. Tastefully updated over the years, this is the first occasion in over 60 years that the property has become available on the open market.

Offering spacious and well-proportioned living spaces, one notable area is the drawing room, featuring arched French doors that open onto the terrace. There is also a dining room that could easily double as a home office or playroom. The Alitex glasshouse serves as a delightful conservatory, providing scenic views of the garden. In addition, the kitchen/breakfast room takes centre stage as the heart of the home. It showcases a cherished bespoke, unfitted kitchen, complementing the warm character of the property and providing a welcoming space for family and friends, with an abundance of natural light to filling the space throughout the day.

To the first floor is the principle bedroom with an en suite bathroom and a dressing room. Currently used as a study, this room can also be converted into a fifth double bedroom if needed. Its past use as a nursery showcases its versatility. The remaining three bedrooms are all doubles and there is a family bathroom.

Littlecote is approached through a five-bar gate, leading to a gravel driveway at the front of the house. There is ample parking for multiple cars and leads to a convenient barn-style carport, capable of accommodating two vehicles. Of note, there is an electric car charging point. Above the carport, there is a sizable room currently used as a snug,providing additional functional space. At the rear of the property, are the pretty south-facing gardens with far-reaching views. A sun terrace offers a delightful area for entertaining and al fresco dining. Adding to the appeal of the property is a studio, separate to the house, yet easily accessible from the kitchen or driveway. This provides a versatile space which also works perfectly as an office.

The gardens are predominantly laid to lawn, with roses and mature herbaceous borders. A kitchen garden is perfect for growing salads and vegetables, while an ornamental pond adds a touch of elegance to the outdoor setting.

Littlecote occupies an elevated and exceptional position on the southern fringes of Haslemere within one of the most coveted roads. Its location offers proximity to local amenities and access to neighbouring footpaths, perfect for exploring the surrounding countryside, including Blackdown, an area of over 900 acres of National Trust land. The town offers an excellent range of cafés and boutique shops (including a Waitrose supermarket), providing most things needed for day-to-day living. There is also a recreation ground, complete with tennis, football and cricket clubs, and play area located a short distance away, as well as The Haslemere Leisure Centre and a mainline train station with services to London Waterloo taking approximately 56 minutes. More comprehensive shopping facilities are available in the nearby towns of Godalming and Guildford.

There is an excellent choice of schools in the area, including The Royal Senior School and St. Ives in Haslemere, St. Edmund's, The Royal Junior School and Amesbury at Hindhead and Highfield School in Liphook. Other schools in the area include Charterhouse at Godalming and Barrow Hills at Witley.
