The Priory is a unique village house, steeped in history and full of character, close to the centre of this very popular village. The Priory dates back to the 1600s and was originally part of the Pierrepont Estate. It has been extended to incorporate Regency and Gothic additions and latterly a wing in the 1920s.
Throughout the house are many period features, including open fireplaces, oak flooring, extensive exposed oak beams, stained glass windows, ornate doorways, and original Delf tiling.
On the ground floor are two impressive reception rooms, each with fireplaces. There is an additional sitting room, currently used as a music studio. The south-facing kitchen and breakfast room overlook a York stone terrace which is ideal for outdoor entertaining. Of note is a spacious pantry with a Butler sink and ample storage.
The principal bedroom, with en suite bathroom and dressing room, has a beautiful view of the courtyard, framed by a striking wisteria. There is a further dressing room/study and a convenient laundry room. In addition, there are four further double bedrooms, including the charming beamed attic room/bedroom six on the second floor.

The Priory is approached by an initial shared driveway which leads through double 5-bar gates into a private driveway.
This provides parking for a number of cars.
A brick pathway from the driveway extends around the lawn down to the lower York stone terrace and the house.
The gardens have been styled to reflect the influence of Lutyens and Jekyll surrounding a splendid yew tree which sits centrally on the main lawn. The lawn is bordered by mature and well-stocked beds together with two beautiful oak trees.
The boundary to the front of the property is flanked by clipped hedging and pollarded Limes.
Opposite the house, off Priory Lane, is a further parking area for two cars.


The Priory is located in the charming village of Frensham, which has a church, village shop, post office, public house, Frensham Ponds Hotel and a boating lake.
Within the area is an excellent range of schools, including Edgeborough, Frensham Heights and Moore House in Frensham, Charterhouse and Prior's Field in Godalming, Amesbury and The Royal School, Hindhead, The High School and The Royal Grammar School, Guildford, St Catherine's, Bramley and Cranleigh School, Cranleigh.
Recreational opportunities include golf at several local clubs including Liphook, Hankley Common, Hindhead and Farnham. There is shooting and fishing at several local venues, polo at Hurtwood Park and Cowdray, racing at Epsom and Goodwood and sailing at Frensham Ponds and Chichester Harbour. Locally there is cricket, tennis and bowls at the recreation ground. The Surrey Sports Park in Guildford offers professional-level training facilities.
The surrounding countryside, much of which is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offers miles of pathways for walking and riding. Access into the nearby Alice Holt Forest is off West End Lane on the western side of the village.
