House For Sale £4,800,000
Beautiful country home adjoining National Trust land with wonderful south facing views.
Description
Situated in a quiet residential road of similar properties, Foxhill benefits from a most enviable elevated location with distant views of undulating countryside to the South Downs yet is within walking distance (0.7mile) of Haslemere High Street. Screened by walls from the lane and by mature grounds from adjoining properties this lovely home enjoys a high level of privacy and seclusion whilst benefitting from the convenience of nearby amenities and communications.
Foxhill is understood to date from around 1929 and has been in its current ownership since 2002. Since then, the owners have carried out extensive modernisation and extension. Totally upgraded for 21st century family living, the property offers an ideal opportunity to enjoy stunning family accommodation, wonderful outside living and entertaining space and magnificent rural views all within easy reach of local amenities.
Internally, Foxhill benefits from bright, spacious and airy accommodation with light décor throughout while large south facing windows draw the eye to garden and country views.
Key features added more recently include the superbly generous bespoke kitchen / breakfast / family space by Charter Walk of Haslemere with its useful walk-in larder, large lantern style skylight and French doors to the terrace; the unusually spacious utility/boot room, further WC and the basement air-conditioned wine cellar. Other improvements include the heated outdoor swimming pool and adjoining orangery, floodlit tennis court and new triple garage block
Ideally suited to entertaining, the reception areas are inter-linked allowing ease of circulation and access to the garden terrace and pool. First and second floor accommodation is equally impressive and includes a master suite comprising a spacious bedroom with south facing balcony, walk-in dressing closet and luxuriously appointed bath and shower room. Five further bedrooms, four with ensuite facilities, complete the arrangement and all but one enjoy southerly views.
The owners have also added a new garage block comprising three generous car bays whilst to the rear is a garden store plus a kitchenette and shower room/wc to serve the pool area. Two first floor store rooms are reached via external stairs. Another separate former single garage building serves as a store and also includes a four-person sauna cabin.
Foxhill is approached directly from the road via automatic double gates onto a very spacious gravelled forecourt and turning area adjoining the garage block. A further parking area and service entrance is via a smaller gate along the road. The extensive grounds lie almost entirely to the south and rear of the property with only the pool area and its paved surround to the west. A full width stone-paved terrace extends across the back of the house and is accessed from the breakfast room, dining room and orangery. Beyond the terrace, landscaped gardens comprise gently sloping lawns with adjoining shrub and flower borders and interspersed and bordered by a wide variety of mature trees and shrubs that provide year-round
colour and interest.
Beyond the lawns a path and gate lead down into a wooded valley extending to some six acres of mixed woodland and includes the area where the headwaters of the river Wey rise as some small streams coming off Blackdown. This unspoilt area is a superb habitat and benefits from an interesting range of birds and wildlife. The woodland abuts a public byway that extends into the National Trust woodland that adjoins the property.
