Property description
Offered to the market for the first time in thirty years, this spacious and beautifully presented family home occupies a peaceful, elevated position with views over adjoining woodland. Benefiting from a recent extension and comprehensive modernisation, this five-bedroom property offers highly flexible and well-considered accommodation throughout.
Set within a small horseshoe of similar homes, discreetly positioned back from the road, the property is approached via a generous in-and-out driveway that provides parking for several vehicles. Dual side access is available via a garage—fitted with double doors to both the front and rear, leading to a log store, to the other side, a gated path leads to a metal storage shed. A wall-mounted power point provides the opportunity for electric vehicle charging.
Steps lead up to a bright entrance porch with ample space for coats and shoes. From here, you enter a welcoming reception hall with a central staircase.
Occupying a T-shape to the right of the home is the primary reception area, comprising a modern kitchen/diner, sitting room, and utility room. The kitchen features extensive countertop preparation space, including a central island/breakfast bar, and ample storage at both base and eye level with a sleek gloss finish. Integrated appliances include an electric hob and double oven, with additional space for further appliances. A cased opening leads seamlessly into the dual-aspect sitting room, where French doors and floor-to-ceiling windows facing south and west flood the space with natural light. A characterful feature fireplace, constructed with exposed brick and an Indian fossil sandstone hearth, is topped with a seasoned oak mantel beam and surrounds a log-burning stove, adding warmth and charm. The adjoining utility room offers further storage, appliance space, and direct access to the garden.
The ground floor currently includes two generously sized double bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes, offering versatility for guests, home offices, or multi-generational living. A modern shower room completes the downstairs accommodation.
Upstairs, a spacious landing with two storage cupboards leads to three further well-proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom includes fitted wardrobes and a modern en-suite shower room. Bedroom two is dual-aspect with views over the woodland and also benefits from fitted wardrobes. Bedroom three includes useful eaves storage. A stylish family bathroom serves the upper floor, complete with a bathtub and wall-mounted shower attachment.
The rear garden is beautifully landscaped and designed for both relaxation and entertaining. A paved patio provides the ideal setting for al fresco dining and features a detached office with its own WC and integrated hand basin—perfect for remote working. Black roped fencing with climbing greenery and well-stocked borders frame the patio, while elegant blue Staffordshire paving stones guide you to a raised terrace. This area is defined by a striking combination of Purbeck stone and red brick walls, complete with built-in terracotta pipe planters and a decorative water fountain flowing into a feature pond. Beyond lies a small lawn, and further up is a level terrace with a substantial outbuilding offering excellent storage. Behind this is a productive vegetable garden with raised beds and a greenhouse—ideal for home-grown produce. From the elevated garden, enjoy open views across rooftops and the surrounding woodland.
Just across the road lies stunning woodland, much of it owned by the National Trust. A scenic ten-minute walk through the woods will bring you to the Crown Inn pub in Arford.
Headley Down is a semi-rural village nestled within the South Downs National Park. It sits close to the larger village of Headley and the town of Bordon, offering a blend of countryside living and convenient access to amenities, including convenience stores, a petrol station with a small supermarket, a doctor’s surgery and pharmacy, the Hollybush public house, a delicatessen, and the aforementioned Crown Inn. Vast areas of National Trust common land are nearby, including Ludshott Common. Larger towns and villages—such as Haslemere, Liphook, and Grayshott—are within easy reach, with mainline stations at Haslemere and Liphook offering access to London Waterloo. For golf enthusiasts, nearby courses include Hindhead, Hankley Common, Liphook, Cowdray, and Old Thorns Golf & Country Club.
