Description Field Cottage is a fabulous family home set in rural Surrey countryside with sweeping views to the west. The house is wonderfully laid out with each room generously proportioned and full of natural light. The house sits pleasantly in its own plot surrounded by fields and woodland. The garden extends around the house and includes manicured lawns to the front and side, whilst to the rear, Beech and Hornbeam hedges, great oaks and a swimming pool with terrace sit perfectly in the environment. Upon entering the driveway the house stands at the end of a turning circle. The front door opens into a large hallway that accentuates the marvellous width and breadth of Field Cottage and the natural flow of downstairs which is well laid out. To the left hand side is a bright morning/music room and adjoining is the more formal dining room, both with charm and character, whilst the wonderful west-facing views of the countryside entice you into both rooms. The main drawing room, with grand ceiling heights and three sets of French doors, is the largest of the downstairs living rooms. With an open fire, it retains warmth in its charm yet double doors allow for the garden to join the room in the summer. Also downstairs is the fabulous Mark Wilkinson family kitchen with a large glass lantern flooding the room with light. From here, the garden leads down to the swimming pool and includes an informal dining area. Other additions on the ground floor include a practical boot room, laundry room, the study and family room off the kitchen, perfect for informal living. On the first floor are six double bedrooms and three bath/shower rooms. The master suite is impressive with a vaulted ceiling, creating extra volume and light. There is a separate dressing room and a beautiful en suite bath/shower room with windows on two side overlooking the gardens. There remains scope, should a buyer wish, to consider further accommodation in the roof space, subject to the usual required consents.
Location Field Cottage is located on Hambledon Road in the pretty hamlet of Hydestile. In a rural location yet within two miles of Godalming town centre, the house is set well back from the road. Godalming and the neighbouring villages of Hambledon and Hascombe fall within the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Godalming benefits from a good range of shopping, including Waitrose and Sainsbury s, banks, bars, restaurants and other amenities, including churches, schools and leisure centre, as well as a main line station that offers a fast and frequent service into London/Waterloo. A more extensive range of shopping, leisure and cultural amenities is available at Guildford. Milford railway station is within one mile and offers a regular link to central London Waterloo with trains from around 45 minutes. The A3 trunk road is also available from Milford with easy road access to both Heathrow and Gatwick airport, the ferry port Portsmouth and London. There is a good selection of state and private schools in the area, including St Hilary s, Charterhouse, Prior s Field, Aldro, Busbridge Infant school, St Catherine s in Bramley, Longacre and Cranleigh. Recreational opportunities within reach include golf at several local clubs, plus shooting and fishing at a number of local venues. There is polo at Ewhurst and racing at Goodwood, Sandown Park and Epsom. Well-equipped sport and leisure centres are available at Godalming, Cranleigh and Guildford, whilst the surrounding countryside offers excellent walking, cycling and riding.
Outside The gardens flow peacefully around the house and offer wide lawns on all sides. With views over neighbouring farmland and beyond to distant hills the positon is idyllic whilst allowing for ease of access to local schools and transport facilities. The outdoor heated swimming pool is surrounded by a terrace with an apple and pear orchard adjacent. There is a double garage and store as you enter the grounds that could be rebuilt to offer further parking or redesigned into guest or nanny accommodation if required (subject to usual consents).
