5 bedroom detached house for sale

A substantial detached, period, home having been the subject of complete modernisation and extension of recent years with a detached home office building with first floor maisonette over and standing in approximately 1 acre of private grounds behind its gated entrance.

GENERAL: This exceptional property has been the subject of complete renovation and improvement during our clients ownership. The former garaging has been developed to accommodate a ground floor office suite with staff wc and kitchenette with external staircase to the private maisonette above which includes a large living room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and dressing room. The main house has been completely transformed and now enjoys a fabulous open plan kitchen/family/dining room. The kitchen area has been skilfully designed and creates a modern well appointed area with triple aspect and doors to the rear terrace. The living room is again generous and enjoys large picture windows taking in the views across the terrace and beyond. A games room has been created currently housing a full size snooker table and adjacent doors open to the bar/study area. The bedrooms are all double in size with the master bedroom suite enjoying high ceilings and views from its dressing area and large en-suite shower room with full size walk in cubicle which, like the family bathroom and family shower room, have been finished to a high end. The whole property has a luxury feel from the moment you enter the reception hall and does little to disappoint thereafter.

Further major improvements form the external landscaping of the tiered gardens and the creation of a gymnasium and sauna within the pool house adjacent the open air swimming pool. The gardens can be viewed from an "overhanging" terrace which literally hangs over the gardens making an ideal entertaining area. This area enjoys far reaching views across the natural valley below. The gardens have been landscaped to create a zig zag footpath to the individual terraces which include a second entertaining area formally the tennis court and now with flower and shrub boarders with an artificial turfed hardstanding. This precedes the large open air swimming pool with its pool house housing a gymnasium, sauna, shower room and changing rooms.

Located in an area of outstanding natural beauty, in an exclusive no through road which also serves Amesbury school. The Cottage is well placed for access through to Haslemere and mainline station (approx 2.5 miles away), as well as being within a short drive of the A3 and the Hindhead Tunnel providing dual carriageway through to the M25 at Junction 10.
