Copyhold Lane, Haslemere, GU27

With uninterrupted views across the South Downs and a sizeable two-acre plot located along a quiet country lane, Coast & Country by Henry Adams present ‘Friday Hill Cottage’ a true one-off. Originally built in 1880’s, this attractive red-brick late-Victorian home has been thoughtfully renovated from top to bottom — stylish, elegant and full of warmth.

Inside, the layout flows beautifully. The original drawing room has been extended and reimagined as a spectacular open-plan kitchen/dining/living space. It’s a showstopper: big on light, big on views, and effortlessly sociable making it perfect for modern family life. There’s a large island unit, sleek stone worktops, quality appliances and bi-fold doors that pull the whole countryside in.

Elsewhere on the ground floor, you’ll find a large reception room divided by log-burner with one end of the room making a cosy study and the other an inviting sitting room, a snug, a handy utility room, cloakroom and a brilliant cellar — ideal as a games room, reading room or wine store.

Upstairs, two bedrooms have been used to create an impressive principal suite and dressing room. Spacious, bright and perfectly positioned to take in the far-reaching views, it’s a calm, luxurious space with a fabulous en suite which includes a freestanding bath that overlooks the gardens and rolling hills beyond. There are two further double bedrooms, each full of character, along with a stylish family bathroom. The dressing room could be easily converted back into a bedroom.

Gardens, Grounds & Outbuildings

Outside, the gardens and grounds extend to just over two acres, with a ha-ha separating the lawn from the gently sloping paddock. The views are genuinely breathtaking — shifting with the seasons and stretching for miles. There’s a wooded section down the right-hand boundary and gives a buffer to the A286, perfect for shade, privacy or hide-and-seek.

A standout feature is the range of detached outbuildings, which open up a world of possibilities. A beautifully converted coach house offers flexible self-contained accommodation (ideal for guests, work or creative space), while a double garage, separate studio and another garage/store offer plenty of room for hobbies, storage or working from home.

Location:

Friday Hill Cottage sits in a remarkable spot, just outside the village of Fernhurst and around 3.5 miles from Haslemere. You’ve got village essentials close by; a shop, café, pub, primary school and a friendly community, while Haslemere offers a great mix of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and a mainline station with fast trains into London Waterloo (from 49 minutes). Outdoor life here is exceptional. A public footpath at the end of the lane leads straight onto National Trust land and up to Blackdown, the highest point in the South Downs. Whether it’s walking, riding or cycling, this is country living at its best. And if you’re into racing, polo or golf, you’re within easy reach of Cowdray Park, Goodwood and several top golf clubs.
