A contemporary style period home in a desirable south Farnham location.
Located in a quiet, leafy location on the edge of Farnham, Springfield is a grand, detached six bedroom period home in a plot of about an acre, and has been extended and updated by the current owners who have thoughtfully combined stylish modern interiors with the property's Arts & Crafts origins.
The house is approached via a gravel driveway with electric gates, providing ample parking and access to a newly added double garage with an electric car charging point.
Springfield was built in the early 1900's and retains period features including original doors, fireplaces and joinery. A covered porch has feature tiling and the original panelled front door with beautiful stained glass inserts. This opens up to a welcoming hallway with a downstairs cloakroom, with beautiful oak herringbone flooring that flows throughout the ground floor and benefits from underfloor heating.
The house has generous living accommodation including four reception rooms. The sitting room overlooks the rear garden and has an ornate fireplace with marble insert flanked by built in alcove cabinetry, and a wide bay window with a Crittall style door leading to the terrace. This is open to another spacious reception room, which is set up as a music room but could be used as a dining room. At the front of the property is a cosy snug/family room that has an original ornate open fireplace. The property has been extended to create 24 ft study/games room spanning the west side of the house, which is flooded with light from a wide roof lantern and triple aspect windows and doors.
On the south east corner, the property has been extended creating a fantastic and spacious kitchen/dining room with views across the garden. This south facing room has great natural light, amplified by two lantern rooflights and Crittall style bifold doors opening up to the terrace, and features a wealth of shaker style cabinetry including a wide kitchen island with breakfast seating for seven. The kitchen has been highly specified and includes two integrated American style fridge freezers, two dishwashers, a main sink with a hot water tap and double stainless steel prep sink, both with pull out bin units. Off the kitchen there is a walk in pantry with matching shaker cabinetry and a walk in wine store. There is also a useful adjacent boot room/utility with an external door that has coat and shoe storage and built in shaker cabinetry.
A wide sweeping staircase leads up to six bedrooms spread across the first and second floors, all which have been updated and decorated, and feature column radiators and fitted wood shutters. On the first floor, the principal bedroom has double aspect views over the garden and a feature fireplace, and benefits from a spacious walk in dressing room with built in wardrobes and a luxurious en suite shower room. On this floor there are two further double bedrooms, one of which has decorative wall panelling, that are served by a newly fitted family bathroom with stylish encaustic tiling, a double vanity unit, bath and separate walk in shower.
On the second floor there are three further bedrooms, two with cast iron fireplaces, that are served by a further family bathroom with separate shower.
Outside the garden wraps around the house to the rear, which is south facing and has been landscaped to include a wide entertainment terrace with a separate BBQ area. The garden is mostly lawned and enclosed by mature trees and hedging.
