Description
Lot 1 - Main House & Grounds
Keffolds farmhouse is an attractive Grade II period property dating from the 1600s but thought to have earlier origins and has been in its present ownership since 2007. There have been a number of changes to the property in its lifetime including use as a private school for a period until 1994. The present owners however have made substantial yet tasteful improvements including totally remodelling the garden in 2014. They have also added a spacious bespoke kitchen by Indigo Cabinets with four-oven AGA and walk-in pantry and increased the total kitchen/family space with the addition of a superb oak framed orangery. Ideally suited to busy and informal family living this will undoubtedly become the heart of the home. Less obviously, there is a lower ground level that has been cleverly designed to provide a spacious billiards room with its own wine bar and an adjoining gym from which steps lead out to the garden and pool area.
The house offers an absolute wealth of period features including mellow oak beams, ledged doors and inglenook fireplaces. It is also ideally suited to more formal entertaining with spacious reception rooms including the impressive central hall with its woodburning stove for cosy gatherings and easy access to the spacious terrace and its lovely views.
First floor accommodation is both generous and flexible. Currently arranged as a master suite with dressing areas; a two bedroom guest suite and up to five further bedrooms it would ideally suit a growing family.
Keffolds Farm offers a unique opportunity to experience period style living with a 21st century twist in the heart of the country whilst benefitting from convenient local amenities and communications.
The Cottage
Adjoining the drive and forecourt there is a detached cottage comprising a spacious living room with woodburning stove, elevated kitchen, two bedrooms and shower room/WC. It would be ideally suited to use as further guest or staff accommodation or possibly some home-based business venture.
Gardens & Grounds
From the shared private road, Keffolds Farm is approached down a short tarmac drive to a large gravelled forecourt/turning area with central island and ample parking for numerous cars. Also beside the forecourt is a two-bay cart-shed style carport and a further outbuilding comprising various storage areas and workshop. Around the forecourt are numerous mature shrubs and trees including an ancient yew.
To the rear of the house a deep full-width paved terrace with access from most of the reception rooms provides a superb situation for relaxation and summer dining while the eye is drawn irresistibly to the superb vista over the grounds and adjoining land as far as the South Downs on the horizon.
Steps lead down from the terrace to the sheltered pool area with 12x6 m (approx) heated pool and its adjacent pool-house/games room and changing area. Other steps lead from the terrace down to two successive levels of lawn where the owners have created a sun-deck from which to take in the widest views and perhaps enjoy a cocktail as the sun sinks behind the trees.
The remaining grounds comprise fenced and watered paddocks and a belt of woodland with a small lake. This has previously been stocked with trout although the present population is not known.
Lot 2
A further area of land of about 49.72 acres is available by separate negotiation. This land comprises a mixed belt of woodland, bluebell wood and pasture, all with spring-fed water supply. A substantial part of the woodland is identified and listed at Ancient Woodland and provides habitat for a wide variety of flora and fauna.
Lot 2 also benefits from a number of outbuildings as shown on attached plans, and a further well stocked fishing lake. It is suggested that this area provides potential for a number of agricultural activities or even an interesting re-wilding project.
Location
Keffolds Farm enjoys a superbly secluded and elevated situation in The Surrey Hills and just over a mile from Haslemere High Street. From here it commands outstanding panoramic wealden views from Leith Hill in the east to The South Downs. The property also benefits from being within several designated areas including The Surrey Hills AONB, the Green Belt and an Area of Outstanding Landscape Value with the protection these imply.
Located at the end of a long private drive through woodland and banks of rhododendron one emerges at the property where the sense of discovering the rural idyll is absolute.
The nearby town of Haslemere with its wide high street offers a good range of local services including banks and supermarkets, speciality shops, cafes and pubs, churches, schools and local social groups.
Communications are excellent with the main A286 route and pretty local lanes providing access to the many small towns and villages nearby. The A3 trunk route is found just under 5 miles away at Hindhead providing access to London, the south coast, the national motorway network and airports. There is also a mainline station with a fast and frequent to service into London with journey times of just under an hour.
The Haslemere area is served by a very good range of state and private schools including Charterhouse, Priors field, Amesbury, St Edmunds and The Royal School.
Recreational opportunities are many and varied with the local Leisure Centre and a number of clubs in the area catering for a variety of activities. There is golf at several nearby clubs, racing and flying at Goodwood and sailing at Frensham and Chichester while the surrounding countryside including Hindhead and The Devil’s Punchbowl can be accessed directly from the property.
