House For Sale £835,000
With utterly picturesque large gardens, idyllic vistas and an enviable setting in a prized private lane, this is a quintessential period home with a wealth of character. Beautifully styled, blending oak floors with encaustic patterns, column radiators and rustic brick fireplaces, an exceptional interior has three stunning reception rooms and a bespoke kitchen with the charm of a split stable-style door. Four outstanding bedrooms share a tasteful yet contemporary bathroom, while outside a summer house and detached garaging are prized additions. Within easy reach of Haslemere high street, the mainline station and highly regarded schools, an early viewing is strongly recommended to avoid disappointment.
Perfectly placed for scenic walks on Hindhead Common, excellent schools and indulgent afternoons at local spa hotels, Clare Cottage dates back to the 1920s and sits tucked back from a private lane in an elevated position that affords wonderful views. Nestled within breathtakingly beautiful gardens to both the front and rear, it is as exceptionally enchanting on the outside as it is on the inside.
Impeccably presented from top to toe with the rich rustic tones of oak floors and brick fireplaces, a wealth of light filled rooms have an impressively naturally flowing feel. Sympathetically chosen leaded windows and column radiators are just two examples of the attention to detail that flows throughout.
Step inside from an enclosed entrance and you’ll find the oak floors of a notable hallway extending out across the majority of the ground floor and generating a great sense of cohesion to three interconnecting reception rooms. With natural light tumbling in from a duo of windows, the inviting sitting room proffers a hugely homely feel with its focal point log burner. Its generous dimensions stretch into the adjoining double aspect family room to create a highly versatile open plan space. Sliding doors tempt you out onto the secluded patio while internal double doors connect with a refined formal dining room that’s equally suited for family meals or evenings with friends. Its double aspect windows allow the landscaped frontage to add a leafy backdrop, and a wrought iron fireplace and elegant cornicing are reminders of its heritage.
Designed to offer every convenience to a busy modern household, a bespoke oak kitchen is supremely well appointed with impeccably crafted Shaker cabinets. The etched grooves of its sleek black countertops flow into an under-mounted sink, its layout accommodates a range cooker and a split stable-style door to the patio adds to the cottage charm. A cloakroom completes the ground floor.
The commendable aesthetics and wonderful outlooks continue upstairs where a central hallway with a picture perfect fireplace and fitted bookcases opens onto four excellent bedrooms. Each and every one echoes the calm and restful air that features throughout and together they have ample flexibility to incorporate a home office or dressing room if needed. A tremendous double aspect main bedroom has an exposed brick fireplace of its own, while a tastefully chosen modern bathroom adds the perfect finishing touch with the fabulous encaustic patterns of its tiled floor. A floating basin sits against a wood panelled wall, while sizable windows provide more of those picturesque vistas.
Outside
Discreetly hidden away and accessed via a private lane, Clare Cottage instantly commands your attention with the exemplary landscaping of its capacious frontage. Classically retained by oak railway sleepers, the established lawns of its broad tiers are framed by clipped Buxus while the boughs of a feature tree lend dappled shade to a selection of flowering shrubs. Borders of high conifers and hedging enhance the degree of privacy and seclusion, and a sweeping brick paved driveway combines with detached garaging to supply off-road parking for several vehicles.
Step out from the kitchen or family room into the tranquillity of a paved patio that’s a heavenly hideaway from the hubbub of the day. Ideally sized for a peaceful morning coffee, it gives you every excuse to take a stroll in the sunshine and explore the enviable tiers that rise up before you. Set to the backdrop of abundant greenery, timber framed steps and planters peppered with seasonal colour guide the way to a paved terrace that’s perfect for al fresco dining. Above this a further lawn has space for children to play and a pretty summer house is a peaceful haven at any time of the day or year.
