Description

Set on a plot of just under half an acre and located in a sought-after private road within south Farnham, Monkshanger is an imposing six bedroom Georgian-style property of over 6,000 sq ft with a south-easterly aspect garden. Built approximately four years ago and completed to a high specification by the current owners, the property has been thoughtfully designed for modern family living, all within a mile from Farnham town centre.

The house is approached via automated wrought-iron gates leading on to a driveway with parking for several cars and access to the double garage.

The impressive entrance hall has a sweeping and galleried staircase that rises up through the property to a circular roof light, filling the space with an abundance of natural light. Extra height doors throughout the ground floor maintain the grandeur and light feel. The expansive family Poggenpohl kitchen is well-equipped with integrated Gaggenau cooking appliances and a central island with breakfast bar. The kitchen is open plan to the dining area with three sets of sliding doors giving access to the large outside terrace and views of the garden.

Positioned to the front of the property is a dual aspect reception room with feature fireplace. There is also a study and family room, which is currently being used as a homework room. A downstairs cloakroom and utility room complete the ground floor accommodation.

The first floor comprises the principal bedroom with generous en suite and dressing room. French doors lead out to a terrace overlooking the rear garden. There are three further en suite bedrooms.

The second floor includes two further bedrooms and a shared shower room. A games room spanning the width of the house completes this floor and has fantastic views towards Farnham and the Castle.

The house benefits from Villeroy and Boch sanitaryware and underfloor heating throughout.

Outside, the landscaped garden is mainly laid to lawn with raised borders, fruit and vegetable beds and a large terrace with space for a table and chairs as well as outdoor sofas, making it ideal for entertaining in the warmer summer months. The garden is divided into three levels, with the lower level an ideal space for a children’s play area with an Olympic size sunken trampoline.
