A superb family home in peaceful surroundings within grounds of approx 2.71 acres including formal gardens and private woodland. In addition to it’s rural benefits it is only minutes from the centre of Grayshott and Churt villages and a short drive from Haslemere and Farnham towns which offer high street shops and mainline train services.

Some 45 years ago the current owners saw the potential in a rural plot of land that formerly belonged to the larger country house of Assisi. They have created a detached home that has generated an abundance of family memories and landscaped the gardens to create colour, shape and interest throughout the seasons.

Situated in a quiet, tucked away position on Hammer Lane, with a large front garden and sweeping driveway providing privacy and screening, there is something special about the house from the moment you approach it.

A gated entrance opens into a large driveway with roundabout turning leading to a detached double garage. There is parking for numerous vehicles. The front garden stretches out in front of you with a wide lawn and mature well stocked herbaceous borders. An attractive brick pathway meanders through these beds to the front door.

A large entrance porch provides a shady spot to take boots and coats off in winter weather and a moment of shade in the summer. The front door opens into a reception hall with stairs to the 1st floor.

Immediately to your left is a modern kitchen (refitted 2 years ago) overlooking the front garden, which opens to a large utility room, and a 2nd lobby providing further storage and a cloakroom.

Behind the kitchen is a useful study with door directly onto the rear garden, and next to it is the dining room, from which the same garden views can be enjoyed.

To the other side of the entrance hall is a double aspect sitting room enabling views over both the front and rear garden, with a central open fireplace for cosy winter evenings. There are double doors to the dining room, which can be opened up to create a larger space for entertaining if desired.

At the end of the house is an additional reception room, currently enjoyed as a family room, this also benefits from a central open fireplace with doors onto a conservatory which enjoys fine views over the rear garden, which the current owners say is the best spot in the house for the breakfast cup of tea/coffee!

To the first floor are four bedrooms; the master bedroom being a double with a two banks of built in wardrobes and a generous en suite with both bath and separate shower. There are a further two double bedrooms; one overlooking the front garden, the other the rear garden and a 4th large single bedroom with built in wardrobes and a sink unit, currently used as a craft/hobby room.

The family bathroom is fully tiled, and was new 4 years ago. Completing the accommodation is the loft, a generous space which is fully boarded with roof windows.

The grounds extend to approx. 2.71 acres and have been beautifully maintained to provide lawn areas, borders full of mature shrubs and plants together with a large patio area to sit and enjoy the peaceful yet tranquil setting. At every season there is something planted to bring joy, rhododendrons and camellias stunning in the Spring, while roses in Summer and dahlias in Autumn provide a riot of colour. The private woodland beyond the formal gardens offers a haven for wildlife and a fantastic woodland adventure for young children with hopes of dens and tree houses as well as the more traditional hide and seek, and the useful supply of fuel for the open fireplaces!

Within the grounds you can also find 2 greenhouses, with associated fruit cages and raised vegetable beds. A potting shed and wood store can be found adjacent to the brick garage (with double up and over doors), all of which have mains power and lighting. Extensive sensor lighting to the front garden and driveway, together with discreet lighting to the rear patio areas.
