Telegraph Lane, Four Marks, GU34

A superb family house with four bedrooms and generous living accommodation occupying a tranquil village location in gardens and grounds of in all about 0.5 of an acre. The house has been thoughtfully extended to create a very flexible village home and take full advantage of the setting and lovely views. The generous living accommodation is set off a spacious reception hall and includes a stunning kitchen/dining room extending to 28'2/8.5m with a gas stove and bi-fold doors opening out to the terrace. An ideally positioned sitting room is set off the kitchen/dining room (also with a connecting door to the hall) and provides an ideal layout for everyday living. The kitchen is set around an island and fitted with a range of cabinets, twin ovens and microwave, induction hob with extractor over and an integrated dishwasher. There is also a ground floor cloakroom and a utility/boot room with a door to the garden and a canopy and hot wash area. There are two bedrooms to the first floor and a shower room. In addition, there is a large walk-in loft space with potential to create a fifth bedroom (subject to the necessary consents). There are two further bedrooms to the ground floor (together with an en suite bathroom) providing additional space and flexibility for everyday family living.

Importantly, the property has been further improved over recent years with the fitting of a new new boiler (2017) and hot water cylinder as well as insulation boards in the loft and external improvements including fascia boards and guttering (2019) and the careful landscaping of the gardens and grounds (which also included additional external lighting and electric gates).

Outside

The property is set within landscaped grounds extending to approximately half an acre and offering a wonderful sense of space and privacy. The well-tended gardens and grounds are predominantly laid to lawn with mature mixed hedging, established borders, railway sleepers, vegetable garden and wildlife pond creating an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining and adventure! A paved terrace provides a perfect outdoor seating area with fine views over the garden to the adjoining farmland beyond. The property is approached via a pair of electric five bar gates and a shingle driveway. Of note, the property owns the driveway from the lane. The driveway provides ample space for parking and access to the double garage (with power and light). To the front, there is an area of concrete hard standing that would enable the creation of additional garden store/outbuilding.
