Detached house for sale in Henley Park, Normandy, Guildford, Surrey GU3

Henley Park Farm House is a fine Grade II listed country house often found further afield in Hampshire yet rarely seen in these parts of Surrey.

Understood to date from 1654 and owned by our clients for the last 13 years, the house is packed full of historic charm with beams and working fireplaces. The house has been designed for modern family living with approximately 3353 sq ft of well-presented accommodation including three good reception rooms, a conservatory and a wonderful kitchen/breakfast room with electric Aga and a cinema room.

The principal bedroom faces south and affords distant views over its own land and beyond to the Hogs Back. There are four further bedrooms and three bathrooms. In addition, there is wonderful attic space which could (subject to any consents) be converted to further bedroom accommodation.

The property is approached off the road through an impressive cantilevered gate into a sweeping gravel driveway with plenty of parking near to the house. The actual gardens have been lovingly laid out to provide masses of year-round colour with well stock borders and a south facing terrace. Part of the garden has irrigation with water provided from a well on the property.

Further from the house is the paddock with detached substantial garage/stable block which can either be three garages and one stable or two garages and two stables.
