Thursley Road, Churt, Farnham, Surrey

Stream Cottage is a delightful period property set within extensive grounds with stables, occupying an idyllic streamside position amid the woodland and countryside of Hankley Common. Its attractive painted brick and tiled elevations sit beneath a distinctive terracotta-tiled roof, while inside, exposed timber beams, original fireplaces and other character details create a warm and inviting country home with a wonderfully tranquil setting.

The generous drawing room provides an impressive centrepiece for family living, with exposed timber beams overhead and a handsome fireplace featuring its original timber lintel. Flooded with natural light, the room has doors opening onto both the front and rear gardens, creating a strong connection with the surrounding grounds. Adjoining is a formal dining room, while a bright garden room features south-facing French windows and views across the gardens. The ground floor also includes a shower room, useful storage space and a well-appointed kitchen and breakfast room with fitted base and wall units and space for a range of appliances.

Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms, all enjoying views across the gardens towards the tranquil woodland and parkland beyond. Each bedroom benefits from fitted cupboard or eaves storage, while the principal bedroom also has its own washbasin. The first floor is completed by a family bathroom and a study, providing useful space for home working and accessed through one of the bedrooms.

The cottage is approached through gates onto a gravel driveway leading to the house and detached carport. The gardens are a particular feature, with rolling lawns gently divided by the stream, mature specimen trees and a large grassy paddock. A stable complex provides useful facilities for equestrian activities, while the extensive grounds create an exceptional sense of peace and privacy, surrounded by the natural beauty of the woodland and countryside.

The property is wonderfully situated in a peaceful position on the edge of Hankley Common and close to the popular village of Churt. The rural location and tranquil setting is a particular feature of the property, with its views across the surrounding countryside, but it is also convenient to local market towns. Within the village of Churt there are several local amenities – a village shop and newsagent, church, village hall, highly-regarded infant school and cricket ground. Farnham, Haslemere and Grayshott offer a broader range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities, with the larger centres of Guildford, Basingstoke and Winchester close by. There is an excellent choice of schools in the area. Mainline stations at Farnham, Haslemere and Milford. The A3 and M3 which link with the M25 and the south coast are a short drive away.
