Description

Old Kennel Cottage is a beautifully decorated and designed house located in a superb position in the quintessential village of Dunsfold. Originally dating from the 17th century the property has a wealth of retained character and period features whilst offering contemporary living. The house has been extensively refurbished to the highest standard by the current owners with the addition of a spectacular modern extension complete with stylish interiors and a luxurious finish throughout.

With the house approached through electronic gates and gravel driveway you are immediately struck by a sense of arrival with the exceptional gardens offering great privacy in this relaxed setting. There is ample parking for cars as well as garaging at both front and rear of the house. The welcoming entrance hall with flagstone flooring, original beams and a custom built staircase leads to the two main reception rooms comprising a comfortable sitting room, presented in a traditional cottage style with Inglenook fireplace, leading to the larger reception room which doubles up as a cinema room.

The kitchen/breakfast room is exceptional with its bespoke cabinetry, quartz worktops, central island and breakfast bar complemented by integrated Miele appliances and a Sub Zero fridge freezer. There is a relaxed informal seating area along with ample space to dine and entertain. Sliding doors open onto the rear terrace and garden with uninterrupted views across neighbouring farmland. A well designed utility room with plentiful storage can be found to the rear of the kitchen.

A particular feature of this exquisite home is the glass addition which extends from the kitchen leading to a third spacious and light sitting room with hidden walk in storage room. This fabulous style has been continued in the design of the versatile home office, filled with light and enjoying a pleasant aspect.

To the first floor is the main bedroom with delightful garden views, built-in wardrobes and a generous en suite with twin sinks, bathtub and a large walk in rainfall shower. There are three further bedrooms (two of which connect), served by two beautifully appointed bath/shower rooms.

The landscaped gardens have been meticulously planned and offer excellent privacy. There is a generous raised terrace with steps down to the lawn. The gardens are framed by colourful borders, mature trees and post and rail fencing. The gardens at Old Kennel Cottage lend themselves to entertaining in the summer months, of note is the charming rustic seating area with wood fired pizza oven.

There is a well maintained tennis court located in a tucked away position and the grounds offer scope for a swimming pool, subject to relevant planning permissions.
