"The location offers great flexibility - with rolling countryside and ancient woodland on the doorstep and central London less than an hour away."

This exciting five-bedroom house designed by the architect Kate Stoddart, occupies an wonderful rural location in the picturesque village of Ewshot. Taking an original 1960’s house, Kate Stoddart transformed and extended the internal spaces, to over 2,430 sq ft across two floors, all of which have been more recently refurbished to an exceptional standard. In addition to the main house, there is also a self-contained studio room positioned in one of the two gardens. Perfectly located for easy access to the surrounding countryside, connections to the capital are also excellent, with train services running from Farnham and Fleet to London Waterloo in under one hour.

The primary entrance is positioned at the side of the house, leading through to an impressive double-height entrance hall; a beautifully bright space with floor-to-ceiling glazing allowing light to flood through the central plan. Perhaps the most spectacular room is set to one end of the house: an expansive open-plan living / kitchen / dining room with full-height glazing, a log-burner and polished concrete floors running underfoot. This room has a wonderful dual aspect onto the two gardens on either side.

Also on the ground-floor is a second reception room, currently used as a family room, a study, cloakroom and a generously-sized utility room. A beautifully crafted bespoke timber staircase leads up to the first floor. The master bedroom suite, with a dressing area and en-suite bathroom. There is a second bedroom with an en-suite shower room as well as three further bedrooms and family bathroom. One of these bedrooms, currently in use as a playroom, has a wonderful vaulted ceiling making it, like many other spaces in the house, an airy and uplifting room.

Externally, a self-contained studio room is positioned in the internal courtyard, providing an excellent home working space, studio or workshop. The house has two main garden areas, a secluded courtyard-style garden at the rear and a more open, west facing, lawned space to the side. There is off-street parking for multiple vehicles at the side of the house.

Kate Stoddart is a highly-regarded residential architect who has previously worked for a number of established international practices including Broadway Malyan, Terry Farrell & Partners and the California-based John Onken.

Located on a quiet residential lane the house is well situated in the centre of the village. Ewshot is a small, picturesque village on the Surrey / Hampshire border with a church and a popular pub, The Windmill. The neighbouring village of Crondall has an “outstanding” primary school and a Montessori Nursery as well as a village shop / Post Office and two pubs. The countryside surrounding Ewshot and Crondall is some of the most attractive in the South East.

Ewshot is a short drive from Farnham, an historic market town of that is routinely named as one of the best places to live in the UK, thanks to its historic town centre, vibrant cultural life, excellent transport links and the beauty of the surrounding countryside. It has a thriving town centre which offers a mixture of independent and well-regarded chain restaurants, shops and boutiques. It also has a renowned arts centre, the Maltings, and a well-regarded arts university. Guildford is also within easy reach.
