8 bedroom detached house

Believed to date from the 1850s, Crondall Lodge is a handsome property providing almost 8,900 sq. ft. of flexible accommodation, sensitively and tastefully modernised with the assistance of the renowned interior designer Monia Allegretti to combine the amenities of modern living with character features including generously-proportioned rooms, high ceilings with fine cornicing, large sash windows and original fireplaces, the whole combining to create an ideal family and entertaining space.

An original feature staircase rises from the reception hall to the first floor which offers a well-proportioned craft room/office with double doors to a private front aspect balcony, a large principal bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe and spacious en suite bathroom with twin sinks, bath and double walk-in shower and four further generous bedrooms, all with en suite facilities. On the second floor the property offers three further spacious bedrooms, one with an en suite bathroom, together with a family bathroom and stairs to a further office with an additional room over.

Crondall Lodge is located opposite the fine old Norman church at the heart of the delightful and highly-regarded village of Crondall on the Surrey/Hampshire border, known for its mix of period and individual properties. The village has a thriving community spirit and offers a good range of day to-day amenities including the church, a village shop, GP surgery, public houses, a cricket and recreation ground and a popular primary school, all surrounded by open farmland with superb walking and riding opportunities. Nearby Fleet,

Farnham, Odiham, Aldershot, Hook and Farnborough (with airport) all offer a wider selection of shopping and leisure facilities.
Communications links are excellent, with Basingstoke, Guildford and Reading all easily commutable and the nearby M3 offering easy access to central London, London Heathrow Airport and the coast. There is a choice of main line stations at Farnham, Fleet, Bentley, Winchfield and Hook.

Crondall Lodge sits in well-maintained gardens landscaped by Daniele Altieri, a particular feature of the property, and benefits from almost 1,800 sq. ft. of outbuildings. The property is approached through double automatic wrought iron gates with driveway providing parking for multiple vehicles and giving access to a detached garage block with triple garaging, a store room and internal stairs to a 35 ft. first floor room, suitable for a variety of uses including conversion to self-contained accommodation if required (STP). The formal garden features a formal parterre garden, raise borders, trimmed box hedging, paved and gravelled walkways, impressive pergolas and a covered courtyard, the whole offering numerous spaces for entertaining and al fresco dining.
