Property description
A substantial detached family home set in 1.75 acres of delightful landscaped and private grounds within an easy walk of Ludshott Common and set on the fringes of Grayshott village. Built in 1932 the house has been occupied by the same owners for the last 35 years who have lovingly restored and improved the house and gardens which now offer well appointed accommodation over two floors.
A brace and ledge oak front door and a reception hall with a quarry tiled floor make a wonderful first impression. Leading off from the hall is a triple aspect sitting room with an attractive open fireplace. The rearmost part of this room has a vaulted ceiling and doors leading to the gardens and terrace. A dining room has views over the gardens and an original oak corner drinks cupboard / serving hatch to kitchen. The study, with a connecting door to outside, has built in study furniture and houses the original second staircase leading to the first floor if required.
The kitchen is complimented by an extensive range of units, a pull out larder cupboard, a walk in pantry and a door leading to the gardens. This room opens through to the breakfast room which has an attractive period fireplace and delightful views over the gardens.
Two staircases lead to the first floor and a large first floor landing has doors leading off to the bedrooms including a principal bedroom with, depending on use, an adjoining dressing room or bedroom. There are three further bedrooms on this floor, a family bathroom and a recently refitted shower room.
Outside, the gardens of approximately 1.75 acres face a southerly direction to the rear and provide a delightful private setting for the property. Approached by a gated entrance, an attractive tree lined driveway leads to the front of the house and the detached double garage, with ample space to park several vehicles.
To the rear there is a wide terrace, ornamental pond and a large area of lawn with attractive mature rhododendrons to the boundaries with further beds of camellias and acres. The gardens host a wonderful array of specimen trees including an ancient Mulberry tree which is situated close to the house adjacent to the terrace.
Set in a highly respected and sought after road within a short distance of the centre of the award winning village of Grayshott. The village provides an excellent range of day to day shopping facilities including supermarkets, a butcher, a greengrocer, post office and a doctor's surgery. Leisure facilities include a village pub, social club, tennis club and restaurants.
Communications are excellent with the A3 providing swift access to the M25 and motorway network as well as both Heathrow and Gatwick airports. The mail line station at Haslemere is approximately 3 miles away with a frequent service to London Waterloo.
