Description

Pine House is a magnificent residence with fantastic living and entertaining space, set in fabulous landscaped gardens.

The house enjoys a delightful private position, with far reaching south west facing view over treetops.

The property was built around a hundred years ago in the Arts and Crafts style and offers over 4000 sq ft of light filled, flexible accommodation.

The well-presented interiors begin with a welcoming entrance hall, which leads into the wonderful sitting room with fireplaces at either end. The sitting room connects through to a contemporary glass framed conservatory/garden room. This is an impressive, spacious and airy retreat. Double doors open to a sprawling outdoor terrace, allowing for seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining and an opportunity to soak in the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape.

A later1930's addition to the property is a spectacular office/music/party room of approximately 40 ft, with a double height vaulted ceiling, working fireplace, floor to ceiling windows and double doors on the west side opening out to the terrace and garden. This 'Music room' was added to the property by Ernst Freud, modernist architect and son of Sigmund Freud and retains original stained glass, which was designed by Dutch modernist artist Ernst van Leyden.

The family kitchen is a chef’s dream, with attractive shaker style cabinetry in a contemporary grey with granite worktops and Sub Zero and Wolf appliances.

A large centre island provides ample space for meal preparation, while an area for dining offers a place to enjoy meals with serene views.

Neighbouring the kitchen there is a utility room and access to the front and back of the property. There is also a boot room, two guest WC’s and large lobby adjacent to a secondary entrance to the house, great for returning from muddy walks.

The bedroom accommodation is spacious and well-appointed, each with its own unique charm and views of the treetops. On the first floor there are four bedrooms, including two double bedrooms with en suites that enjoy the rear garden view and a family bathroom serving the remaining bedrooms on this level. On the second floor there are two further bedrooms.

Pine House is set back from the road, with a carriage driveway behind automatic gates. There is ample space for parking and a spacious garage with eaves storage above. The front garden features an ornamental pond surrounded by lawn and an array of mature plants. To the rear is an impressive south west facing garden with an expanse of stone-paved terrace, a perfect setting for outdoor gatherings.

There is also a large area of lawn leading to a more naturalistic section of garden and woodland, which ensures privacy and a sense of connection to the surrounding landscape.

At the end of the garden is access via a five bar gate on to a local lane with pathways to both Churt and Grayshott.

The plot measures just over 1.5 acres.
