6 bedroom house

The property is located in a prime, yet extremely convenient location on Bunch Lane, one of Haslemere's most sought-after addresses. Despite its rather rural feel, the house is less than half a mile on foot to Haslemere station and about a mile from the High Street.

The town offers excellent shopping facilities, a choice of restaurants, pubs and coffee shops, along with a tennis club and the Haslemere Leisure Centre. Located just half a mile away are the further conveniences of Wey Hill, featuring a variety of shops including M&S and Tesco stores. The mainline train station provides a frequent service into London Waterloo taking approximately 56 minutes. More comprehensive shopping facilities are available in the nearby towns of Godalming and Guildford which are easily accessed via the A286 and the A3.

Haslemere is well served educationally, with an excellent choice of schools in the area, including The Royal Senior School and St Ives in Haslemere itself, St Edmund's, The Royal Junior School and Amesbury at Hindhead and Brookham and Highfield Schools in Liphook. Other schools in the area include Charterhouse in Godalming and Barrow Hills at Witley.

Built we understand in the 1930s, Oakelwood has been comprehensively renovated by our clients to an extremely high standard in 2015. Constructed in brick with hung tile elevations and mullion windows the house is traditional in character and presents immaculately throughout. The paving and terracing around the house are indian sandstone and give way to outstanding gardens of just under an acre.

Recent renovations to the house include replacement of clay tile to the roof and hung elevation, crittall windows (supplied by Met Therm), underfloor heating and engineered oak floors to the ground-floor reception rooms and a bespoke oak staircase.

There are plentiful reception rooms to the ground floor, with a particular highlight being the drawing room with triple aspect windows, allowing one to enjoy the gardens beyond and access to the rear terrace. Of note, the fire surround is bespoke in Cotswold stone with a log burner at its centre. The drawing room is a generous size and there are plentiful considered details such as the 13 Amp sockets in the floor. Further are a sitting room, dining room (a small wing off the hall, enhancing the feeling of space and light), and the kitchen/breakfast room. The latter is bespoke of Dovetail, a local joiners and benefits from plentiful storage and elegant design features. The breakfast area is adjacent but inclusive with the main room and enjoys gardens views and access via double doors.

To the first floor are six bedrooms in all, noting our clients currently use bedroom six as an upstairs living room/study, each is of good size and enjoy varying views around the property. The principal bedroom is particularly generous in its proportions, has rear garden views, and benefits from a walk-in dressing room with plentiful capacity; accessed via this space is the en-suite shower room. The bathrooms throughout this floor elegant in their simplicity with clean lines and tiled with Nova Carrara marble.

A particular highlight of Oakelwood are its gardens. Stretching away from the house, they are mostly laid to lawn and feature wonderful, well-stocked borders, a Gabriel Ash RHS greenhouse, and a summer house (the latter is not included in the sale, though may be made available by separate negotiation). The house is predominantly bordered by Indian sandstone and the rear terrace is freely accessible from the house, and wonderful for entertaining throughout the summer months. The gardens themselves feature an array of plants and trees which include Wisteria, Rhododendrons, Liquidambar, Cornus, and Ginkgo.

The property is accessed via double wooden electric gates down the driveway, with plentiful parking for cars. In additional is a large double garage with now lapsed planning (contact the Agent for further details).
