SITUATION:.

The location offers the peace and tranquility of a rural hamlet with the countryside literally on the doorstep whilst the neighbouring houses may offer a watchful eye for the buyer seeking a “lock up and leave” residence. The property enjoys an enviable location in the hamlet of Shillinglee on the Surrey/West Sussex borders, about 3 miles from Chiddingfold with its village shops and Inns. Haslemere (5 miles) provides a good range of shopping, sports and leisure facilities together with a mainline station with trains to Waterloo (55 minutes). More comprehensive shopping and cultural facilities can be found at Guildford (16 miles) and there is an excellent selection of schools in the area that cater for most ages and denominations, both in the private and public sectors. The surrounding countryside has many miles of footpaths and bridleways.

DESCRIPTION:

Originally part of the Home Farm on the Shillinglee country Estate, this Grade II listed property is thought to date from the 1700’s. Elevations are of mellow brick under a clay tiled roof and the property was converted to a house in the early 1980’s. The well planned accommodation is all about space and light, spread over three floors with all principal rooms enjoying distant rural views towards Black Down National Trust lands. The present owners have customised the interior to create an easily maintained contemporary home which retains the character of its period origins. Ground floor ceiling heights are 8’10” and there are exposed beams though out the property. The ground floor provides a reception hall, cloakroom, double aspect sitting room with door to garden, dining room and fitted kitchen with walk in larder. On the first floor is the master suite of bedroom and shower room, two further bedrooms and family bathroom. The second floor with its vaulted ceilings and exposed brick work provides two further double aspect bedrooms or home offices as they are presently used. There is a third bathroom on this floor.

OUTSIDE:

From the sitting room and kitchen, doors open to a mature and secluded garden with flagstoned terrace shaded by a pergola clad with vines. The garden is laid mainly to lawn interspersed with specimen trees and shrubs. A gravel path leads through a wrought iron gate to the garage block and parking area.
