8 bed detached house for sale

Dippenhall, Farnham, Surrey GU10

This attractive house with early Victorian origins and exceptional quality, dates back to the mid-1840s, offering generous, spacious accommodation across two floors. The property features bright rooms with picturesque garden views and retains many charming period features, including tall sash windows (some with original shutters) and high ceilings. With flexible accommodation throughout, it also includes a detached, self-contained one-bedroom annexe.

The gardens are a delight extending to around 4 acres of gently rolling lawns, adorned with designated walkways, mature shrubs, hedges and trees, creating a parkland atmosphere with several private, secluded areas. The grounds feature a generously sized outdoor swimming pool, a full-size tennis court (currently disused) and a substantial sun terrace, perfect for relaxing and al fresco dining. There are also productive covered fruit and vegetable growing areas, along with a greenhouse. A unique detached building, once a chapel, now serves as a games room. The property offers ample parking with a circular driveway in front of the house and separate garages, as well as a third access leading to an additional garage and the former chapel.
