5 bedroom house

A simply stunning five bedroom, six bathroom character home nestled in the Surrey Hills benefitting from spectacular countryside views, significant acreage and a heated swimming pool with poolhouse.

The property offers spacious and versatile accommodation which is flooded with light throughout and accentuated by delightful character features, notably superb timber beams and exposed brickwork and wattle and daub.

The wonderful country-style kitchen with stylish island opens into the dining /family room with skylight and doors opening straight onto the terrace. There are three further reception rooms, one of which has a gorgeous inglenook fireplace. A pantry, utility room and WC complete the downstairs.

The oak staircase leads up to the galleried landing featuring beautiful exposed beams. Here you find the handsome principal suite with en-suite bathroom and dressing room with bespoke cabinetry, and three further double bedrooms, two with luxury en-suite bathrooms and one with a stylish copper and enamel bathtub, set under the window so you can enjoy the green outlook. There is also a family shower room on this floor.

A covered walkway from the kitchen leads to a separate annexe housing a gym with shower room on the ground floor and stairs leading up to a spacious home office, with bespoke built-in desk. There is also a store room perfect for mountain bikes and sports equipment accessed via the garage doors and also internally via the gym.

A beautifully-cultivated cottage garden envelops the property, with colourful borders, box hedges terraces and water features creating different garden rooms where you and your guests can relax and enjoy the tranquil setting. To the rear of the property, there is a large lawn which extends down to where the formal gardens end and the fields begin. From the house and grounds, you can enjoy views of the larger and the smaller of the two ponds and the woodland covering the crests of the hills which is a marvellous place to roam and explore. There are also vegetable gardens and a greenhouse.

The heated swimming pool, which is set in an elevated Southerly position and surrounded by a lounge deck, gives a holiday ambience, and in fact the sizeable modern-look poolhouse lends itself to hosting parties and also as self-contained guest accommodation. Glass sliding doors run the width of the entertaining space and there is a separate double bedroom with floor to ceiling windows and shower room.

Accessed via electric gates, there is ample driveway parking. Whilst entirely secluded, the A3 is just a short drive away and Haslemere Station, which takes you to London Waterloo in under an hour, is less than 15 minutes’ drive in the car. For those in pursuit of an active countryside lifestyle, every activity you could dream of is on offer with hiking trails, cycle routes and bridal paths on your doorstep.
