Seymour Road, Headley Down, Hampshire, GU35

Charming, individual 3/4 bedroom detached house offering flexible accommodation in delightful gardens on a quiet lane that looks onto Ludshott Common.

Approached via a quiet unadopted lane and occupying an idyllic position adjoining Ludshott Common, Negishi is an individual and characterful home offering flexible accommodation, beautifully established gardens and immediate access to miles of National Trust heathland and woodland. Driveway parking is complemented by a useful garage/workshop, while the house has been much enjoyed by the current owners for over 30 years.

The front garden creates a memorable first impression, with Japanese-inspired planting originally designed by a previous owner with connections to RHS Garden Wisley. Azaleas, rhododendrons and acers provide a riot of spring colour, accompanied by an unusual pocket handkerchief tree and an impressive collection of mature specimen plants.

Wrapping around the front of the house is a superb garden room, its wide glazed elevations drawing in an abundance of natural light and providing wonderful views over the surrounding garden, a light, sunny and spacious welcome to the house complete with its own characterful wood burning stove which provides a cosy focal point during the colder months. Built-in bench seating offers the perfect place to read, watch visiting birds or simply enjoy the garden throughout the seasons. A generous storage cupboard and cloakroom complete this welcoming entrance.

Double internal doors open to reveal the heart of the home: a spacious open-plan kitchen / lounge / dining room with a warm and relaxed atmosphere. Wooden floorboards extend throughout, while a feature fireplace houses an impressive 8kW multi-fuel stove. There is ample room to arrange both a dining area and lounge furniture around the fire, making this a wonderfully sociable setting for everyday family life. The dual-aspect kitchen is fitted with an attractive range of white cabinetry, complemented by oiled timber worktops and integrated oven and hob with space for further appliances.

An inner hallway leads to the exceptional 23’4 wide sitting room, positioned to the rear of the house and enjoying complete privacy. Wide patio doors open directly onto the south-west-facing garden, creating an effortless connection between the house and its peaceful surroundings. Also off this hallway are a versatile study / fourth bedroom and a family bathroom, providing ideal ground floor accommodation for guests, older children or relatives.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is a particularly appealing triple-aspect room overlooking the rear garden and enjoying lovely sunset views. Deep eaves add character and offer scope to create further fitted storage if desired. Two additional well-proportioned bedrooms and a family shower room complete the first-floor accommodation.

With beautiful surroundings quite literally at the end of the drive, Negishi offers a rare combination of privacy, character and an exceptional connection to the countryside.

The rear garden is exceptionally private and beautifully stocked, with a generous lawn surrounded by mature azaleas and rhododendrons, a magnolia and numerous specimen trees and shrubs. A small wildlife pond enhances the natural setting, while an insulated detached outbuilding currently provides an excellent home office.
Perhaps the property’s most distinctive feature is its position directly beside and overlooking Ludshott Common. Extending across more than 700 acres and cared for by the National Trust, this remarkable landscape offers a network of picturesque walks through heathland and woodland, with routes continuing towards Waggoners Wells and Bramshott Common.
