Situation

New House Farm is set in an unrivalled, elevated position surrounded by its own private land on the Surrey/West Sussex border close to the highly sought-after village of Chiddingfold. Chiddingfold is said to be one of the most desirable villages in the south of England and is home to St Mary’s Church, a good range of shops, including a post office as part of the general store, coffee shop, chemist and traditional butcher. There are also four excellent public houses within the village, most notably the Swan Inn and the Crown Inn, which is believed to date back to the 13th Century. Within the village, there is also an excellent primary school, which is in high demand, as well as a doctor’s surgery and a village hall. Haslemere town, which is only five miles away, provides extensive facilities for day to day needs including a Waitrose, an M&S food hall, a choice of restaurants, pubs and coffee shops, a tennis club, the Haslemere leisure centre and an independent theatre/cinema. The town also has a number of independent shops and boutiques catering for a wide range of styles.

Walks / riding out

Possibly the most special element of New House Farm’s location is the splendid array of footpaths and bridleways that the immediate countryside has to offer, which can be accessed directly from the far south west corner property behind the woodland.

‍

New House Farm

Planning consent was granted to extend the existing property, while joining it to the barn to the north, giving a house and attached party barn of c. 8,000 sq ft, in a mature and private setting together with an indoor pool complex of c. 2,000 sq ft. The design by Ian Adam-Smith is of a classically modern design and will allow for a wonderful through-fl ow of accommodation over two floors, with a real highlight being the stunning kitchen/breakfast room to the rear of the property.

‍

Outbuildings

In addition to the main house, New House Farm benefits from several large agricultural buildings which would lend themselves well to development subject to the usual consents. There is consent for a single storey outbuilding to the east of the main house which would form a stunning courtyard. This building would house the swimming pool and leisure facilities for the property as well as a three-bay garage. There is also another large agricultural barn currently used for the storage of hay, of about 5,000 sq ft in size which is more than large enough for a multitude of purposes dependant on the owners’ interests and hobbies.

‍

Outside

The property benefits from two accesses off the road, one to the east and one to the west. The majority of the land lies to the south of the property and features the old gardens of the original farmhouse as well as pasture, paddock and woodland. Of note, a public bridleway leads directly off the southwest corner of the land linking to a wide array of footpaths and bridleways and providing excellent walking and riding directly from the property.
