5 bedroom detached house for sale

Built to emulate the architectural style of Sir Edwin Lutyens, and set within beautiful secluded grounds.

Nestled within a rarely available leafy no-through lane, Greensleeves is enviably tucked away within wrap-around grounds of circa 1.3 acres. Exuding an unmistakable amount of charm, the detailing of its architecture elegantly mirrors the style of Sir Edwin Lutyens, renowned for creating some of the country’s most beautiful country homes. Originally built in the 1950s it has been respectfully extended and enhanced during its lifetime with reclaimed bricks and beams being sympathetically chosen to give an older and more patinaed appearance.

Emanating a subtle sense of calm and cohesion a carefully curated layout with Crittall windows and soft neutral hues begins with a magnificent triple aspect reception hall. Stretching out over more than 31ft with bow windows, its French doors take you out idyllic terracing. With the focal point of a wood burner within an inglenook fireplace, its spacious dimensions generate a choice of snug and seating areas subtly delineated by high and wide archways, while the warm tones of a wood floor perfectly complement those of a feature timber framed wall and exposed beams.
The tasteful aesthetics of this picture perfect space continue in an adjoining reception/drawing room with further bow windows and a large quintessential brick fireplace. Leafy vistas to all three sides lend a tranquil backdrop creating a wonderful place for you to relax and entertain.

Across the main reception hall a classic latch door opens onto a wonderfully large country kitchen/breakfast room fully fitted with impeccably crafted Pippy oak cabinetry. With a Cotswold stone tiled floor beneath your feet, its split level arrangement produces a defined double aspect dining area that’s ideal for day to day life. An Aga nestles within the brickwork of the kitchen’s chimney breast, a matching central island topped with granite and has bar stool seating, an integrated oven and hob, and there’s dedicated space for an American-style fridge freezer. This true cook’s kitchen has the added storage of a deep pantry, and to its side a separate utility room keep laundry appliances hidden out of sight.

Enhancing the charm and character of this exceptional home further still, double doors open into a formal dining room. Generating a stunning place that you’ll love to entertain friends in, it sits beneath the rich dark beams of a vaulted ceiling and has French doors that make it effortlessly easy to enjoy sundowners and al fresco meals on the terracing. A cloakroom completes the ground floor.

The attention to the smallest of details is echoed upstairs throughout each of five exceptional double bedrooms. Filled with natural light and views of the gardens, they combine to provide a notable amount of flexible family and guest accommodation. A double aspect principal bedroom has the luxury of an en suite with the classic design of an indulgently large rosehead shower with an exposed riser. The additional rooms are arranged in pairs that share either an en suite bath or shower room, while an exceptional family bathroom adds a sublime twist to its period surroundings with a deluxe contemporary bathtub and first-class suite arranged in a refined tile setting.

Set within the tranquillity and seclusion of capacious grounds and gardens of in excess of 1.1 acres Greensleeves proffers a semi-rural idyll whilst still being within easy reach of central Haslemere. Tucked back from Bell Vale Lane behind an extensive private driveway this prestigious home is encompassed by extensive wrap-around lawns framed by the evergreen foliage of trees and shrubs that blend seamlessly into the surrounding landscape.

The French doors of the reception hall and dining room entice you onto an expansive tiered terracing for al fresco dining, the simplicity of an afternoon siesta or a last glass of wine while watching the sun go down. A solar heated outdoor swimming pool and pool house provide an idyllic destination on hot sunny days, and a detached studio supplies a host of possibilities as a home office or guest accommodation.

Together with the gravel driveway a detached double barn style carport provides plenty of off-road parking.
