Description

An extremely well presented four bedroom country house in an idyllic spot just south of the village of Dunsfold with planning permission to further improve and extend. Benefitting from separate ancillary accommodation, large garden and equestrian facilities, set in three acres, this wonderful family home is offered to the market with no onward chain.

Upon entering the house you are immediately struck by a sense of arrival. A spacious entrance hall with attractive hardwood flooring and feature fireplace with wood burning stove welcomes you in to this wonderful family home. A large open plan family kitchen/breakfast room is very much the heart of this house, featuring a central island, bespoke kitchen cabinets and Belling cooker, all benefitting from delightful westerly views over the garden and paddocks beyond. Adjoining the kitchen is a useful boot room leading into an informal reception room, ideal for use as a playroom, second sitting room or study. A practical and well thought through utility/laundry room with separate back door is also conveniently located off the kitchen. A well proportioned double aspect dining room with hardwood flooring, boasting two sets of French doors onto the rear terrace, is easily accessed from the kitchen leading you through to a, light and bright, spacious drawing room with second feature wood burning stove – the perfect place to relax and entertain. A useful study and a cloakroom can be found across the central hallway.

To the first floor, at the rear of the house, the spacious principal bedroom benefits from generous ensuite bath and shower room as well as separate adjoining dressing room with fitted wardrobes also lending itself well for use as a fifth bedroom if required. A second large double bedroom with ensuite shower room can be found at the front of the house with far reaching views over neighbouring farmland. Two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom with shower facility complete the upstairs accommodation.

Externally the property is approached via secure double electric gates and a spacious gravel driveway offering ample parking for cars. A double oak framed carport with a practical home office above, with separate WC, is ideal for home working. Additionally, a separate two bedroom chalet of timber framed construction with kitchen and bathroom is tucked away in the rear garden, ideal for overflow or guest accommodation.

Overlooking the delightful rear garden is a large attractive stone terrace with views towards paddocks beyond, the perfect place for al fresco dining in the warmer months.

To the rear of the property, with easy access for vehicles, is a stable yard with four loose boxes – three of which benefit from electronic water feeders - tack room, hay store and wash bay. A 40m x 20m sand school, floodlit, is conveniently located behind the stable yard with access to a large, well fenced, paddock beyond.

If required the current owners have recently secured planning permission to significantly extend and remodel the house further to the south and west side. To the west, planning has been granted for a double storey rear extension enhancing the size of the principal bedroom and kitchen area – Ref WA/2023/02496. To the south, a single storey extension creating additional family living space with attractive light lantern - Ref WA/2024/00420.
