Located in the middle of the picturesque Surrey villages of Churt, Thursley and Rushmoor, the property has direct access to miles of country walks across Hankley, Frensham and Thursley Commons with spectacular far reaching views from nearby Kettlebury Hill and the Devil’s Jumps.

Built in the 1920’s in the ‘Surrey style’, the property has part tile hung elevations under a clay tiled roof and is approached via a gated entrance and gravel drive. The house is entered from a covered porch into a spacious entrance hall providing access to the principal reception rooms.

To the left, there is a dining room with space for a generous dining table and doors out to the garden.

At the rear of the house, there is a kitchen/breakfast room with integrated appliances, an island and an Aga, which is open to a conservatory with areas for seating and dining and door out the garden terrace. Adjacent to the kitchen is a boot room with a separate larder, utility room and cloakroom that has an external door.

On the first floor, there are four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom has built in wardrobes, an en suite shower room and views across the gardens to the beautiful heathland of Hankley Common. There are three further bedrooms, one is en suite and two are served by a family bathroom.

Outside, a hardwood decked terrace has been created for outdoor entertaining, featuring a covered pergola and views across the beautifully landscaped gardens, which are designed with areas of lawn, floral beds and mature trees. The plot extends to about two acres including an expanse of woodland interspersed with wild flowers, grassland and two ornamental ponds.
