South Farm Lane, Bagshot, GU19

Property Reference: 2240343.

A captivating, 18th century, traditional, yet fully refurbished red brick farmhouse located in the grounds of a picturesque 125 acre estate. Approached by a private lane, this gated property sits in the middle of its ½ acre land and comprises 5 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a stand-alone converted granary suitable for office/entertainment space, double garage with additional storage, secure parking for multiple cars behind automated gates and an enclosed sunny garden.

On entering the property through the front door there is a dedicated entrance lobby and under-stairs storage which lead into a characterful drawing room with a working open fire and beamed ceiling. Opposite, is a family room/snug with a working clear glass wood-burning stove and a charming mix of exposed brick wall and timber ceiling. These living areas are cleverly separated from the functioning areas of the house with its large open kitchen that contains a brand new American fridge/freezer, double electric oven, electric hob and extractor, dishwasher, double stainless steel sink and plenty of worktop area and kitchen cabinets. A cosy breakfast area with an inglenook fireplace and fully functioning wood-burning stove with double opening glass doors is part of the kitchen but separated by an open doorway. Around the back of the inglenook, but within the same space, is a dining area with french doors opening on to the west facing part of the garden. Adjacent is a self-contained office/study with its own dedicated entrance that would suit someone working from home who requires clients to have separate access. All these rooms described have stunning, newly refurbished wooden floors.

The ground floor is completed by a very generous utility room with a built-in set of well thought out cupboards and worktop that house the alarm system, the telephone master socket with space for the router, under-counter slots for a washer and dryer as well as open shelving and, as a centrepiece, the original, yet non-working, cooking fireplace of the old farmhouse. A door from here leads into the cloakroom decorated in Farrow and Ball paint with a charming vanity unit and a bi-fold door into the boiler room and extra storage. The utility room can also be accessed from outside and is a perfect self-contained space in which to de-camp with shopping, muddy boots and other paraphernalia before entering the main part of the house while also being able to look out fully on to the garden.

On the first floor there is a very large sunny master bedroom with stunning views of the surrounding garden and arboretum, a walk-in wardrobe and additional wardrobe leading to the discreet and gorgeous en-suite bathroom, again with leafy views, which comprises double integrated sinks with storage below, a stand-alone bath and a generous separate shower. Two more double sized bedrooms and a fully tiled family bathroom with a sink and vanity unit, walk-in shower, glass shelving and two heated towel rails make this a sumptuous space. This room houses the hot water storage tank and has slatted shelving to maximise this as an airing cupboard for linen.

The landing area outside this bathroom has open shelving under the stairs that lead up to the 2 attic bedrooms that are accessed by an internal door. These bedrooms are ideal as a teenage retreat, live-in nanny/au pair, children’s play area or for spill-over guests. There is a large landing area from which both bedrooms are accessed. The larger bedroom can accommodate a 4ft double bed with bedside tables and has beautiful old beams that separate the bed nook from a study/storage area. The smaller bedroom, again beamed, is more suited to a king-size single bed with bedside tables, a desk and or chest of drawers. Both rooms are centrally heated and have recessed downlights.

Outside, at the front of the gravelled property, is a beautiful, genuine granary that has been fully updated as a garden office/teenage retreat space. Again, this would suit someone working from home who wishes their clients to be separated from the hubbub of home life. There is very generous parking that can accommodate up to 8 cars, with automated gates providing security and privacy. The standalone double garage is around the back of the house and has a pull down ladder that accesses an additional 20sqm of usable storage space. The garden is mainly laid to grass with borders containing a mix of roses, rhododendrons, azaleas, clematis, honeysuckle and evergreen shrubs. The gravelled area immediately outside the utility room has a courtyard feel and is ideal for barbequing and soaking up the sun all day long.

South Farm is within Windlesham Arboretum, so tenants are able to enjoy free access to the Arboretum with its 125 acres of land, lakes, follies and abundant wildlife and, as such, the property makes an ideal base for a family who wish to enjoy the countryside and yet have almost instant access to major town/city and airport hubs.

South Farm is within walking distance of Lightwater with a Co-op Supermarket open until 10pm most nights, takeaway food shops and a BP garage with an M&S shop. Lightwater Country Park is also walkable and includes a newly refurbished community centre with gym, tennis courts, badminton courts, sauna and a good cafe. Further shopping facilities can be found in Sunningdale, with a Waitrose Supermarket, Ascot, Windsor, Woking and Camberley. Rail connections include Bagshot(which is walkable) and Sunningdale, which, at less than 10 mins drive away, is 50 minutes direct into London Waterloo. Brookwood/Woking are the other nearby mainline stations with faster arrival times into Waterloo.

Road communications are particularly good with South Farm being situated at junction 3 of the M3. As a result, Terminal 5, Heathrow is 20 minutes, Gatwick 50-60 minutes. Bracknell, Reading, Basingstoke, Guildford and London are all easily commutable.

There is extensive schooling nearby, with renowned senior private schools including St Mary’s Ascot (10 minutes), Heathfield, Eton College (25 minutes) and Wellington College (25 minutes) and prep schools including Hall Grove (5 minutes) Woodcote House (5 minutes), Sunningdale School (10 minutes), Lambrook School, Eagle House and Papplewick.

The Gordon School (3 minutes) and Charters School are two highly recommended senior state schools both with an outstanding Ofsted rating. While LightwaterVillage School (3 minutes) Valley End Infant School and Windlesham Infant School likewise have an outstanding rating.

With Ascot racecourse, the Wentworth Club, The Guards Polo Club, Swinley Forest for walks and biking, ChobhamCommon and multiple golf courses all within a short driving distance from the property, there is no shortage of activities close by.
