House For Sale £1,450,000
A unique, fully refurbished character home with eco features.
Description
School House represents an exceptional period home combining character charm with a high specification modern finish. The current owners have carried out a complete refurbishment of the property in 2017-2018 including a fabulous kitchen extension, garage conversion and extensive work to the exterior and gardens.
School House boasts a number of eco features including 12 solar panels which generate approximately 25-30% of the property’s electricity requirements per annum. The property has underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, triple glazing and an air source heat pump. There is an electric car charging point for 3 vehicles.
The ground floor is ideally suited to families with flexible living space. The kitchen / breakfast room is very much the heart of the home and has a luxurious contemporary finish with a central island, modern cabinetry, built-in appliances. The exposed stone from the original part of the house is an attractive feature and there is ample space to dine and entertain. Sliding doors run the length of the room with access on to the terrace and garden beyond.
Measuring over 22 ft, the sitting room is located off the kitchen and filled with natural light, bespoke shelving and a glass covered well. Off the kitchen is a utility room and separate boiler cupboard with stairs down to a versatile home gym / library and to a comfortable cinema room with projector. There is a shower room on this level and stairs up to bedroom number four. With a separate entrance to this area it could easily be used as an annexe.
On the first floor, the principal bedroom is a memorable space with vaulted ceiling, exposed brick, a freestanding bath tub and a beautiful southerly view over the garden and across fields beyond. There is a walk in dressing room that leads to a well appointed en suite. There are two further bedrooms on this floor along with the family bathroom. Bedroom five can be found on the ground floor with access to a second shower room across the hall.
Outside, the gardens are truly wonderful with a gently sloping lawn with well stocked borders and flowering beds.
There is car parking at the front of the house for numerous cars.
Location
School House is situated in Shackleford, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There is a village shop and Post Office, run by the local community, whilst a wider choice of shops and services is available at Godalming and Guildford.
Shackleford benefits from excellent communications, with the A31 providing a direct route to Farnham and the West Country, whilst the A3 provides a direct route to London and Portsmouth and, via the M25, easy access to the airports and the national motorway network. Rail communications are also excellent, with mainline stations at Farncombe, Godalming and Guildford offering fast and frequent services into London Waterloo.
There is an excellent selection of schools in the area, including Aldro, Barrow Hills, Charterhouse, Prior’s Field, St Catherine’s, King Edward’s and Cranleigh.
Recreational opportunities include sport and leisure centres at Guildford and Godalming and the surrounding area offers a wide variety of countryside for walking, cycling and riding.
