Offered with no onward chain.

A superbly presented substantial wing of a Victorian country house with a fascinating history, full of character and original period features offering incredibly flexible accommodation to suit a multitude of family requirements.

Polecat Hill offers a tree lined approach to Anthony Place with no 3 being the wing furthest from the road. A side wall with traditional ball topped stone pillar leads to a gravelled driveway and open car port, offering covered parking for two vehicles plus additional space for another 2 vehicles.

The front door opens into a traditional tiled, bright and spacious entrance hall with access to the principal reception rooms, whilst off to the side are stairs to both the upper floors and down to the lower ground floor; a multi-functional area with guest bedroom, utility room and an additional reception room. There is a further room which is accessed externally from either the utility room or the terrace off the sitting room, this is currently set up as an office/gym by the current owners, but offers a multitude of uses, perhaps even a Cinema Room. Within the stair well set up on each floor are a set of storage cupboards, originally this was a Butler’s Lift which served all floors.

Returning to the ground floor, immediately in front of the reception hall is a formal drawing room, boasting an impressive open fireplace with pretty tiled inserts and mantelpiece, and tall windows with French doors which open out to a stone laid terrace area, letting natural light flood in.

Next is the dining room, a spacious area in which to entertain with a large window to the front of the house, which links two equally important rooms, the kitchen and the sitting room. The kitchen is bright and spacious, enjoying a dual aspect with a substantial range of Shaker style fitted base and wall hung storage units in addition to plenty of work-surfaces. A large Belfast sink sits beneath a window overlooking the garden. There is large Range cooker and hob with extractor fan above and an integrated dishwasher. There is also access to a small attic for storage. The kitchen and dining room both have a solid oak wooden floor, with the kitchen benefitting from under-floor heating.

Completing the ground floor accommodation is an impressive sitting room which has a large picture window offering stunning views over the rear gardens and beyond to Hindhead’s National Trust Land. A log burner with slate hearth sits neatly in one corner, adjacent to this are French doors which open onto a large composite decked area, again with exceptional views across the gardens.

Moving to the 1st floor there are four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master bedroom offers an impressive dual aspect; a bright and spacious room due to two Juliette balconies looking out over the gardens and beyond, providing an ever changing colourful panorama. Currently it has fitted wardrobes and drawers tucked away to one end, but there is potential to reconfigure bedroom three and adjoining bathroom to include provide the master suite with a dressing room and en suite. Bedroom two is a large double, fitting a King-size bed, looking out over the rear gardens. It has an original feature fireplace and floor to ceiling fitted wardrobes. Bedroom four is currently used as a study.

Finally we head to the 2nd floor; which is given over in it's entirety to a spacious bedroom with a large array of bespoke, fitted shelves and hanging spaces in the eaves.

The house sits on a plot of 2/3rds of an acre with multi use areas, including a large lawned side area which leads off the large composite decked area from the family room; offering superb elevated views and perfect for al fresco dining in the summer months. The lawned area is bordered by mature shrubs and trees. Stairs from the decked terrace leads to a brick/paved patio area with access to the utility room and the office/gym. A pathway meanders around the garden, past a pretty stone seating area, through a series of terraces with mature flower beds with many varieties of shrubs and flower bushes providing year round colour and interest. At the far reaches of the garden are some hedges which lead to an area of private woodland with a gate providing direct access to the Hindhead Common National Trust land. There is also a timber garden shed and an outside store area.
