Description
Juniper Hill is an exceptional family home which we understand was built in 1927 for a Classics teacher at Charterhouse School, evidenced by a Latin inscription over the front door which reads ‘Utile Quod Facias’ meaning ‘Whatever you do, do it well’. The house is located in a semi rural position between Hydon’s Ball and Winkworth Arboretum.
Internal accommodation is beautifully presented throughout and extends to approximately 5000 sq ft. The welcoming reception hall is generous in size with a Portland stone fireplace giving an immediate sense of arrival, this comfortably leads to three well proportioned reception rooms and a study.
The Shaker style open plan kitchen has been completed to an exceptionally high standard and is very much the heart of the house and lends itself to entertaining. There is a substantial central island, built in appliances and a Range cooker. This space flows into a wonderfully light dining and relaxing area with sliding doors opening on to the patio and gardens beyond. Off the kitchen is a useful utility room with access outside, a separate WC/cloakroom and a gym area with doors opening on to the patio.
The lower ground floor has a separate entrance, housing the boiler and is ideal for storage or as a wine cellar.
On the first floor is the impressive dual aspect principal bedroom suite with fitted wardrobes, an adjoining dressing room and a beautiful en suite. Across the landing are five further double bedrooms (two with en suite shower rooms) and a family bathroom. The configuration is ideally suited to family living and all bedrooms enjoy pleasant aspects across the gardens and grounds.
Outside the flagstone patio runs the length of the house, steps lead down to an additional paved area which is a perfect space to relax and dine in front of the swimming pool and tennis court. The lawns wrap around the house and the spectacular rhododendrons provide captivating colours throughout the spring and summer months.
There are several acres of woodland offering privacy and seclusion.
To the front of the house is the newly built triple garage and workshop with storage above. There is also further garaging and ample car parking.
Location
Juniper Hill occupies an enviable and idyllic semi rural location. The nearby town of Godalming is approximately 2.5 miles away and offers an extensive range of local amenities, including the mainline station from which there is a fast and frequent service to London Waterloo with journey times from around 47 minutes. A more extensive selection of shopping, leisure and cultural amenities will be found at Guildford. The A281 and A3 provide ready access to London, the south coast, Heathrow and Gatwick airport and the national motorway network.
There is a wide choice of both state and private schools in the area, including Busbridge Junior school, St Hilarys, St Catherine's, Prior's Field, Charterhouse, Cranleigh and Godalming Sixth form college.
Recreational opportunities include golf at several nearby clubs, including Bramley and West Surrey; polo at Cowdray Park and Ewhurst, racing at Epsom and Sandown Park and country sports at a number of local venues. In addition, the surrounding area provides unrivalled walking, riding and cycling.
