Woodcock Bottom, Grayshott, Hindhead, Hampshire, GU26

Substantial detached 1930’s cottage which has been extended to create a modern family home, which enjoys surrounding elevated woodland views within a half acre plot. Situated in the very heart of Grayshott village; a superb opportunity for vibrant family life with a garden full of lifestyle features. Offered with no onward chain.

Found on a quiet residential lane, just a minutes’ walk from the shops and services in the centre of the village, whilst also being only a few seconds from National Trust woodland walks, a very rare combination indeed. The property enjoys an incredibly private position with mature trees, hedges and rhododendrons providing excellent screening as well las a rural outlook.

Electric (remote controlled) gated access opens into a large driveway with parking and turning for several vehicles, in addition to an open bay double car port plus a double detached carport/garage/workshop. Steps flanked by mature rhododendrons lead down to a Wisteria clad front door (there is also alternate side access slope) which opens into a welcoming reception hall with wood flooring extending through most of the ground floor.

To the right hand side are three flexible reception rooms; a dual aspect family room with bay window and open fire, which leads to a music room and office; really useful flexible space for busy family life. But the real wow rooms, where you will live, dine and entertain are found to the left of the hall. Firstly an open plan kitchen/dining room, extending the full depth of the house with bi-folding doors opening onto a large decked terrace providing panoramic elevated views over the garden and woodland vista beyond. The dining area as well as enjoying that stunning view also benefits from underfloor heating, this combined with the heat from the Aga means this is a toasty warm room throughout the year. There is a stylish range of fitted drawer and cupboard storage, complemented by a large central island. Off to the side is a large utility room with excellent additional storage and twin butlers sink; it’s almost a working kitchen to the showroom kitchen next door!!

We then come to the sitting room a substantial triple aspect reception space with central wood burning stove which allows for large get togethers with family or friends.

Moving to the first floor the principle suite benefits from a vaulted bedroom with double doors opening onto a Juliette balcony, enjoying those aforementioned spectacular views; the perfect spot to awake and watch the world come to life, our clients have spotted numerous birds within the gardens including woodpeckers, nuthatches, robins and bluetits. Alongside is a dressing room and en suite bathroom.

To the opposite end of the house is a 2nd en suite double bedroom; ideal for guests or teenagers, whilst the two central double bedrooms share a generous family bathroom; complete with twin sinks, an extra wide bath and separate shower.

The grounds here are exceptional, a real rural feeling retreat, sitting in a half acre plot which the owners have carefully maintained whilst adding in lifestyle features that make it perfect for entertaining. Adjacent to the house is a wide decked terrace with plenty of space for dining and lounge furniture, steps lead down to a surrounding lawn bordered by mature woodland and hedging. To the end of the garden a feature pond has been created with steps and decking over leading to a Savannah style breeze house complete with heaters and electrics. The removable side panels and heaters mean this can be used all year round for entertaining, as a hide to watch the wildlife, or as a quiet escape from a busy family home.
