Description

Dating from around 1870 and beautifully renovated and extended in recent years, this charming Victorian lodge combines period character with thoughtfully updated accommodation, occupying a delightful position on the edge of Haslemere.

Rich in architectural detail, the property displays attractive red brick elevations, decorative timber framing and impressive chimney stacks, creating a striking first impression.

The welcoming entrance hall leads through to a series of elegant reception rooms that provide excellent versatility for modern family living.

Of particular note is the beautifully proportioned sitting room, featuring a vaulted ceiling with exposed timber trusses, a handsome fireplace with wood-burning stove and a large bay window that floods the space with natural light while framing views of the gardens.

The adjoining dining room offers an ideal setting for formal entertaining, while the cosy snug provides a more intimate retreat. A library/study creates an attractive work-from-home space and complements the separate home office.

The kitchen is well-appointed with an extensive range of fitted cabinetry and workspace, positioned to serve both everyday family life and entertaining.

Beyond, the rear reception space enjoys a wonderful sense of light and connection with the surrounding gardens.

The first floor is arranged around a bright central landing and provides two/ three well-presented bedrooms together with a spacious family bathroom.

The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, featuring a handsome cast-iron fireplace and an adjoining dressing area with extensive fitted wardrobes, formally bedroom three. French doors open directly onto a private balcony.

Bedroom two is a comfortable double room overlooking the gardens.

Outside, the property enjoys a wonderfully private setting, bordered by mature woodland and established planting that creates a peaceful and secluded environment behind the garden wall.

A driveway provides ample parking and leads to a substantial detached garage building, complemented by a separate office/workshop with separate storage area and EV charging point.

The mature gardens are a particular feature, being predominantly laid to level lawn and enclosed by established hedging and brick walling, providing an excellent degree of privacy and seclusion.

A charming gazebo and wood store further enhance the outdoor space, creating an ideal environment for al fresco dining, relaxation and entertaining.

The generous family bathroom is fitted with both a bath and separate shower, serving the accommodation perfectly.
