Scotlands Close Haslemere, Surrey, GU27
Sold
4 Bedroom House Sold
Detached midcentury home in a quiet cul-de-sac with 4-bedrooms, 2-receptions, 2-bathrooms, garage, off-street parking and large garden with a summer house. 5-min drive to Haslemere station, an hour to the coast.
Set a discreet distance back from the road, this mid-century modern home has a wide footprint, wide garden and wide glazing to the front. Built in 1960, an early whiff of Scandi design endowed it with wood cladding, several beautiful wooden floors, varnished straight wood bannisters and large windows. This house is built into a sloping plot, making the first floor ground-level at the rear. So the rear of the ground floor is a huge underground storage area (although only 1.2m high) accessed from the ground-floor, there's also an XL fitted loft. The entrance hall (with two walk-in cupboards) currently hosts a baby grand piano with room to spare. Also on this floor is a well-turned-out double bedroom, a sizeable single bedroom and a recently refurbished shower room/WC with a large walk-in shower cubicle. The integral garage long ago became a large utility room.
Head upstairs for airy living space where the dining room and sitting room connect. Connect to the countryside and enjoy stunning sunsets via the wall-to-wall windows in the dining space, and the double aspect in the sitting room. Just off the dining room is a beautifully fitted kitchen with solid wood cabinets, matching dressers and a large freestanding stove. A door opens out to the garden. The two larger double bedrooms are on this floor, one with en suite bathroom.
The garden spreads wide and deep and looks across a beautiful large field (spot the deer) with a distant border formed by many majestic trees. The well-built "summer house" was originally a sculptor's studio so it's very light, with running water and good recently-refitted electrics and is cool all summer. This is a genuine extra room, currently used as a spacious office/studio.
Catch the morning, afternoon and evening sun and sunsets from the nicely made terrace right at the top of the property.
Local state schools are all good (Shottermill, Camelsdale, St Barts), with Shottermill Infants being rated 'outstanding' by Ofsted. Woolmer Hill is a very good state secondary, while nearby private options include The Royal School, Amesbury School and St Edmunds.
You're a three minute drive to Haslemere station for trains that reach Clapham Junction and London Waterloo in under an hour. Haslemere is a beautiful historic town with a good selection of high street and boutique shops, supermarkets, restaurants and leisure/spa facilities. The A3 is easily accessible and provides links to the M25 for Heathrow and Gatwick airports as well as the south coast.
Haslemere lies on the edge of the South Downs National Park and the land adjoining the house is an official Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The DevilÂ’s Punch Bowl and Black Down are both only a few minutes away, providing excellent walking and some of the best views in the south of England.
