Opposite is a door to the formal Drawing Room with tall ceiling and an impressive open fireplace and large windows with French doors to let the natural light flood in. The French Doors open out to a stone laid terrace.
The Dining Room, with large window with front aspect, has plenty of space for a large family dining table and chairs and sideboards. A step-up leads to the bright and spacious, dual aspect Kitchen which has a substantial range of Shaker style fitted base and wall hung storage units throughout, with plenty of work-surfaces for kitchen gadgets and equipment. A large Belfast sink sits beneath a window overlooking the garden. There is large Range cooker and hob with extractor fan above and an integrated dishwasher. The Kitchen and Dining Room both have a solid oak wooden floor, with the Kitchen having under-floor heating.
From the Dining Room a door opens into the impressive Family Room which has a large picture window with breathtaking views over the rear gardens and beyond to Hindhead’s National Trust Land. A log burner with slate hearth sits neatly in one corner. French doors open to the large composite decked area, again with those exceptional views across the gardens.
First Floor:
Off the Inner Landing are four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The Inner Landing itself is a spacious area with floor to ceiling original fitted storage cupboards and double window which lets the light flood in. Of note is a Butler’s Lift which originally served all floors, lending itself now to handy storage cupboards.
The impressive 18’ dual aspect Master Bedroom is a bright and spacious room with two Juliette Balconies looking out over the gardens and beyond to all year round colourful treetops. The Master has fitted wardrobes and drawers tucked away to one end. There is potential to reconfigure to include an en-suite and dressing room.
A second large Bedroom has an original feature fireplace with mantelpiece surround, floor to ceiling fitted wardrobes and coving to the ceiling. This room looks over the rear gardens.
There are two further Bedrooms looking out to the front or the rear of the property. One is a bright dual aspect room and is used as a second Office/Study Room by the current owners.
There are two Bathrooms, one a family bathroom with full white suite and a shower over the bath with side screen, WC and hand basin. The windows are fitted with white shutters. The second, recently refitted bathroom is larger with a free standing, roll top bath with claw feet, a large corner shower enclosure with rainwater shower head, hand basin and WC. Both bathrooms have windows with white fitted shutters, modern tiling and wooden floors.
Second Floor:
The stairs continue to the Second Floor which has a spacious Bedroom with a large array of bespoke, fitted shelves and hanging spaces in the eaves and window looking towards the side gardens.
Lower Ground Floor:
Stairs down the Lower Ground Floor reveal a further large bedroom, Playroom and a door to the Utility Room with space and pluming for washing machine, tumble drier etc. There is access directly to a lower brick and paved terrace.
There is a further 19’6 x 11’11 room which is accessed externally from either the Utility Room or the garden. This room has been used as an Office/Gym, although this room can have a multitude of uses.
The house is gas centrally heated via radiators with open fireplace or log burner to the main Reception Rooms.
Outside:
Lion Lane/Polecat Lane has a tree lined approach to Anthony Place with no 3 being with wing furthest from the road. A side wall with traditional, ball topped stone pillar leads to the gravelled driveway and a covered car port for two cars, leaving plenty of space for further parking. A pathway leads to the side gardens bordered by a walled flower/shrub bed.
Gardens:
The house sits on a 2/3rds of an acre with multi use areas, including a large lawned side area which leads off the composite outdoor terrace, from which you can view the remainder of the vast garden. The terrace is ideal for outdoor dining in the summer months. Stairs from the terrace lead to the Lower Ground Floor with a brick/paved patio area and access to the Office/Gym and the Utility Room. Stone steps take you up to the Drawing Room terrace. A pathway, winds is way around the gardens, under trees and past a pretty stone seating area. The garden has a series of lawned terraces with vast areas of flower beds with many varieties of shrubs and flower bushes providing year-round colour. Beyond beech hedging is an area of light woodland, hard standing for garden outbuilding and a five bar gate with vehicular access onto Polecat/Sandy Lane and the various gateways leading directly onto National Trust land.
The house and gardens have a documented history, understood to be built in 1899 by a renowned architect Charles Spooner. The owners in 1914, Agnes and Egerton Castle, wrote a book entitled ‘Our Sentimental Gardens’. The book contains many beautiful illustrations of the original house and gardens, some of which can still be seen today. It includes details of the planting of bulbs and flower beds with a map showing the areas of formal planting throughout. The Castles had many notable friends and acquaintances who would dine with them at the house, one rumoured to have been Scott of the Antarctic. The book is certainly worthy of a read as it contains much about the local area and the villagers with many tales of the comings and goings.
