4 bedroom house

Built in 1614 and situated on the edge of Haslemere town, is this delicately composed four-bedroom home which is laid out over three levels. The original structure has been respected and beautifully preserved with the exquisite interiors having been completely restored by the current owners with no small detail untouched. Original timber beams stand out against inglenook fireplaces, whilst exposed brick and York stone floors in the reception and kitchen give a classic, country house feel.

A stable door forms the primary entrance to the side of the house which opens into the kitchen/breakfast room. Bespoke joinery with thick butcher block worksurfaces complements the original character of the house, with space and plumbing for all the pre-requites for modern family living. A utility/cloakroom provides a functional extension to the kitchen. There are two welcoming reception rooms, with the living room having original exposed brick flooring a wonderful inglenook fireplace, whilst the dining room boasts oak wood flooring and a wood burning stove.

An oak staircase with panelled walls ascends to the first floor where there are two wonderful and generously proportioned bedrooms, with exposed beams and vaulted ceilings. The guest suite further benefits from an ensuite shower room, whilst a family bathroom completes the first- floor accommodation.

The second storey to the house has two further bedrooms, currently used as children's bedrooms but offers great flexibility of use. There is a “secret staircase” which leads down to eaves storeage, to the first-floor bedroom which has the potential to make an excellent dressing area. (STC)
