SITUATION The Hop House benefits from an attractive elevated situation on a quiet country lane with rural views to the south and is sheltered to the north by its own land rising gently behind. Conveniently located just 2.5 miles from the vibrant country town of Farnham, Frensham is an ancient settlement with evidence of human habitation from earliest times and became a centre for hop production in the 17th century. Farnham offers a very good range of local services including High Street shopping, supermarkets, restaurants, museum, art galleries, The Maltings event venue and the Farnham Sport and Leisure Centre. There is also a main line station offering a fast and frequent service into London (Waterloo) with journey times of around one hour. Road connections are also good with the main A31 providing the north-south link between the coast and London, and via the M3 and M25 with the national motorway network and the airports. There is a choice of good schools in the area including Frensham Heights, Edgeborough, St Edmunds, Charterhouse, St Catherine s, Prior s Field and The Royal School among others. Recreational opportunities include golf and tennis at a number of clubs within reach, polo at Cowdray Park, racing and flying at Goodwood, sailing at Frensham and Chichester, the multi-activity centre in Farnham. In addition the surrounding countryside offers ample opportunity for walking and riding directly from the property if desired.
DESCRIPTION Listed Grade ll, The Hop House is a substantial and impressive family home with the benefit of a large plot, detached cottage, extensive garaging and leisure amenities and land that offers equestrian possibilities if required. Understood to date from at least the early 18th century the property was originally a farm building for the bagging and drying of hops produced nearby. It became a residential building when the wellregarded Victorian architect Richard Norman Shaw was commissioned to design and oversee its conversion around 1870. Various alterations and additions since that time and extensive modernisation by the present owners have resulted in the superb family home we see today. Whilst the basic structure of the original building has been retained including the magnificent oak staircase and gallery and an absolute wealth of substantial exposed timber; the property now offers a range of light and spacious reception rooms, up to eight bedrooms if required, seven with beautifully appointed en suite facilities. The property is ideally arranged for formal entertaining whilst at the same time being perfectly suited to relaxed family living. The heart of this lovely home will undoubtedly prove to be the particularly spacious and well-appointed kitchen including a three-bay AGA, integrated appliances and central island work stations and breakfast bar. The open plan arrangement within the kitchen and the generous breakfast / dining area is perfect for those morning coffees and easy get-togethers with friends and family. Bedroom accommodation is no less impressive. Laid out over three floors this comprises as many as eight bedrooms including the luxurious master and guest suite. The large third floor bedroom and en suite shower room would be ideal as staff accommodation or teenage den.

The drive continues uphill past the children s play area to the cottage and pool area from where lovely rural views may be enjoyed. Beyond this a one acre meadow would be ideally suited as a pony paddock.
