A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and characterful home in one of Farnham’s most desirable settings positioned on the highly sought after Gong Hill Drive and set in around 3.2 acres of gardens and grounds.
Dating back to the 1920s, this charming home combines period character with generous proportions arranged over two floors and with many of the rooms enjoying views over the gardens, grounds and the Bourne valley.
The property provides extensive and versatile accommodation across approximately 4,837 sq ft, with further outbuildings adding valuable additional space and in a setting perfect for outdoor dining, entertaining and family life
A welcoming and generous reception hall with fireplace gives access to the principal living spaces, each thoughtfully designed for modern family living while retaining the home’s original charm.
The majority of the reception rooms lead off the hall and include the drawing room with attractive fireplace and double doors that open onto a terrace, a dual aspect games room, a family room with access to the garden and a study with bespoke fitted storage, bookshelves and two desks.
The kitchen is a feature of the home with a range of handmade oak and painted cabinetry, granite works surfaces and an AGA. Steps lead down to the light and airy breakfast room with vaulted ceiling, apex window and double doors leading out onto the terrace and loggia. Just off the kitchen is the utility room and a useful boot room. A cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.
A stunning wide oak staircase leads upstairs to a landing with built in storage and a further galleried landing. The principal suite is a real sanctuary with a dressing room with fitted wardrobes, en suite bathroom with separate shower and a sauna. There are four further bedrooms one with ensuite, a sixth bedroom/occasional sitting room offering a flexible additional space for hosting friends, family or multigenerational living and a family bathroom with separate shower.
Outside, Oakwood really comes to life with its south facing formal gardens, level lawns with established borders, an enclosed swimming pool (requiring renovation), mature woodland and views over the Bourne valley and beyond.
The private driveway leads to the integral twin garages with garden store, changing room, boiler room and covered log store and onwards to the front of the property where there is an oak-framed car port with parking for two cars, storage bay and EV charging point.
