Grayswood Road, Haslemere, Surrey, GU27

An exceptional detached family residence of immense character and charm, occupying a highly desirable position on the prestigious Grayswood Road, within easy walking distance of Haslemere High Street and the mainline railway station. Offered to the market for the first time in over 30 years, Mayfield Lodge represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and beautifully maintained family home set within glorious mature grounds and extending to approximately 4,236 sq ft including the garage.

Believed to date from the early twentieth century, the property displays many attractive architectural features synonymous with the Arts and Crafts era, including steeply pitched tiled roofs, handsome brick detailing, leaded light style windows and beautifully proportioned rooms throughout. The house has been thoughtfully maintained and sympathetically updated by the current owners, successfully combining timeless character with practical modern family living.

A particular highlight of the property is the striking circular entrance hall, an unusual and memorable architectural feature that immediately creates a wonderful sense of space and individuality upon entering the home. From here, the accommodation flows beautifully across the ground floor, providing an ideal balance of formal entertaining space and comfortable day-to-day living.

The superb dual aspect reception room is a wonderfully bright and elegant space, centred around an attractive fireplace and enjoying lovely views over the gardens through large picture windows. The formal dining room provides an excellent setting for entertaining and family gatherings, while the separate family room offers a more relaxed reception area, ideal for everyday use. Throughout the property there are numerous period details including high ceilings, attractive joinery, generous room proportions and an abundance of natural light.

The spacious kitchen/breakfast room has been comprehensively fitted with an extensive range of cabinetry, ample work surfaces and integrated appliances, creating a highly functional and sociable heart to the home. The central island and breakfast area make it particularly well suited to modern family life, with direct access to the outside. Adjoining the kitchen is a useful utility room together with a cloakroom, while a separate study/home office provides an ideal workspace for those working remotely.

The bedroom accommodation is arranged over the first and second floors and offers excellent flexibility for families of all ages. The principal bedroom suite is especially impressive, featuring generous proportions, fitted storage, a dressing room and a beautifully appointed bath/shower room. There are five further bedrooms, all of good size and characterful in design, served by additional family bath and shower room facilities. The upper floors offer tremendous versatility and could easily accommodate guest suites, hobbies rooms or additional office space if required.

Externally, Mayfield Lodge is equally impressive. The property is approached via a sweeping private driveway providing ample parking and access to the detached garage and adjoining workshop. The mature rear garden forms a delightful setting for the house, being predominantly laid to level lawn and enclosed by a variety of established trees, shrubs and well-stocked borders which create a high degree of privacy and seclusion. The gardens offer an ideal environment for both entertaining and family enjoyment, with generous terraces and seating areas perfectly positioned to enjoy the attractive surroundings.

The location is one of the property’s most appealing attributes. Grayswood Road is regarded as one of Haslemere’s premier residential addresses, conveniently positioned for the town centre with its excellent range of independent shops, cafes, restaurants and amenities. Haslemere mainline station provides a fast and regular service to London Waterloo, making the property highly suitable for commuters. The area is also particularly well served by an excellent selection of schools, both state and private, together with an abundance of countryside, common land and walking opportunities within the nearby South Downs National Park.

Properties of this quality, size and setting rarely become available, particularly having been held within the same ownership for such a considerable period of time. Mayfield Lodge therefore presents a unique opportunity to acquire a distinguished family home in one of Haslemere’s most sought-after locations.
