Kirklands, Derby Road, Surrey, GU27 1BS

Kirklands is a detached family home offering almost 2,500 sq ft of light-filled, flexible accommodation arranged over two floors and requires some updating and modernisation.

Designed to take advantage of views over the gardens and beyond, the accommodation has a natural flow from the welcoming reception hall with wooden floor, useful storage and cloakroom.

The generous dual aspect drawing room has a bay window with bespoke built-in window seating, feature marble open fireplace and French doors to the rear terrace.

A well-proportioned dining room, with wooden flooring, has a part-glazed door to the garden, and across the hall a generous family/sitting room, also with wooden flooring and with full-height glazing incorporating French doors to the terrace.

The ground floor accommodation is completed by a spacious triple aspect kitchen/breakfast room with quarry-tiled flooring throughout.

The front aspect kitchen has a range of wall and base units, tiled worktops and splashbacks and integrated appliances.

The dual aspect breakfast area with space for a sizeable table for more informal meals, has views over the rear garden and access to a neighbouring fitted utility room with a door to a secure covered area linking the house to the garages.

A turned staircase leads to the first floor, and a generous landing with further useful storage and loft access.

The dual aspect principal bedroom features a bay window, with stunning views over the town, walk-in wardrobe with fitted storage and wash hand basin.

There are four further double bedrooms, three with fitted wardrobes and one with a wash hand basin, a family shower room and family bathroom, with a separate W.C.

The property is approached through twin brick pillars over a tarmac side driveway and forecourt providing private parking and giving access to the twin link-attached gable end garages and to an attached side store.

The generous well-maintained garden is bounded by wood panel fencing and mature hedging to two sides and an attractive stone wall to the other two sides, with a charming stone outbuilding/log store.

The garden is mainly laid to lawn, interspersed with well stocked flower and shrub beds.

The split-level paved terrace, accessible from the drawing and family/sitting rooms, is ideal for outside entertaining.

Haslemere offers extensive quality high street and independent shopping, supermarkets including Waitrose, restaurants, cafés, pubs, bars, a tennis club, leisure centre and two hotels with spas.

The surrounding countryside provides numerous golf courses, racing at Goodwood and Fontwell, polo at Cowdray Park, sailing on Frensham Ponds and off the south coast at Chichester, and Blackdown, approximately 965 acres of National Trust-owned pine- and heather-covered forest, ideal for riding and walking.
