3 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

One of a pair of lodge cottages, each being individually sold. The Cottage, which is believed to date from the early 1900s, is attached to The Lodge and is the original gatehouse positioned at the head of the long private driveway, leading up to the country estate of Busbridge Lakes House. Whilst The Cottage has been well looked after by our clients, it now offers scope for further improvement and updating.
To the back of The Cottage are some store rooms and there is also a single garage approached through a separate entrance off the Hambledon Road.
The property is approached through an impressive brick-pillared entrance belonging to Busbridge Lakes House, with a brick wall wrapping around the front (eastern side) of the gardens. The gardens are principally laid to lawn with seating areas, complemented by flower and shrub borders. The land to the rear extends up into a light copse area.
Services: We are advised by our clients that the property has mains water and electricity. The Cottage and The Lodge share cesspit drainage located on the neighbouring estate's field. The Cottage has LPG heating.

Planning
Our clients have obtained independent planning advice and whilst it would seem obvious that the two houses should be amalgamated into one dwelling, the advice received is that this is unlikely due to the current Waverley Borough Council planning policies.
Flying Freehold
There is a flying freehold between the two properties. Part of the bedroom accommodation of The Cottage extends over the kitchen and bathroom of The Lodge. Please check with your lender (if required) that they are happy to lend in this regard.
