Itchel Lane, Crondall, Farnham, Hampshire GU10

This substantial farmhouse offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere, character and comfort. The property includes landscaped gardens, a paddock, stabling, a swimming pool, and a tennis court.

Believed to be approximately 100 years old, the property blends period charm with modern flexibility, providing generous and versatile accommodation, set within a plot of approximately 3.75 acres. A central entrance hall leads into the main reception spaces, including a beautiful double-aspect sitting room with a handsome open fireplace and views over the garden. Double doors connect this space to a second reception room, currently used as a study. There is also a separate family room with further garden access, along with an additional study. The traditionally styled family kitchen is open plan to a garden-style dining area, creating a wonderfully sociable and homely environment with ample space for both informal and formal dining. The kitchen is supported by a working pantry, utility room, and a useful boot room. Upstairs, the first floor offers a spacious principal bedroom suite with dressing room and en suite bathroom. Five further bedrooms are served by two well-appointed family bathrooms.

The mature, well-established gardens can be accessed from three key ground floor rooms, making it ideal for indoor-outdoor living during warmer months. A generous terrace area is perfect for alfresco dining, surrounded by colourful planting and mature trees, including a notable walnut tree and a charming pergola for secluded relaxation.

In addition to the principal accommodation, the property benefits from two forms of secondary accommodation. The first is a self-contained attached annex featuring its own entrance, kitchen/dining/sitting room, laundry room, shower room, and a bedroom with dressing area. It also enjoys a private garden and dedicated parking. The second is a stable annexe/flat located within the stable block, offering a kitchen, shower room, sitting room, bedroom, and a storage room above. The stable block also includes a workshop, tack room, store, and three stables, ideal for equestrian use. A sweeping driveway provides ample parking and extends to the rear, leading to the stabling and paddock. Both secondary accommodations offer excellent potential for multigenerational living, live-in staff, or as an income-generating asset.

The main house and rear gardens enjoy a southerly aspect, ensuring plentiful natural light throughout the day. The outdoor leisure facilities, including the swimming pool with summer house and a full-size tennis court, further enhance this unique lifestyle opportunity. Beyond the formal gardens and recreational spaces lies a paddock, completing the rural charm and versatility of this exceptional property.
