Una Bella Casa DI Famiglia Con Dependance E Facile Accesso A Haslemere High Street E Alla Stazione.

Introduction
Built between 1902 and 1906, Jesses is a handsome Arts & Crafts-influenced Grade II Listed family home with a fascinating musical heritage. The house became home to the renowned Dolmetsch family in 1917 and was at the heart of Arnold Dolmetsch’s pioneering revival of early music. In 1919, during his time at Jesses, he successfully produced the first recorder of modern times.
The house’s listed status recognises this important association with the Dolmetsch family, whose influence as musicians, instrument-makers, craftsmen and scholars extended far beyond Haslemere.
Today, Jesses combines that exceptional heritage with generous and highly practical family accommodation, offering five double bedrooms in the main house together with the detached two-bedroom Music Hall, all within delightful mature gardens approximately half a mile from Haslemere High Street.

The property
Jesses features attractive red-brick elevations, terracotta roof tiles and leaded windows. Inside, the current owners have sympathetically enhanced its original character while introducing modern amenities to create a comfortable and practical family home.
The generous reception accommodation includes a dual-aspect sitting room with wooden floorboards and a brick-built fireplace housing a log-burning stove. The adjoining family room provides a further substantial living space, with an Arts & Crafts-style panelled and tiled fireplace, a log burner and a south-facing bay window.
The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with painted cabinetry, granite worktops and a traditional Aga with companion oven, with an adjoining utility room and walk-in pantry providing useful additional space. Upstairs are five beautifully appointed double bedrooms, including the dual-aspect principal bedroom with dressing area and en-suite shower room. A family bathroom with a freestanding roll-top bath completes the first-floor accommodation.

The Music Hall
The original Music Hall is one of Jesses’ most distinctive features: providing almost 900 sq ft of beautifully presented additional accommodation.

Full of character and natural light, it offers a spacious open-plan sitting room and kitchen/breakfast room with a vaulted ceiling and skylights, engineered oak flooring and the original raised stage, a reminder of the property’s musical heritage.

The kitchen features Shaker-style units and integrated appliances. A ground-floor bedroom and bathroom are complemented by a second bedroom on the mezzanine above. This self-contained accommodation is ideal for guests, extended family or an au pair, and currently generates income through short-term holiday lets.

Agents Note:
Planning permission and Listed Building Consent have been secured and remain valid following commencement of the approved works. The approved layout reconfigures the existing kitchen, utility and pantry areas to create a substantially larger kitchen with new French doors and sidelights opening onto the garden, and converts the downstairs cloakroom and adjoining spaces into a fully functioning wet room (Refs: WA/2023/01716 and WA/2023/01717).

Planning: Prospective purchasers are advised that they should make their own enquiries of the local planning authority.
