Opportunity to acquire and improve two character homes overlooking Wonersh Cricket Ground.

Description

A rarely available opportunity to acquire two period properties which are being brought to the open market for the first time in nearly 30 years.

Barhatch, understood to date from 1830, is an attractive half tile hung family home. The bright and welcoming entrance hall leads to two reception rooms and a conservatory. The kitchen can be found to the rear and there is also a separate utility room. A spiral staircase leads to a versatile family room, and on this floor are four bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Neighbouring Knightons is an exceptionally pretty Grade II listed character cottage originally dating from 1635. Accommodation comprises kitchen, sitting room, two bedrooms and a downstairs shower room. The property has wonderful retained character features including original timber beams and an open fireplace.

Knightons and Barhatch both enjoy individual gardens and views towards the Wonersh Cricket ground. There is ample parking on the driveway for a number of vehicles and a number of outbuildings and sheds offering useful storage.
