A privately positioned edge of village house with versatile space and wonderful views in the heart of the South Downs National Park between Haslemere and Midhurst.

THE PROPERTY Collyns Field is quite simply a wonderful home cleverly combining a newly built house (2009) with the conversion and character of a period stable wing (once part of the curtilage of the neighbouring listed house). The house has mellow stone and brick elevations and was designed to take advantage of the lovely southerly views with large windows providing a light and airy interior. The larger ground floor area means that the house can expand or contract with generational needs as the old stable wing can be easily incorporated as part of the house or used for guests or even an ancillary self-contained annexe. The original stalls have been cleverly incorporated and vaulted ceilings give a lovely feeling of space. Upstairs the three principle bedrooms all have en suite bathrooms or showers and there are two dressing rooms, one of which provides an optional fourth bedroom. Downstairs the well equipped kitchen breakfast with AGA has doors out to the garden and terrace as does the drawing room and morning room so the house is very connected to the outside landscape and the beautiful garden. There is also a good boot room providing practical space for country living as there are many local walks on the doorstep.

OUTSIDE The long drive sweeps up over a cattle grid to a large parking area by the house with excellent double bay garage with machinery store, workshop and attic storage. The garden has been well landscaped and stocked and has areas of gently sloping lawn, a wonderful terrace perfect for outdoor entertaining or alfresco dining runs across the back of the house. A brick wall also provides shelter to the garden on the east side and the loggia beside a lower terrace. The landscaped garden is stocked with herbaceous borders, shrubs and specimen trees to provide interest, colour and scent through the seasons. There is also an orchard and a hard tennis court at the southern edge of the garden. Landscaped Garden, Grounds and an Area of Ancient Woodland in all just under 4.5 acres (1.82 ha).

LOCATION Approached by a long sweeping drive the house sits in an elevated south facing position looking over its grounds and with far reaching country views to the village and beyond towards Bexley Hill/Henley. Neighbouring woodland to the west and north provides a wonderful haven for wildlife and birds. Located on the northern edge of Fernhurst the house is remarkably privately positioned but within walking distance of the village with its excellent local amenities, village school and pub. Fernhurst lies in the heart of the South Downs National Park between Midhurst and the highly regarded town of Haslemere which offers a wider range of shopping and sporting facilities and a mainline station with train services to London Waterloo. Close to the town there are a number of National Trust owned areas of common and woodland, including Blackdown and Marley Common, and the whole area is covered in footpaths and bridleways providing great scope for riding, walking and cycling. There is a wide range of primary and secondary schools in the area in both the state and private sector. The larger centres of Guildford and Chichester are within easy driving distance as is London and the South Coast via the A3.
