4 bed detached house for sale

Headley Down, Hampshire GU35

Detached 4 bedroom split level house offering 2,245 sq ft of versatile accommodation (plus garage) in delightful gardens on a quiet lane that overlooks Ludshott Common.

Sherwood is a substantial house, arranged over four levels featuring 4 double bedrooms, 4 reception rooms and 2 bath/shower rooms plus 2 cloakrooms; the versatility is incredible.

The really unique feature though is its idyllic rural position adjacent to and overlooking Ludshott Common, which extends to over 700 acres of heath and woodland under the ownership of the National Trust. From Ludshott Common you can walk to both Waggoners Wells and Bramshott Common, all of these lovely walks right at the end of your drive!

Approached via a quiet unadopted lane the house benefits from a large driveway allowing off road parking for several vehicles in addition to a 22’7 deep garage/workshop.

The front door opens up into an exceptionally spacious entrance hall; ideal for busy families or welcoming guests, with a modern cloakroom refurbished in 2022.
Overlooking the front is a good sized study, but the principle reception space on this level is a super sitting room which extends across the whole of the rear with two large windows enjoying elevated west facing views over the garden, plus a charming feature brick fireplace and wood burning stove.
Moving to the lower ground floor there is a contemporary open plan kitchen/dining room with patio doors onto the garden. The kitchen was designed by Wren and fitted in 2020 and features a range of drawer and cupboard storage with feature lighting, plus integrated dishwasher, double oven and gas hob, with further space for an American fridge freezer.

Behind this sits a formal dining room, which has also been used as a family room/snug, and a good sized utility room and cloakroom.

The majority of the bedrooms can be found on the 1st floor; three good sized double bedrooms with the master benefitting from a fully tiled en suite shower room with waterfall shower head. Complimenting these is the family bathroom, refitted in 2022 this is a fully tiled contemporary bathroom.

A further set of stairs lead up to the 2nd floor, where there is a final 4th double bedroom with ceiling fan, 2 velux windows and eaves storage. Adjacent to this are two loft storage areas; one of which is used as linen room.

Built in 1995 the current owners moved in when the house was 2 years old and have been there for nearly 30 years, a testament in itself.

The garden to the rear is an absolute delight, and it is clear many years of love and devotion have gone in to landscaping it. Adjacent to the house is a lovely part walled patio area with an attractive brick floor laid in a herringbone style, beyond this are steps up to a generous lawn, flanked by well stocked herbaceous border with a useful shed tucked into the corner. To the rear portion of the garden is a fenced off working area with raised vegetable beds. There is an awful lot to explore and enjoy, all in an incredibly quiet position (save for bird song!).
