Description

A wonderful detached home, once owned by Sir Malcolm Arnold (composer), which has been carefully extended by the current owners to create a beautiful village home with well kept gardens right in the heart of the community. Backing onto the Thursley National Nature Reserve and with views towards the village cricket ground and playground, this is a fine family home with well balanced and generously proportioned living space over three floors.

Every reception room and bedroom is double aspect with high speed internet and underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, and in every bathroom. A generous reception hall opens to more formal reception space incorporating a triple aspect sitting room with lovely views over the garden and an adjacent conservatory. The dining room is also a very good size and faces the front of the house. The superb kitchen/ breakfast room with bespoke cabinetry is beautifully finished with a central island, integrated appliances, American fridge freezer and with sliding doors to the rear garden. Off the kitchen is the cellar with access to a useful storage area, a pantry and guest cloakroom as well as the study, boot room, utility room and access to the double length garage.

On the first floor are five double bedrooms, all with dual aspect, and three bathrooms (two en suite) and a separate WC. The principal bedroom is a memorable room, with dressing area and en suite bathroom. Stairs lead to the second floor for bedroom six or family room with excellent eaves storage.

The gardens are a real feature of the house, beautifully landscaped, meticulously designed and surrounding the property on all sides. Lawned areas are flanked by flower beds, mature shrubs and winding pathways. The property itself is well set back from the village road, behind a stone wall and gated driveway providing plenty of parking and access to the garage.
