5 bedroom house

Echo Pit House is situated on the much-favoured south side of one of the town’s most sought after residential roads above the town and therefore benefits from the most amazing southerly views over the Wey Valley to Haslemere and Hindhead on the horizon. The views are incredible from every room and the changing weather patterns, many miles away are clearly visible from the house. The historic High Street is at the bottom of the hill with its shops, restaurants and bars and there is a weekly market and a monthly farmer’s market. The wide-open spaces of the Downs are at the end of the road providing miles of lovely walks with similar views, and the main line station is also within walking distance. The Royal Grammar School is in the High Street and Lanesbrough, Tormead and The Girls High School are all within easy reach.

Echo Pit House was designed and built in the early 1950’s by a local architect for his own occupation, in one of the best south facing plots in the road. All the rooms are light and airy with large picture windows flooding in sunlight and providing truly stunning views over the Chantry Woods, farmland and the Wey Valley. The spacious accommodation extends to over 4,000 sq ft over three floors and is very family orientated. There are four bedooms and three bathrooms, two of which are en suite, on the first floor, with a fifth on the second floor, again with an en suite shower room. There are four reception rooms on the ground floor with a large kitchen/breakfast room with double doors leading to a charming sun terrace with glorious views. The integral garage is accessed from the kitchen and from here a staircase leads down to garden level where there is a large workshop.

There is a wide tarmac driveway leading to the garage and house, with parking areas in front and to the west. A gated side access leads to the rear garden.

Echo Pit House sits in a wide plot which dog-legs behind the neighbouring property. There is a balcony and sun terrace with glorious views and the majority of the garden comprises large areas of gently sloping lawns interspersed with various shrubs and trees and bordered by mature hedging. The views are truly exceptional from every area of the garden, be it through the beech trees to the Chantry Woods and farmland to the east, to the south over Shalford to Hascombe and south-westerly over Godalming to Haslemere and Hindhead. In all approximately 0.53 acres.
