Wilsons Road, Headley Down, Hampshire, GU35

Attractive character cottage offering modern and flexible family accommodation in a quiet residential position with large level garden and home office to the rear.

Situated on a quiet residential road within a plot in excess of 150 ft, with the wonderful west-facing garden extending over 100 ft.

This Victorian cottage has plenty of charm on offer; built in 1896 and believed to be one of the earliest properties in Headley Down, it offers thoroughly modern accommodation within and has clearly been a well-loved home.

To the front of the house a walled patio area has been created with steps to the front door, a low maintenance area for a bistro set or pots of seasonal flowers which will perfectly accompany the mature purple Wisteria in situ. To the side is driveway parking leading up to a store area (former garage).

An attractive pitched triple aspect entrance porch provides an ideal shelter for guests before being welcomed into the reception hall (with WC).

A living room/snug can be found at the front of the house; flooded with morning sun this is a great space in which to start the day, or find cooler shade in the heat of a summers evening. Centrally there is an enchanting ornamental fireplace with a decorative surround and stone hearth.

A more formal sitting room can be found behind it; ideal for daily family life, with a log burning stove and a wide opening to a dual aspect dining room with a glass ceiling and full-width window. Collectively these make a great entertaining space.

The kitchen has been extended to provide a modern L-shaped kitchen/breakfast room with patio doors to garden. A large corner breakfast bar offers space to dine, read the paper or scroll through social media whilst cooking takes place in the background. A particular feature is the alcove within which sits a 6 ring range cooker. There is an excellent range of drawer and cupboard storage (including a side storage area fitted with full-length/height cupboards) plus integrated wine fridge, dishwasher and microwave. There is further space for a washing machine, tumble dryer and American style fridge freezer.

Moving to the first floor there are four bedrooms and a family bathroom (with both bath and separate shower). The master bedroom is a good sized double with a large walk-in cupboard, formerly an ensuite with excellent potential to convert back if desired.

Within the garden a former out building has been converted to provide a superb home office with under floor heating, power and wi-fi plus bespoke built in storage and space for two desks. This building would equally make an ideal gym, hobby room; garden lounge or teenage den.

The gardens are an absolute delight, enjoying sun throughout the day and into the evening with three patio areas; the circular patio perfect for breakfast, the vine covered pergola patio ideal for lunch and the patio adjacent to the house well suited for long leisurely evening dining and entertaining. The remainder of the garden is predominantly laid to lawn with mature well stocked borders. The raised sleeper beds towards the end benefit from a built in irrigation system. The rear portion of the garden is currently designed for a young family featuring a wooden cabin and a wood chip play surface. A large storage shed is also located here; a gate adjacent to it opens to a further space/store area tucked away behind the shed, an ideal area for the working bits of the garden no one wants to see!

Location: Wilsons Road is a quiet residential road offering a mixture of old and new properties which are predominantly detached. A few doors down is a lane to a small (little known) green, which is great for sledging on in the winter, King George V Green, whilst a few local shops are within a couple of minutes walk from the top of the road.

Headley Down itself is an attractive rural predominantly residential area, within easy reach of many acres of National Trust common, ideal for walking and riding including Ludshott Common, Arford Common and the more recently formed Headley Down Nature Reserve. In the immediate vicinity is a small convenience store, fuel station and take away. A newsagent and small delicatessen can be found in Headley village. Just a short walk on from Ludshott Common towards Grayshott is Applegarth, a restaurant, farm shop and cookery school.

A wider range of services and shops can be found in Grayshott, whilst high street shopping and mainline stations can be found at Haslemere and Farnham. Access to the A3 with motorway style connections to London, the South Coast and both London Airports is within a few miles.

Also nearby is access to a fantastic selection of private and state schools. Close by are The Holme Primary in Headley, Grayshott Primary, and St Johns in Churt, as well as two superb secondary schools in Bohunt and Woolmer Hill.
Details of private schools are available on request.
