5 bed detached house for sale

Peace Meadow Close, Lower Bourne, Farnham, Surrey GU10

A contemporary five bedroom home with woodland views and a wonderful sense of privacy.

Description
Occupying an elevated position within a private hilltop cul de sac of just five houses, this contemporary Mediterranean influenced eco home enjoys far reaching treetop views and an exceptional sense of privacy. Surrounded by countryside and mature woodland, the setting is peaceful and secluded, yet well placed for access to Farnham and a range of local amenities.

Architecturally striking, the house is defined by clean lines, flat rooflines and extensive glazing, with generous terraces that maximise natural light and create a strong connection between the interior and its landscaped surroundings. The elevated position provides attractive outlooks across the adjoining woodland and over Lower Bourne, reinforcing a strong sense of calm and connection to the natural landscape.

The approach is deliberately discreet, with an understated frontage, electric gates and mature planting combining to create an immediate sense of seclusion. Once inside, however, the house opens dramatically to the rear, where expansive living spaces are filled with natural light and enjoy panoramic views across the surrounding trees and countryside.

The accommodation has been carefully designed with modern family life in mind, offering generous proportions, an open flow between rooms and a layout that balances contemporary style with everyday practicality. The first floor is centred around a large dual aspect open plan kitchen, dining and family room, forming the social heart of the house. With extensive glazing and direct access to a wide rear terrace, it is ideally suited to both entertaining and daily living, with far reaching views enjoyed throughout. A separate sitting room provides a quieter and more intimate space, complemented by a utility room and a cloakroom.

Bedroom accommodation is arranged on the ground floor, providing privacy and a strong connection to the gardens and woodland beyond. There are five well proportioned bedrooms in total, three of which are en suite, together with a family bathroom. The principal suite is particularly impressive, featuring a dressing area, a spacious en suite bathroom with a free standing bath and French doors opening onto a private patio. All bedrooms benefit from glazed doors opening directly to the garden, ensuring excellent natural light and an outlook onto greenery.

At the core of the house is a strong commitment to sustainability and comfort. Energy efficiency is delivered through solar panels, an air source heat pump with underfloor heating, and high levels of insulation paired with quality windows and doors, resulting in a consistently comfortable internal environment. A whole house ventilation system provides continuous fresh air circulation, while integrated air conditioning offers cooling and supplementary heating as required, together with air filtration and purification to enhance indoor air quality. Additional features include a reverse osmosis water filtration system with filtered instant hot water tap, a Loxone smart home system with multi room audio, and superfast broadband.

The gardens are arranged over two levels and are accessible directly from most rooms, reinforcing the strong indoor outdoor connection. A large elevated rear terrace provides a superb setting for outdoor dining, entertaining or quiet relaxation, overlooking the surrounding treetops. Subtle uplighting to the woodland edge allows the garden and views to be enjoyed into the evening.

In addition, the property includes adjoining private woodland, providing control over the immediate natural surroundings and helping to preserve both privacy and outlook. The woodland attracts a variety of wildlife, including deer, birds and other native species, and offers potential for gentle recreational use, further enhancing the sense of countryside living.
