Snailing Lane, Greatham, GU33

The property combines the timeless appeal of its original thatched cottage, believed to date back many years, with a sympathetic extension added in more recent times, creating a comfortable and well balanced family house.
The detached property provides generous and versatile accommodation arranged over two floors, including four bedrooms and two bathrooms, one of which is en-suite, alongside three well-appointed reception rooms, a large conservatory with double doors opening to the garden and dining area leading to the kitchen beyond which is a large utility room. There are also two cloakrooms to the ground floor. The accommodation offers flexible living space ideally suited to both family life and entertaining. While the house is presented in good, serviceable condition throughout, it would now benefit from a degree of modernisation, affording purchasers the exciting opportunity to update and enhance the interior to their own taste and create a bespoke country residence.

Outside

The house is approached via a stable yard which serves the property well and immediately highlights its equestrian credentials. In addition to the main house, there is a stable block and a detached double garage and workshop having electric doors and with a substantial room above which could provide excellent ancillary accommodation subject to the necessary local authority planning consents. A particularly attractive feature of the grounds is the gently flowing stream which runs through the land, adding to the overall charm and sense of tranquillity and creating a picturesque backdrop to the setting.
Surrounding the house is a delightful cottage garden, thoughtfully planted and in keeping with the age and style of the property, offering colour and interest throughout the seasons. Beyond the immediate garden, the land opens out into fields, providing open views and a wonderful sense of space and privacy. In all, the gardens and grounds extend to approximately 7.32 acres, including a 0.2 acre strip located on the opposite side of the lane, offering further flexibility and interest. The combination of formal garden, open pasture and natural features makes the property particularly appealing to those with equestrian or smallholding interests, or simply those wishing to enjoy a substantial amount of their own countryside within a protected national park setting.
This is a charming and unspoilt country home in an outstanding location, offering significant potential to create a bespoke rural residence, all within easy reach of the coast, excellent transport links and the wider South East.

Situation
