This Surrey home for sale is a lesson in blending the best of old and new
A substantial wing of a country house, complete with thoughtful design choices and an outdoor heated swimming pool, is for sale in Haslemere, Surrey.
Nestled among 1.52 acres of lush land, the property is thought to date back to the 1880s and was divided into two homes in the 1980s.
Restoring period properties is no easy feat, yet current owners have excelled at retaining original features such as open fires and high ceilings. It's now the perfect lesson in blending old with new, which is apparent as soon as you step through the front door.
In the open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, fluted wooden walls hide a handy boot room to save you from tracking muddy footprints any further, with a skylight creating a bright and airy entryway.
The sage green kitchen benefits from an AGA, pantry, kitchen island, and lots of storage solutions to keep clutter out of sight. A green scheme also dominates the large living and dining room, creating a nature-inspired space.
Elsewhere, floor-to-ceiling windows and large sliding door panels look out in the gardens beyond. Completing this floor is a snug – with another open fire – a cloakroom, and a rear hallway.
Up one level is where you'll find three bedrooms – with one currently being used as an office – a family bathroom, and an annexe with its own private entrance for guests. Two further double bedrooms and another family bathroom sit on the second floor.
The outside space is just as impressive, thanks to a heated swimming pool and sizeable tennis court.
It's also a haven for keen gardeners or those who like to spend time outdoors, with the lawns being bordered by mature trees, including tobacco, tulip, magnolia and cherry blossom varieties, alongside a small orchard featuring apples and plums. A small belt of woodland runs beyond the house to extend the green space.
Set within the bucolic Surrey Hills, Haslemere boasts a range of shops, restaurants and bars, with the property itself being situated on one of the area's most sought-after roads.
The property is currently on the market for £2,700,000 with Knight Frank.
