Set in a picturesque rural setting within glorious gardens and grounds of nearly an acre, this exceptional four bedroom detached home conjures an immense degree of grace and grandeur. Dating back to the 1870s and beautifully styled and presented throughout, behind its distinguished facade an expansive layout unfolds from a central entrance hall onto three wonderful reception rooms, a study and an exemplary Shaker kitchen/breakfast room. Principal and second bedrooms have luxurious en suites, while outside the secluded grounds include a superbly appointed double height home office, garaging and a gym.

Description

Tucked discreetly away from prying eyes at the end of a sweeping carriage driveway, Heath Farm instantly engenders a sense of history and heritage. Dating back to 1878, its picturesque setting generates a superior rural lifestyle, while the location has ease of access to the village amenities of both Send and Ripley as well commuter routes and the high streets of Guildford and Woking.

Step inside and you’ll find an elegant central hall unfolding onto a sympathetically styled layout that proffers every opportunity for you to relax, spend time together and entertain friends. Commendably presented throughout it pairs warm neutral hues with refined greys and cool whites to create a marvellous family abode.

Framing the entrance hall, exceptional double aspect drawing and dining rooms supply the perfect introduction. Tremendously proportioned and wonderfully lit by their bay windows each room has the warming tones of wood floors, and whilst the spacious drawing room has a majestic fireplace, French doors in the dining room tempt you out into the garden for after dinner drinks. The leafy vistas continue in a separate study, while the natural flow of the ground floor guides you to the rear where a refined kitchen/breakfast room unites with the adjoining family room. Supremely well appointed with beautifully crafted Shaker cabinetry, the kitchen/breakfast room offers every convenience with its first class array of appliances and benefits from an additional pantry and utility room. Its tiled floor extends cohesively into the subtly delineated stylish family room where bi-fold doors seamlessly connect you with the south-west facing patio allowing daily life to filter easily out into the sunshine. A cloakroom completes the ground floor.

The period charm and abundance of natural light continues upstairs where the glorious gardens and grounds lend a heavenly backdrop to each of the four equally notable double bedrooms. An enviably large and graceful principal bedroom with a bay window seating area has an indulgent en suite with fitted wardrobes and a luxurious suite with a raised inset bath, glass framed shower and dressing area. Two further bedrooms share the family bathroom, while a third has a sumptuous en suite of its own that opens onto a balcony and has a fabulous freestanding slipper bath and walk-in rosehead shower.

Outside

Encompassed by established lawns peppered with clipped topiary, blossom trees and shrubs, a quintessential carriage driveway gives the perfect vantage point to admire the architecture of this historic home. The gardens stretch out for nearly an acre wrapping around the property to give you every excuse to take a stroll in the sunshine.

Tranquil and idyllic, to the rear of the house brick paved and pebbled patios produce a choice of spots for al fresco dining or to simply sit back and unwind with the weekend papers. Statuesque conifers and hedgerows border the expansive lawns, and a summerhouse is a haven from the hubbub of the day.
