Gentles Lane, Passfield, Liphook, Hampshire, GU30

A stunning contemporary detached home, recently converted and set in just over an acre of private, peaceful rural grounds

Twin Pines is a truly unique home, recently and extensively remodelled to create an exceptional contemporary residence in a glorious, private rural setting. Approached via an unmade country lane, double gates open onto a driveway that crosses sweeping front lawns to an extensive parking and turning area.

A commanding timber entrance porch leads into a spacious and welcoming reception hall, which in turn opens to the rest of this stunning home.

At its heart is a magnificent principal reception space beneath a vaulted ceiling, arranged in three distinct zones. Full width double-glazed sliding doors open onto the rear garden and adjoining sun deck, and when fully opened the whole room flows directly outside, creating a wonderful indoor-outdoor connection and excellent potential for hosting. Further double-glazed doors and windows to the side add to the light and sense of space. The bespoke in-frame shaker kitchen is made from solid wood, hand-made and hand-painted. It features extensive worktops, a double farmhouse sink, generous range of cupboards and drawers including double pantry, and an island unit with breakfast bar and built-in space for appliances. It blends seamlessly with the dining and living areas, making this a superb space for both comfortable family life and entertaining. A utility room provides a second farmhouse sink, cupboards and work surfaces, along with a concealed but generous cloaks cupboard.

On the opposite side of the reception hall are two spacious double bedrooms. The principal bedroom suite enjoys the same garden views as the main reception room, with sliding doors opening outside to a private decking area, and a walk-through dressing room leading to a luxuriously appointed en suite bathroom. The second bedroom is a large double with a feature pitched window overlooking the front lawns and its own luxurious en suite shower room. To the front of the property is a final large room, offering flexibility for a family room, office or spacious third bedroom.

Beautifully presented throughout and finished to a high standard, the home benefits from double-glazed windows with premium noise-cancelling and thermal efficiency, uprated insulation, as well as fully zoned underfloor heating via a highly efficient air-source heat pump.

Outside, the generous plot offers a peaceful and secluded rural setting that is nonetheless conveniently placed. The sweeping Cotswold Buff stone driveway meets the house with a generous parking area, before extending down the side of the house towards the rear, where the gardens have recently been landscaped.

The gardens provide a private sanctuary, a Larchwood decked terrace adjoins the house with considered drought-tolerant planting and an attractive Larchwood wall. Steps or a gentle slope lead to further expansive lawn, a large shed/workshop with log-store and three established raised allotment beds. The back garden is well screened by mature shrubs, bushes and trees which, together with fencing and raised banks, provide excellent privacy.

Location

Twin Pines enjoys the best of both worlds: a tranquil, private position surrounded by open countryside, yet within easy reach of everyday amenities. The village of Liphook is close by, with its shops, services and well-regarded schools, including Liphook Infant School, Liphook Junior School and Bohunt School for secondary education. Twin Pines is located just 10 minutes from Liphook station and 20 minutes from Farnham station. Both mainline stations offer direct services to London Waterloo in around an hour, making this a practical base for commuters.
For those who love the outdoors, the surrounding landscape is a real draw. Footpaths, bridleways and quiet country lanes lead from the area, and some of the region’s best-loved National Trust countryside are on the doorstep, including the heathland of Bramshott and Ludshott Commons, the tranquil, wooded lakes at Waggoners Wells and the dramatic natural amphitheatre of the Devil’s Punch Bowl at Hindhead, with its far-reaching views and café. The South Downs National Park is also within easy reach. Haslemere, Grayshott and Farnham are all nearby, providing further shopping, restaurants, cafés and leisure facilities. The A3 at Bramshott is just 2 miles away, giving swift access to Guildford, London, both London airports and the wider motorway network.

A unique contemporary home, recently and extensively remodelled and improved, Twin Pines must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
