5 bed detached house for sale

Leigh Lane, Farnham, Surrey GU9

Great Oaks is an impressive family home offering spacious and adaptable accommodation, with large windows throughout creating an exceptionally bright and airy feel. The property has been further enhanced in recent years by a range of carefully considered modern improvements, including the installation of Schüco double glazing, a pressurised water system, and a new condenser boiler and hot water tank.

The ground floor retains original mahogany herringbone parquet flooring, which extends through much of the accommodation, including a substantial sitting room with a stone-surround fireplace and large bay window, a study opening into a south-facing orangery overlooking the gardens, and a well-proportioned snug. At the heart of the home is a light-filled open-plan kitchen, dining and family room with a semi-vaulted ceiling and expansive sliding doors opening onto the terrace and gardens beyond. The kitchen is fitted with contemporary cabinetry, granite and walnut work surfaces, and a substantial central island with breakfast bar seating, while engineered oak flooring with underfloor heating completes the space. A separate wing incorporating a gym/games room and utility room with secondary kitchen facilities provides excellent versatility, with potential for annexe-style accommodation.

Upstairs, the generous principal bedroom suite includes a dressing room and en suite bathroom, enjoying elevated views. There are four further double bedrooms, one with en suite facilities, together with a family bathroom.

The property is set within established grounds of approximately 1.125 acres. The south-facing rear garden enjoys a high degree of privacy and features a York stone terrace ideal for outdoor entertaining, leading towards an outdoor swimming pool with associated facilities. The gardens include a pond, mature planting and specimen trees, while to the front a generous driveway provides extensive parking. Planning permission is also in place for the construction of a detached garage.

The property occupies a desirable position on a quiet no-through lane, close to the village amenities of Lower Bourne and within easy reach of Farnham’s historic Georgian town centre, which offers an excellent selection of shops, cafés, restaurants and leisure facilities. Nearby centres including Guildford, Haslemere and Winchester provide further extensive shopping and cultural amenities. The area is particularly well regarded for schooling, including Edgeborough School, Barfield Prep School, More House School, Frensham, and Frensham Heights School, and the highly regarded Royal Grammar School (rgs Guildford). Communications are excellent, with Farnham station providing regular services to London Waterloo, while the A31, A3 and M3 offer convenient road links to London, the South Coast and the national motorway network.
