Hale House Lane, Churt, Farnham, Surrey GU10

Creel House dates back to 1936 and has been in the same ownership for the last 25 years. During their ownership, our clients have beautifully maintained and improved the house.
There are two formal reception rooms, with the drawing room having a stone fireplace and a wood burning stove and the dining room has a bow window overlooking the gardens. The heart of the house is the kitchen/breakfast room,
with painted Shaker style units, mains gas Aga and a lovely outlook onto the neighbouring valley field below.
In addition, on the ground floor is the family room, office and a cloakroom, which offer huge potential to create an annexe, subject to obtaining the usual planning consents.
On the first floor are a total of five bedrooms. Adjacent to the principal bedroom is the dressing room, which with alterations, has the potential of being used as an en suite bath/shower room. In addition to the family bathroom is the ‘Jack and Jill’ shower room, shared between two bedrooms.
OUTBUILDINGS
Integral to the house is the garage and to the rear is the garden room, which is currently used as a gym with an adjoining storeroom.
There is also a garden shed, greenhouse and a range of garden stores. Adjacent to the swimming pool, is the pool room and a pool boiler house with the gas fired boiler and the workings for the pool.
GARDEN AND GROUNDS
Creel House is approached through a 5-bar gate onto a tarmacadam driveway, flanked by lawns and well-stocked shrub borders, that leads down to the front of the house. The driveway then continues into the ‘working part’ of the gardens, providing further parking.
On the southern side of the house is a substantial terraced area, flanked by stone retaining walls with an abundance of lavender, with the formal lawns beyond, extending down to a magnificent cedar. In the western corner, is the heated swimming pool set in a private sun trap area. The southern boundary is defined by a brick wall with a field beyond. The eastern boundary which has an abundance of wild flowers, overlooks a neighbouring field. The gardens are all well maintained, interspersed with well stocked flower and shrub borders, incorporating rhododendrons, azaleas, hydrangeas, magnolias and roses.
On the northern side of the house is the less formal grassed area that has been used as a small football pitch and play area with trampoline and swings. It could take a tennis court. Located here is the garden shed, greenhouse, raised beds and garden stores.
