Property Description
Kingsley House is believed to have been built in 1906 for the daughter of the renowned 19th century surgeon and pathologist, Sir Jonathan
Hutchinson and is a fine example of an Arts and Crafts country house. It was also a private hotel, regularlyvisited by The Wind in the Willows author, Kenneth Grahame.
Throughout, the house retains much of its original character with bright spacious reception rooms, leaded light windows and moulded ceilings as well as the impressive light main staircase. The generous accommodation offers a total of up to nine bedrooms over two floors thereby giving extremely flexible and spacious family accommodation with the potential to create staff accommodation if desired. The adjoining double garage building provides a single garage space with utility area, WC and games room above. A detached pool house comprises heated swimming pool, leisure or gym area, changing room and WC.
Situation
The house is located close to the hamlet of Kingsley Green on the slopes of Marley Heights on
Marley Common, with its many acres of National Trust owned land. This semi rural location is also extremely convenient for Haslemere town with its excellent shopping facilities and main line station (very regular services to Waterloo, from 49 minutes). The A3 can be easily accessed at both Hindhead and Liphook and provides access to Heathrow, Gatwick, the M25, London and the south coast. Local schools include Amesbury, Highfield, St Ives, St Edmunds, and The Royal School. Bedales, Charterhouse and Cranleigh are also within easy reach. There is golf at Liphook, Old Thorns and West Surrey; racing at Goodwood and Fontwell, polo at Cowdray Park and sailing at Chichester.
Outside
The house is approached through electric gates, up a gravel drive through an attractive parkland to a parking and turning area to the front. The gardens are landscaped with flat lawn, an elevated terrace with a rotunda and views, numerous mature specimen trees and shrubs, and areas of light woodland. Within the grounds there is an indoor swimming pool complex.
