An elegant Victorian four bedroom home close to Farnham Park.

Description

Occupying a desirable position and beautifully blending period character with contemporary living, this substantial Victorian residence provides remarkably generous family accommodation of approximately 2,242 sq ft, alongside a versatile detached outbuilding and off-street parking for two vehicles.

The property's charm is immediately apparent, with a striking stained-glass window above the front door, high ceilings and a wealth of original features retained throughout. A welcoming entrance hall leads to the elegant sitting room, where a large bay window floods the space with natural light, complemented by a decorative ceiling rose and character fireplace. Concertina doors open seamlessly into an additional reception room, presently used as a study, providing a highly adaptable space to suit a variety of lifestyle requirements. A fireplace further enhances the room's period charm.

Beyond, crittal-style doors open into the impressive Neptune kitchen and family space, undoubtedly the heart of the home. Beautifully appointed with limestone flooring complemented by underfloor heating, the kitchen is centred around a substantial island with a butler sink and is fitted with a Fisher & Paykel range cooker, an American-style fridge freezer and twin full-height pantry cupboards. A roof lantern floods the room with natural light, while double doors provide direct access to the terrace and garden, creating an effortless flow between indoor and outdoor living. A cloakroom and useful side access complete the ground floor accommodation.

The first floor comprises the principal bedroom, together with two further double bedrooms, all well-proportioned and benefiting from built-in storage. Bedrooms two and three are enhanced by attractive original fireplaces, while two bathrooms serve this floor, including one featuring a beautiful nickel-plated copper bath. The generous landing benefits from a dramatic double-height window, filling the space with natural light and reinforcing the home's sense of scale.

Occupying the entire second floor, a generous bedroom suite provides highly versatile accommodation, ideally suited as a guest suite, teenager's retreat or private workspace, while enjoying elevated views across Farnham Park and benefiting from its own en suite shower room.

Outside, the landscaped rear garden has been thoughtfully designed for both relaxation and entertaining, with a decked terrace leading onto a level lawn bordered by attractive outdoor planting and lighting. A detached outbuilding, fully equipped with power and lighting, offers excellent flexibility as a home office, studio or gym.

Further practical enhancements include a cleverly designed hidden log store within the side passage, providing convenient access from both the front of the property and the rear garden.

A rare opportunity to acquire a characterful Victorian family home that successfully combines period elegance, modern comforts and exceptional living space in a prime Farnham location.
