4 bed bungalow for sale

Headley Down, Hampshire GU35

Substantial detached bungalow offering over 2,000 sq feet of accommodation in addition to a double garage and numerous outbuildings. Situated in mature and private level grounds of almost 1⁄2 an acre.

This beautifully presented detached bungalow has been considerately extended and modernised by the current owners with a superb open plan, part vaulted dining/garden room with wide sliding patio doors onto the grounds, creating a seamless extension of the garden into the home and a lovely vista which changes with the seasons.

Approached off a private lane into a substantial driveway offering parking and turning for numerous vehicles in addition to a detached double garage with workshop to the rear and storage above.

The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall, Immediately to the left you enter a formal sitting room, with two huge windows to the front this is a naturally light room with a central fireplace and wood burning stove providing focus for the room. However, the eyes are naturally tempted and drawn through to the dining/garden room which is off to the left and can be seen through a wide opening. This dual aspect room with vulux windows in the vaulted ceiling and a full wall of sliding patio doors is an exceptional room, surrounded by gardens which can be viewed from nearly every angle. With underfloor heating in place you can be toasty warm throughout the winter and in the summer you can throw the doors wide open.

In turn the dining room is open plan to a modern fitted kitchen, also with under floor heating. This has a generous amount of fitted drawer and cupboard storage in addition to a large central island, it also benefits from integrated double oven with warming drawer, microwave, gas hob, wine fridge and dishwasher.

A door from the kitchen leads through to a rear lobby, a master suite and utility room. The master bedroom is double aspect with bi-folding doors opening onto the garden and a large en suite bathroom with both corner bath and separate shower unit. The adjacent utility room opens into another room currently used as a dressing room. This collection of rooms could easily be used as an annex if needed.

Moving back to the main entrance hall, if you turn to the right there are three good sized further bedrooms and a family shower room. One of these rooms is currently used as a study, once again demonstrating the incredible versatility this property offers.

Sleepy Hollow sits in a plot of approx 1⁄2 an acre, with gardens surrounding on three sides, all behind mature hedging offering a high degree of privacy. Behind the garage is a "working area" of the garden with two Rhino greenhouses (one with a heater), a shed, raised vegetable beds and an orchard area. There is also currently the garden office which may be available via separate negotiations.

However, it is the remainder of the gardens that are particularly enchanting and the real jewel in the crown of this property. The current owners have undertaken significant landscaping and through a labour of love created a garden with numerous feature areas.

Adjacent to the reception rooms of the house is a wide patio area with level lawns stretching away interspersed with well stocked shaped flower beds. Sweeping around the rear of the bungalow is a large wildlife pond surrounded by mature shrubs; the current owners have seating arranged on the lawn under the dappled sunlight of a silver birch tree which is the perfect spot to while away the hours. Beyond this you arrive at the orchard and working garden. Tucked away in the other far corner of the garden (next to the drive) is another terrace, covered by an attractive pergola and currently home to a jacuzzi hot tub, finally there is a BBQ terrace; a patio area also covered by a pergola, but additionally with fencing on three sides providing a lovely sheltered spot protected from any wind.

A description doesn't really do this garden justice, it really needs to be explored, when all the senses can take in the sights, smells and feel of the garden, it is simply lovely.
