Knox Farmhouse, The Straits, Bordon, GU35 9NS

A substantial Edwardian farmhouse set within gardens and land of around 5.4 acres.

Description Dating from 1901 and complemented by sympathetic later additions, this attractive detached farmhouse occupies an idyllic position within around 0.5 acres of beautifully tended formal gardens, together with a further 6 acres of adjoining fields.

The property is within a conservation area and enjoys far-reaching country views, exceptional privacy and a wonderfully tranquil rural setting.

The house presents classic red brick elevations beneath a slate roof and sits gracefully within its grounds.

A welcoming entrance hall sets the tone, providing access to a cloakroom and the principal reception rooms.

To the front of the house, the dining room is a particularly elegant space, featuring a fireplace, a square bay window and a dual-aspect outlook, making it ideally suited to formal entertaining.

Opposite lies the generously proportioned drawing room, again dual aspect with its own bay window, offering excellent natural light and views across the gardens.

Double doors from the drawing room open into a further sitting room or study, which enjoys a dual aspect and direct access to the garden.

This space works equally well as a quiet retreat, home office or additional family living room, offering notable flexibility.

At the heart of the home is the bright and airy kitchen/breakfast room, benefitting from a roof lantern, dual aspects and direct access to the garden, creating a strong connection between indoor and outdoor living.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of built-in units and appliances, including a dishwasher and fridge/freezer, alongside a freestanding electric cooker.

There is ample space for a large dining table and a relaxed seating area. A separate utility room completes the ground floor accommodation.

The first floor provides five well-proportioned bedrooms arranged around a central landing. The principal bedroom offers a dressing room and a private en-suite bathroom.

A second bedroom also benefits from an en suite bathroom, while the remaining three bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family shower room. One bedroom adjoins the principal dressing room.

Outside, the gardens are a standout feature, laid mainly to lawn and framed by established borders, mature trees and shrubs, creating an attractive and sheltered setting immediately surrounding the house.

The property is further enhanced by a detached double garage and a comprehensive range of equestrian facilities, including three stables, a foaling box, tack room and log store.

These are thoughtfully arranged and sit well apart from the main house, making the property particularly well suited to those with equestrian, smallholding or rural lifestyle interests, without compromising the enjoyment of the formal gardens and principal residence.
