House For Sale £2,250,000
Rooks Hill is a substantial late Victorian house located in the heart of Frensham, set in an elevated position with the most wonderful views to the south over the village. It was built by Andrew Chuter & Sons, a renowned local building firm.
Our clients have owned the house for over 40 years and prior to that, it was owned by the village doctor, who held his surgeries in the house. It is therefore only available for the second time in close to 90 years.
The house has retained all the hallmarks of its era with wonderfully lofty ceilings, working fireplaces, a substantial staircase up to the second floor, old brick and ornate tiled floors and a cellar. Whilst our clients have made additions and alterations to the house, it now offers an incoming buyer the opportunity to adapt it to their requirements.
Integral to the house is a double garage. There is also a former coal store, three stores on the lower southern side, which were formerly used to house the pony and trap, a garden shed and a greenhouse.
Rooks Hill is approached into a paved driveway with an electric gate, which extends up to a substantial gravelled driveway to the back of the house and garage.
To the front, the boundaries are defined by low decorative walls, with an expanse of lawn, with well stocked flower and shrub borders. There is also, discretely tucked away, an ironstone footpath leading down to the road.
To the rear, the gardens extend up to the tennis court with a series of levels of lawned areas, interspersed with extensive and mature trees and shrubs including azaleas, rhododendrons, cistus, deutzia and magnolia, providing an array of colour through the seasons. Tucked in one corner is the fruit/ vegetable garden and a garden store.
Tenure: Freehold
Services: We are advised by our clients that the property has mains water, electricity and drainage and gas central heating.
