4 bed detached house for sale

Kitts Lane, Churt, Farnham, Surrey GU10

This unique, stone-built, period property is set within beautiful, landscaped gardens and offers spectacular views from multiple aspects of both the grounds and Barford Pond. This tranquil country home blends classic, original features, such as exposed beams and brick fireplaces, with contemporary, sophisticated interior design.

The traditional layout allows for a dual aspect in both the kitchen and reception room, with views to the front over the lake and the rear over the gardens. The farmhouse style kitchen, with its aga, scrubbed wood floors and sleek cabinetry, is wonderfully warm and welcoming. Next door is an elegant dining room with an ornate fireplace, leading to a cloakroom and lobby. On the opposite side of the kitchen are two beautifully presented interconnecting reception rooms, both with beautiful original details. A contemporary glass staircase leads up to the first floor where there are four generous double bedrooms; two are en suite, while two share a jack and jill style bathroom.

Barracks is nestled at the end of a quiet, no-through lane. A gravel driveway crosses in front of Barford Pond, a magnificent lake to the rear of the house, where you arrive into an ample parking area, greeted by the sound of running water from the adjacent waterfall. The house is set within beautiful mature grounds of about 1.5 acres, including sweeping lawns, an orchard, an expansive kitchen garden and abundant borders. A stream borders the lawn with charming wooden bridges as crossing points. The garden is set over multiple levels, with an upper lawn featuring the orchard and shepherds hut, complete with bed, kitchenette and shower room. This is set above the expansive main lawn, with further outbuildings that include a detached outdoor office and double garages. The kitchen garden is situated within the footprint of a tennis court and includes raised beds, a greenhouse and storage shed.

Barracks is situated down a no-through lane just outside the popular village of Churt. The semi-rural location and tranquil setting is a particular feature of the property, but it is also convenient to local market towns.

Frensham Common and the Great Pond are nearby with miles of walking and riding in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Within the village of Churt there are several local amenities – a village shop and newsagent, church, village hall, highly regarded infant school and cricket ground. Farnham, Haslemere and Grayshott offer a broader range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities, with the larger centres of Guildford, Basingstoke and Winchester further afield.

There is an excellent choice of schools in the area. Main line stations can be found at Farnham, Haslemere and Liphook. The A3 and M3 which link with the M25 and the south coast are a short drive away.
