Description
Providing no onward chain, this fine family property is ready and waiting for a new family to make it their home. Almost centrally situated in glorious grounds that extend to in excess of 2 acres of lawns and a paddock, the house itself provides comfortable 6-bedroom, 3-reception room accommodation extending to 2795 sq ft (259.7 sq m) plus a double width garage of 442 sq ft (41 sq m) and there may still be scope to extend further, subject to usual consents. The setting is quite exceptional, being in a semi-rural position with Thursley Nature Reserve immediately in front. and Hankley Common behind, whilst Elstead Village is just a 1.7 mile drive away.
Heather Ridge has been in the same family since 1962! Originally built in the 1930's and since extended to add the double width garage and utility room with bedroom and bathroom above, it is now time for a new family to enjoy everything this wonderfully located house has to offer.
The house is approached via a long sweeping gravelled driveway from a 5-bar gate to the garage. The frontage to the property is particularly impressive and sets the house well back from the road. Internally, the property has been meticulously looked after, but also presents an opportunity for certain refurbishment/modernisation. Off the reception hall is the almost square sitting room which enjoys dual aspect including French doors to a delightful veranda - the perfect place to and eat/drink when shelter from the sun/rain is required. A significantly proportioned dining and kitchen/breakfast room also lead off the hallway (in addition to a downstairs cloakroom). The kitchen is well fitted with cream-coloured units and includes an oven and hob whilst there is comfortable room to eat both breakfast or dinner! Then there is a tremendous sized family or further sitting room, again front and rear aspect, and off here a particularly spacious utility room with the staircase leading to the guest bedroom. A door from here gives garage access from within.
Up the main staircase to a wide landing accessing five of the six bedrooms and two of the three bathrooms, the main one of which is en suite to the principal double aspect room. Three of the other bedrooms are good double rooms whist the smallest is still an excellent single. The guest room is accessed via the other staircase and has its own bathroom.
Garden and Exterior
We have measured the substantial grounds of Heather Ridge to 2.13 acres in total. In addition to the large frontage there are wide accesses either side of the house to the rear garden and a delightful full width and deep paved terrace across the rear of the house. This gives way to a large expanse of lawn which slopes gently down a little stream where one can cross to the paddock beyond. All in all a super house complimented by fantastic gardens.
