Description
Barn Cottage is a striking country house that, we are advised by our clients, dates back to the end of the 19th century and which we are advised was built out of materials from period cottages from Dunsfold. The property has been in the same ownership since 1957, was extended in the 1930s and now provides an incoming buyer with the opportunity to place their mark on it.
Over 100 years old, it possesses many period features including exposed beams, a mixture of tiled, parquet and wooden boarded floors, beautiful oak doors, extensive fireplaces and some oak windows plus a south facing rear porch.
When the house was built, thought was given to the positioning of the principal
rooms and the house has a glorious south-facing outlook over the grounds and
unspoilt countryside beyond.
OUTBUILDINGS
On the eastern side of the house are a range of wooden outbuildings comprising: the playroom, the woodshed, the mower shed and the double garage. To the rear of these are also lean to sheds, in addition to a greenhouse.
In the western corner of the grounds, beyond the tennis court is the coach house/stables.
GARDEN AND GROUNDS
Barn Cottage is approached into a gravelled driveway that swings through double gates, that culminates in a turning circle to the front of the house. On the other side of the house is a stone terrace. Extending away, the wide expanse of lawns extends in a southerly direction to the hard tennis court and down to the estate fencing with the paddock and orchard beyond. Within the orchard are damson, apple, plum and pear. The gardens and grounds, described above, amount to 8.9 acres.
There is 66.9 acres of woodland known as Birchen Copse that lie to the south of Barn Cottage comprising predominantly oak woodland, with many open tracks providing a wonderful environment to walk, ride and cycle. This has a separate entrance out onto the Dunsfold Road.
LOT 2 - THE BUNGALOW - This is available by separate negotiation at a guide of £170,000.
This is located on the eastern side of the house of a brick and timber construction.
We are advised that the current tenant and his family, who have previously been in the employment of our clients, have lived in this bungalow since the late 1980s.
Knight Frank holds a copy of Counsel's opinion on behalf of our clients, as to the current tenancy status. We are happy to provide this to any interested party.
The bungalow comprises two reception rooms, two interconnecting bedrooms
and a bathroom. Adjacent is a more recently built garage/workshop.
The Bungalow sits within a screened garden with water features and a shed.
Services: We are advised by our clients that the property has mains water,
electricity, oil-fired central heating to both Barn Cottage and The Bungalow on
independent tanks. Barn Cottage and The Bungalow currently share a sewage
treatment plant and the water supply. We understand that our clients will
investigate creating separate water supplies if required.
Rights of Ways: There is a footpath that passes across the driveway of Lot 1 that then leads into the woodland. This footpath then passes through the woodland in an east westerly direction back onto the highway.
