Detached house for sale in Tanners Lane, Haslemere, Surrey GU27

St. Marys House is located on Tanners Lane, moments from the heart of Haslemere town.

Dating, we believe from the early 1900s, the origins of St. Marys House are of once a children's home and school. The property has been subsequently modified and extended over the years and presents as the family home we see today.

Highlights to the property include a large yet comfortable drawing room with open fire and plentiful windows commanding wonderful views over the garden, and the generously proportioned kitchen/breakfast room which benefits from a large island, pantry, plentiful storage, and direct access via French doors onto the terrace and the fenced pool area beyond. Further to the ground floor are a separate dining room, family room, utility room, and cloakroom.

To the first floor are five bedrooms in all; the principal suite is of excellent size, with a small sitting area, bathroom and dressing room on either side. The further four bedrooms are all excellent doubles, with bedroom five currently used as a study. Notable, the majority of bedrooms have built-in storage. Of note, the second, guest bedroom has an en suite shower room, with a family bathroom located centrally off the hall.

The property benefits from private grounds over just over a third of an acre. It is bounded by mature hedging, with the gardens mostly laid to lawn, and featuring an array of plants and trees including a wisteria wrapping around the pergola, acers, roses and hydrangeas. There are several terraces dotted around the house, making most of the sun as it travels throughout the day, with one being adjacent to the swimming pool well-placed for the afternoon sun.

Of note, there is a secondary, former garage still in situ, described in Accommodation and Amenities as a garden store, which would lend itself well to a home office/gym subject to the usual consents.
