An outstanding and characterful family home on a sought-after road, within a short walk of Haslemere train station
Located on one of Haslemere's most desirable addresses, the property benefits from a bright and elevated position overlooking the town boasting outstanding views. The house was built in about 1908 and purchased by our clients in 2007. During their ownership, Wyecroft has gone through a complete internal renovation, with the most significant change being the kitchen/breakfast room, formerly seven rooms. This is now a wonderful open-plan space incorporating an extension featuring a vaulted family room and study/playroom with attached shower room. Notably, the Harvey Jones kitchen features an island, three-oven gas AGA with electric companion module, with extensive fitted cabinetry which includes a pantry unit, and wine fridge.The house is elegantly proportioned and laid-out throughout; upon entering through its arched front door, one is greeted with a wide entrance hall featuring parquet flooring and a wood burning stove. To one side is the wonderful drawing room with triple aspect, a broad bay window and attractive seating area with oak shelving around a further wood burning stove. From here one can access the rear courtyard and garden lawn up a flight of stairs beyond via French doors. Further to the ground floor are a dining room with corner bay window, utility room, and cloakroom. Notably our clients installed underfloor heating in the kitchen, family room and study/playroom, and in the principal bathroom.Accommodation to the first floor is equally spacious and there are plentiful period features to be found including fireplaces, tall ceiling heights, and an attractive oak staircase and a corner bay window mirroring the one beneath. The majority of the five bedrooms enjoy far-reaching views, built-in wardrobes and large windows allowing the spaces to be filled with natural light. The principal bedroom suite – also reconfigured by our clients – boasts a large bedroom with a substantial window, plentiful built-in wardrobes, and en suite bathroom, with a separate bath and shower and with marble flooring and finishes. A further bedroom has a bathroom en suite, and there is a family bathroom. Wyecroft is entered via a five-bar electric gate onto a driveway with plentiful parking in addition to the large garage with space for four cars, built by our clients. The house is approached up a flight of steps, with the outstanding terrace which covers the garage accessible to the right; this area is used for entertaining during the summer months and enjoys an expansive north-westerly view across Haslemere and beyond. To the rear of the property is a courtyard garden, accessible from several sets of French doors within the property, the garden features an abundance of roses. The large flat garden above benefits from a seating area and a wonderful array of spring bulbs. There is much additional storage with two sheds located around the property.Agents' NoteAn oak tree in the top garden is subject to a Tree Preservation Order (TPO).
