Bell Vale Lane, HASLEMERE, GU27

The Stables is a substantial family house, built in around 1983 and located in an exceptional setting towards the end of Bell Vale Lane with stunning outlook over its own beautifully established landscaped gardens.
Internally, the accommodation is spacious and bright with the principal living rooms having a southerly aspect. The kitchen/breakfast room is an excellent size. It is fitted with an extensive range of storage units, granite work surfaces, 2 dishwashers, 2 fridge-freezers, and an Aga, as well as electric oven and hob. A sensational orangery adjoins the kitchen and overlooks the south facing sun terrace. The orangery features three sets of French doors and a log burning stove. It combines perfectly with the kitchen to provide fabulous informal family living space, flooded with natural light, and so well connected to the garden.
The main sitting room is equally well-proportioned, also overlooks and has French doors out to the sun terrace, and has a notable fireplace with another log burning stove. An inner hall, separate tv sitting room, a study with access to a wine cellar, a separate laundry room, and a guest cloakroom/wc complete the ground floor.
Upstairs, the main bedroom has plenty of fitted wardrobes and a luxurious ensuite bath and shower room. There are 4 further bedrooms, one of which has an ensuite bath and shower room, one of which has a balcony, and there's a family bath and shower room.

Outside

Close by, but detached from the main house, a substantial secondary building provides significant ancillary space. It comprises a beautiful indoor swimming pool complex with separate Jacuzzi; Garaging; a 4 room Annexe with a shower room; and a self-contained 1 bedroom Cottage, ideal for guests or extended family.

The house is approached through secure electrically operated gates and a wide gravel drive with parking for several vehicles.
The gardens lie predominantly to the south with 2 natural lakes to the east and west. A substantial stone paved sun terrace, with an ornamental pond and raised planted flower beds, faces south and is adjacent to the house. There are lovely views towards the lower lake/pond where there is a delightful breeze house and a weeping willow. The gardens are bordered by well-established hedges and oak trees which add to the great privacy and seclusion of this outstandingly peaceful setting.
The upper lake is larger with a wooden jetty, and a cabin, looking west across the lake towards the garden. Beyond lies an area of light woodland, and a fenced pasture with a field shelter and store. In the past this land has been used as both a paddock, and a vineyard. In all there are about 7 acres.
