Tilford Road, Hindhead, Surrey, GU26

A rare opportunity to acquire a much-loved Edwardian family home that has been carefully enjoyed for nearly four decades. Combining generous accommodation, exceptional garden and timeless character within a highly desired village setting.

Built in 1906 and cherished by the same family since 1988, Tumblers is a handsome Edwardian residence that perfectly balances period character with comfortable family living. Set back from Tilford Road behind a generous gravel driveway, the property offers almost 2,000 sq ft of well-proportioned accommodation (including a workshop and timber garden studio) and beautifully established gardens extending to approximately 100 feet.

The welcoming entrance hall immediately sets the tone, showcasing original features and graceful proportions. The principal reception rooms include a bay-fronted dining room, a formal sitting room with working open fire and double doors which open onto a delightful garden room overlooking the rear garden, providing bright and versatile living spaces ideal for both family life and entertaining.
The kitchen connects to the conservatory, creating an informal dining area flooded with natural light. The kitchen offers built in storage alongside an integrated oven and hob with space for a slimline dishwasher. A rear lobby connects a walk in pantry to the kitchen and also provides access to a study/utility area in what would previously have been the garage. A cloakroom with useful additional storage completes the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs the first floor offers four good sized bedrooms with the landing providing access to the loft via a glass skylight. The principal bedroom enjoys a peaceful outlook over the mature gardens, while bedrooms 2 and 4 both have vanity sink units within. The formal family bathroom features a character roll top bath, and there is a separate walk in wet-room style shower off the landing which is fully tiled and benefits from underfloor heating.

One of Tumblers’ greatest attractions is its established rear garden, extending to approximately 100 feet in length, it has been a passion of the current owner, beautifully landscaped over many years to offer shape, colour and interest throughout the year. The garden offers an extensive lawn, colourful borders, mature trees and flowering shrubs, plus several seating terraces provide ideal spaces for outdoor dining and entertaining. To the side of the main patio is a childrens playhouse whilst tucked away within a hidden garden area accessed via a rose arch at the rear is a substantial timber garden studio only installed last year which offers excellent flexibility as a home office, hobby room or workshop (a dedicated power supply would need to be installed). A separate workshop/tool shed to the side of the house further enhances the property’s practicality.
