Elstead Road, Seale, Farnham, Surrey, GU10

A charming detached period home full of character and set within 0.8 acres of beautifully established gardens in a sought after village setting.

Description

Owls Hatch is an attractive and characterful detached home offering over 2,250 sq ft of accommodation, constructed of stone elevations beneath a tiled roof and occupying a delightful position adjoining and overlooking Estate owned fields with beautiful views, and wonderful landscaped gardens.

The property enjoys a private yet accessible setting and offers a lovely blend of traditional charm and well proportioned accommodation.

The ground floor features a welcoming entrance hall leading to a series of elegant reception rooms. The living room is an inviting space, filled with natural light from a wide bay window overlooking the gardens and complemented by exposed beams and a feature fireplace. A separate dining room provides an excellent setting for formal entertaining, while an additional study or family room, with built in cabinetry and a door opening to the garden, offers flexibility for home working, playroom use, or quieter relaxation.

The kitchen is well arranged and fitted with a range of cabinetry and an Aga, enjoying views over the garden and access to the downstairs cloakroom. While perfectly functional, the kitchen offers clear scope for enhancement or reconfiguration (subject to the necessary consents), presenting an opportunity for incoming owners to tailor the space to their own tastes.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom enjoys a delightful double aspect with views across the garden. There are three further bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a separate shower room. All bedrooms benefit from built in storage, and bedroom four features a charming fireplace.

Outside, the south facing, partly walled gardens are a true highlight, laid predominantly to lawn with established trees, shrubs, and well stocked borders providing colour and interest throughout the seasons.

A driveway, with scope to provide additional parking and garaging subject to the usual consents, gives access to a detached garage and useful utility room, which together offer excellent storage and parking, while the grounds provide a peaceful and private setting ideal for outdoor enjoyment.

There is a driveway easement across the shared drive allowing access and a parking space.
