VIEWING DAYS SATURDAY 05th MARCH & SATURDAY 12th MARCH.


Description

Rarely available, a memorable and beautifully designed family house owing to its flowing accommodation and quality of finish, in one of Haslemere’s most sought after locations.

Howndles Barn represents a detached family house in a lovely setting, within close proximity of the town centre and train station.
The property has recently undergone full refurbishment and has been significantly extended by the current owners creating fabulous contemporary living with the emphasis on light and space.

Approached via electric gates, the driveway leads to the front of the house which is well set back, offering privacy and enjoying a private front garden which has been beautifully landscaped.

The covered porch opens into the welcoming entrance hall which leads to the formal reception room, a wonderfully light and comfortable room with a log burning stove and views of both the front and rear gardens. There is a study facing the front of the house which could easily be a sixth bedroom if required.

The 27’ custom made kitchen/ breakfast room has been superbly designed with ample space for informal dining, fitted with high quality cabinetry and appliances, a butler sink and a Rangemaster cooker. French doors open on to the pleasant patio and gardens beyond.

To the rear of the kitchen is a well appointed and useful utility/ boot room with access to outside.
The kitchen, utility and new additions to the house all have the benefit of underfloor heating.

The hall then leads to a magnificent front to rear entertaining area with impressive vaulted ceiling, this truly spectacular space is very much the heart of the house and lends itself to a dining room and sitting room, ideal for entertaining guests and busy family life. The natural divide is provided by a bespoke oak staircase that leads to a mezzanine level where there is a further guest bedroom or home office.

The first floor is accessed by an attractive staircase where there are four bedrooms and two bathrooms providing for conventional family living. The principal bedroom enjoys a southerly aspect, fitted wardrobes and an en suite bathroom with a roll top bath and a separate shower.

Adjacent to the house is the timber framed double car port with storage to the side and a good size parking area in front.

The house sits well within its private gardens with an attractive lawn to the front which is well screened by impressive hedging and a number of specimen trees. There is also a wonderful rear garden for enjoying the summer months.
