Description
Welcome to Greystead House, an exquisite Grade II listed manor house nestled within a quiet cul de sac in the popular village of Wrecclesham. We believe this property was built and owned by Absalom Harris, the founder of Farnham Pottery, which is situated close by.
This distinguished property offers a harmonious blend of historical charm and modern comforts and still boasts many of the original character features including high ceilings, picture rails and incredible fireplaces. The accommodation on offer is substantial and offers just under 2700 sq. ft. spread over two floors, plus an attached double garage.
As you enter the hallway you are greeted with a light and spacious area, offering access to all ground floor accommodation. To the left you have a double aspect formal lounge. It is a large light room complete with high ceilings, picture rails, beautiful cornice and an incredible feature fireplace.
Leaving this room you go back into the hallway which leads through to an open sitting room. The character flows seamlessly through into this room and you again have high ceilings, picture rails and cornice with a beautiful open fire. This room can be used for many purposes including play room/study. From here you have large glass double doors that open up into the formal dining room and also access to the downstairs WC. The formal dining room is a lovely room with a garden view, with an original fireplace which is believed to have been commissioned and painted by Absalom Harris.
From this room you have access to the garden and double doors leading through to the kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen offers plenty of storage and worktop space. There are some integrated appliances including a double oven and hob. you have access to the garden through the back door. There is a corridor that leads through to an extra storage area and a separate utility room.
There is a single storey extension to the rear of the property which is large in size and has sliding doors leading out to the patio area. With a little work this could be converted to a self-contained annexe by knocking through to the attached storage room.
As you go up to the first floor you are greeted with a light and airy landing area offering access to the accommodation on offer; the principal bedroom, a large double aspect double room, complete with built-in wardrobes and large en-suite. You have two further well-proportioned double bedrooms and two smaller single bedrooms. There is the option of combining the two single rooms, if required, to form four large double rooms.
From the landing you also have access to the family bathroom, loft area and storage cupboards.
This incredible period home is situated centrally in its plot which is circa 0.4 acres and offers formal lawns with a large block paved drive where you can park plenty of vehicles. You have access to the double garage and storage area and there is a well complete with pump. Situated in a quiet cul de sac this home gives you a semi rural feel yet is within close proximity to local amenities and highly regarded schools.
Internal viewing is highly recommended.
