House For Sale £1,350,000
This charming detached family home is set in an enviable location within Fernhurst village.
Dating in parts to the 18th Century, this character cottage comprises spacious accommodation, as well as an abundance of character features throughout. Reception space is predominantly offered via the 18ft sitting room, which has a feature gas wood-burning stove in addition to the mains gas central heating throughout and offers triple aspect to allow a wealth of natural light to fill the room. There is a family room/study which has an open fire and a large window which enjoys views to the rear garden, and a modern conservatory with under-floor heating and air-conditioning. The property also has the benefit of a 24ft kitchen/breakfast room which has been fitted in a "country kitchen" style with space for all the usual appliances, and which incorporates dual-aspect windows to the front and rear of the property. There is a separate utility room and a ground floor bathroom.
The master bedroom is, in our opinion, a key feature to this home. Steps lead down from the landing to the well-proportioned room which offers dual aspect views over the garden, and a wide range of built-in wardrobe and storage cupboards. There is a shower room next door which could possibly be reconfigured to become an en-suite to the main bedroom. There are three further bedrooms and a family bathroom which complete the accommodation.
Set within approximately 0.26 acres of landscaped gardens, the plot has been lovingly cared for over the years and has many mature trees and plants which give a wide variety of form and colour to the garden. Adjacent to the property is a terrace area ideal for entertaining or al fresco dining. Parking is offered by way of a driveway, providing space for several vehicles. From the driveway is a double garage. The space above the garage has been utilised to create a studio and is accessed via steps up from the garden.
Located within the village of Fernhurst which is surrounded by wonderful undulating countryside on the Surrey/West Sussex border, an unspoilt area of outstanding natural beauty within the South Downs National Park. Fernhurst provides a selection of shops, a church, primary school, doctors' surgery, village hall and the highly regarded Red Lion pub. The picturesque village green creates the quintessential English setting, and is a hive of activity; there are tennis, football, and cricket clubs in addition to the numerous activities occurring throughout the year.
More comprehensive shopping facilities are available in the nearby towns of Haslemere, Midhurst and Petworth, as well as the county town of Guildford, which is easily accessed via the A3. Haslemere mainline station, which is a short drive away, provides services into London Waterloo in approximately 56 minutes. Within the area there is an excellent range of schools, including: St Edmund's, the Royal Junior School and Amesbury at Hindhead, The Royal Senior School and St Ives in Haslemere, Brookham and Highfield at Liphook, as well as Bedales and Churcher's College in Petersfield.
Sporting facilities are superb, with racing at Goodwood and Fontwell, polo at Cowdray Park and sailing at Chichester harbour.
One of the other key benefits of this property is its location. The surrounding countryside offers an extensive array of footpaths and bridleways, and is conveniently located for the notable villages of Lickfold and Lurgashall less than ten minutes' drive away.
Furthermore, the hamlet of Henley, home of the nationally renowned The Duke of Cumberland pub, is also a short drive away.
