House For Sale £1,500,000
Great Down is an excellent modern country house, built on the site of a former country mansion and provides a light, airy and well proportioned accommodation carefully orientated to make the most of the superb outlook. All principal rooms enjoy these views with terraces and patio areas located accordingly to take advantage. The house is well presented and provides particularly versatile accommodation, which includes a downstairs bedroom that is currently used as an office, with an attached utility room that can be turned into an en-suite and that whole section can be converted into a mini annexe. A really comfortable and appealing house that must be inspected internally to fully appreciate the features and rare outlook.
Outside
The grounds are a special feature extending in all to approximately two acres and have been very well landscaped in a series of organised terraces with ornamental pond, well stocked borders, shrub borders and a wide variety of ornamental trees and shrubs, combining to provide a lovely setting with a high degree of privacy, lots of which date back to the formal gardens enjoyed by the former mansion. The house is approached via a long driveway leading to a large forecourt. To the rear of the house there is a full width level terrace leading down to staged areas of lawn with flanking borders. There is a detached double width garage with twin metal doors, and staircase to first floor. There is an additional detached single garage.
Situation
Great Down occupies a prominent position on the southern slopes of the Hog’s Back between Guildford and Farnham with quite outstanding panoramic distant views across the valley and the Pilgrims Way (Canterbury Tales) to farmland, woodland and distant hills beyond. Both Farnham and Guildford are within easy reach providing an exceptional range of shopping, educational and cultural facilities, together with a choice of main line stations to London Waterloo within the hour. The M3 lies just to the north, accessed via the Blackwater Valley link road and the A3 shortly to the east. There is an excellent choice of both state and private local schools to choose from. The house is adjacent at the rear to fields and there is excellent access from here to extensive areas of countryside, commonland and National Trust lands, providing superb opportunities for walking, riding and country pursuits.
