EPC Rating = B
A stunning five-bedroom family home in a beautiful leafy green position, with over 5000 sq ft of internal accommodation in this convenient location.
Description
Occupying a prominent, elevated and convenient position along the sought-after Hindhead Road, Longdown House is an elegant Victorian residence that combines classic period character with spacious, flexible accommodation, ideal for modern family life. Carefully restored and extended over time, the property offers over 5,600 sq ft in total, including the main house, a detached garden office, and a separate two bedroom cottage perfect for multi-generational living, guest accommodation or as a lucrative holiday let or long-term rental.
The main house offers accommodation over four floors, beginning with a welcoming entrance hall that flows into the well appointed reception rooms. The memorable drawing room and music room both enjoy high ceilings, large windows and original fireplaces, offering a refined space for formal entertaining or relaxed evenings by the fire. The snug/sitting room, just off the hallway, provides a more intimate setting and adds further flexibility. At the heart of the home is a generous kitchen and open-plan dining area, bathed in natural light and thoughtfully laid out for both family meals and social gatherings. Stairs lead down to the lower ground level, where a large basement, workshop, and several storage areas offer ample space for wine storage, home gym, or hobbies. Of note is the well appointed utility / boot room fitted with a useful dog shower. The basement provides direct access to the gardens.
On the first floor, the generous principal bedroom suite enjoys wonderful views and features a dressing room and luxurious en suite bathroom. Two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom complete this level, arranged around a striking central galleried staircase that creates a sense of space and architectural drama. The second floor offers two additional double bedrooms and a further bathroom ideal for teenagers, visiting family, or an au pair setup. Accommodation on this floor could also be used as the principal main bedroom suite if required.
One of the most appealing aspects of Longdown House is the presence of Poppy Cottage, a charming two-bedroom detached annexe situated within the grounds. With its own private access, the cottage comprises a bright, open-plan kitchen/sitting room and a shower room on the ground floor, with two comfortable bedrooms. Whether used as an independent space for relatives, a guest house, or a self-contained rental, Poppy Cottage adds exceptional value and flexibility. Please note – Poppy Cottage is separately for sale with Savills, however, it can be included as a package at an additional cost.
In addition, the property features a fully detached garden office, currently configured as a spacious and functional workspace with full power and heating. This presents an ideal solution for those working from home or running a business, and offers an environment completely separate from the main house, adding to its appeal.
The grounds are beautifully landscaped under an acre and bordered by mature planting that ensures privacy and tranquillity. There are level lawns, multiple sitting areas, and ample room for outdoor dining and entertaining, all set against a backdrop of countryside views and nearby National Trust land.
Location
Longdown House is situated in a highly desirable location within approximately one mile of the popular market town of Haslemere, train station and within circa 2.5 miles to the Devil’s Punch Bowl, Blackdown and the A3.
Haslemere offers excellent shopping including a range of excellent independent shops, a Waitrose, M&S Foodhall and several restaurants and pubs. There are a number of schools, banks, churches and a museum. The mainline railway station provides a frequent service to London, with journey times to Waterloo from around 53 minutes.
There is a good selection of state and private schools in the area, including Highfield and Bookham, St. Edmund’s, Amesbury, St Ives, Churchers College and Beadales etc.
Recreational activities within reach include golf at a number of local clubs including Hindhead and Hankley Common, polo at Cowdray, racing and flying at Goodwood and sailing at Chichester Harbour. The surrounding Surrey Hills offer ample scope for walking, cycling and riding in beautiful countryside.
