House For Sale £995,000
Friars Gate is a most picturesque Grade II listed cottage, full of history, in the heart of Chiddingfold. We are advised the house dates back to the 15th century and has, over the years, had further additions to now provide incredibly deceptive accommodation on three floors.
The cottage is full of charm and character with extensive exposed wall and ceiling beams.
The cottage is approached into the entrance hall with the reception rooms leading off. The drawing room is a spacious room for a house of this nature with a lovely open fireplace and the study leading off. The sitting room has a lovely inglenook fireplace with the stairs leading up to the first floor.
The bedrooms and bathrooms are arranged over the first and second floors and there is a lovely view of the church from the fourth bedroom on the second floor.
Friars Gate offers an incoming purchaser the opportunity to place their mark on one of Chiddingfold's special cottages, yet so accessible to all the facilities that the village offers.
There is a detached barn that was formerly used as a studio with a separate cloakroom.
Friars Gate is approached into a tarmacadam and gravelled driveway that fronts the barn, providing ample parking.
An arch and wrought iron gate leads to the side of the cottage with a wide expanse of York stone. This is abutted by the delightful garden, with manicured box hedging and well stocked flower and shrub borders providing extensive colour in the spring and summer. A pathway leads to a further terrace area, which is adjoined by a wide expanse of lawn. Beyond, is further clipped box hedging, a summerhouse and the stream that borders the rear boundary with a further seating area. The gardens to Friars Gate are an absolute feature, being both mature, south-facing and of a generous size.
Friars Gate is perfectly positioned in the centre of Chiddingfold village and a short walk of the village green. Local amenities include two shops, a butcher and Boots pharmacy, two churches, a vet, medical centre, primary school and several public houses all centred around the delightful village green.
More extensive shopping facilities can be found in Haslemere to the south and in Guildford and Godalming to the north. There are extensive schools in the area including The Royal School and St Ives in Haslemere, Charterhouse and Prior's Field in Godalming, Highfield and Brookham schools in Liphook, Cranleigh school and both Barrow Hills and King Edward's in Witley. Golf courses in the area include Liphook, Hankley Common, Hindhead, West Surrey and Chichester. There is also polo at Cowdray Park and sailing on The South Coast at Chichester.
