Property description

This elegant family home is a fine example of Victorian architecture, built in 1889 for a Charterhouse Master and arranged over three floors. There is extensive oak joinery and flooring, large sash windows, high ceilings and well-proportioned rooms. There are attractive fireplaces in the main rooms and there is a lovely conservatory along the side of the house. The kitchen is fitted with a modern range of painted wooden units with granite work surfaces, integrated electric oven and hob, dishwasher and gas aga. The breakfast room adjoins. The elegant central hallway provides access to the main rooms with a graceful staircase leading to the first and second floors. The bedrooms are generous in proportion and the top floor was arranged as a flat with a kitchen and bathroom.

Outside
There is a gated driveway leading to a detached garage with carport, situated at the end of the garden, and a large greenhouse. The walled garden is delightful, with a beautiful front lawn with well stocked and colourful beds and borders. Adjoining the back of the house is a stone terrace which is ideal for outside entertaining and there are mature trees and hedgerows providing a very secluded setting with further areas of lawn. To one side of the house is an arched gateway through to a landscaped "secret garden". In all, the garden extends to 0.25 acre.

Situation
Hillbrow occupies a tucked away location on the top of Frith Hill, in a highly regarded residential area. Godalming town centre is within a mile with its wide range of shops, restaurants and cafes, together with Waitrose and Sainsbury's supermarkets. Farncombe and Godalming mainline stations (both close by) serve Waterloo in about 42 and 47 minutes respectively. Access onto the A3 which links with the M25 is at Hurtmore. The property is conveniently located for a number of highly regarded schools, including Charterhouse (with the Charterhouse Club sports centre and leisure facilities), Prior's Field, St Hilary's, Aldro in Shackleford, and Godalming Sixth Form College. A series of footpaths lead off the Hill onto open countryside, Bluebell woods and down into Binscombe and Compton, the latter connecting with the Old Pilgrim's Way.
