Headley Road, Grayshott, Hampshire, GU26

Three bedroom character house with two storey detached double garage. All situated within level grounds of over 0.8 acres close to national trust woodlands. Offered with no onward chain having been a family home for four decades.

Designed by the architect Baillie Scott, son of a Scottish aristocrat, and built in the 1930's this is a home of charm and character within flattering and serene level gardens.

It's many features are the reason the house has been in the ownership of the current owners for some 40 years. Having been a fantastic family home, it is now ready to be re-imagined by a new family to create a legacy home for another 40 years! The options for modernisation and extension STPP allowing so many opportunities.

The grounds are spacious and there may be potential for another dwelling to be investigated, but as they are they provide a generous backdrop for family life with gardens and woodland to be explored.

Mature hedging at the front provides a high degree of screening with the entrance to the drive tucked into a corner of the plot. The driveway sweeps in to approach the house and garage with plenty of off road parking available. A well-tended front garden is mainly laid to lawn with mature shrubs and trees as well as formal borders.

The garage itself is an absolute gem and could be converted to provide further formal accommodation if desired, subject to the usual constraints. In its current configuration the ground floor benefits from a double garage with utility room behind. Stairs lead up to the 1st floor which has a wc and two semi-open plan office areas.

Moving to the main house there are a number of charming character features such as the wooden front door and arched leaded hallway windows, but it offers modern accommodation throughout, all be it some of it needs a little refreshment.

Proudly positioned at the front of the house is a dual aspect sitting room with feature fireplace (gas fire currently). Immediately behind it is currently bedroom 3; a double room with built in vanity sink unit. A ground floor shower room accessed off of the hallway adjoins this room making it a perfect en suite partner to the bedroom. But demonstrating versatility, this bedroom would also make an ideal study or family room.

The dining room and kitchen both overlook the rear garden, with doors from both onto a large conservatory. Combined they make a great entertaining area, or the hub of a family home. The conservatory on it's own is a statement room; with so much natural light flooding in and panoramic views over the garden.

The kitchen itself is triple aspect with extensive built in drawer and cupboard storage and several integrated appliances.

Moving to the first floor there is are two bedrooms; the master benefitting from a dual aspect and built in wardrobes flanking one wall, with bedroom two enjoying garden views. Completing the accommodation is a family bathroom with spa corner bath.

The gardens to the rear of this property are an absolute delight. A large patio adjoins the conservatory and kitchen, with a deep lawn extending away from the house. Toward the end of the lawn a summerhouse can be found; with a rotating base this can follow the sun around the garden, and if rumours are true it has a fascinating history!
Sitting at the end of the lawn is a large ornamental pond and beyond this the gardens extend into light woodland, where two further sheds can be found tucked away. Running the full depth of the garden is another run of lawn (the other side of a hedge) where a former working garden was created. The large fruit cages are still in situ but need some TLC to return them to their former glory!
