Set within beautifully established grounds and approached via a gravel driveway, Merehanger is an impressive period residence of considerable charm and character. Occupying a private position surrounded by mature trees and landscaped gardens, the property combines charming character with versatile family accommodation, all within easy reach of Haslemere’s excellent amenities.<br/><br/>The welcoming reception hall, with original timber flooring, provides an elegant introduction to the house and leads to a series of well-proportioned reception rooms. The sitting room enjoys a delightful view across the gardens and offers an abundance of natural light, and is complemented by the formal dining room, providing an ideal space for family gatherings. A further reception room offers excellent flexibility and would lend itself equally well as a study, playroom or snug.<br/><br/>At the heart of the home is the superb kitchen/breakfast room with generous work surfaces and a central island. Designed with both family life and entertaining in mind, the space flows seamlessly into a vaulted garden room. This exceptional room provides a wonderful setting for dining and relaxation throughout the year, with views and direct access to the terrace and gardens beyond.<br/><br/>The bedroom accommodation is arranged over the first and second floors and is both generous and adaptable. The principal suite benefits from a dressing room and contemporary styled en suite bathroom, while the remaining bedrooms are well served by the family bathroom. The layout offers excellent flexibility for guests, home working or multi-generational living.<br/><br/>The gardens and grounds are a particular feature of the property, extending predominantly to lawn and framed by established planting, mature trees and a woodland backdrop. A broad terrace adjoining the house provides an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining and al fresco dining. The grounds enjoy a high degree of privacy and benefit from direct access onto adjoining National Trust land.<br/><br/>Merehanger occupies an enviable position on Marley Lane, close to the hamlet of Kingsley Green, on the borders of Surrey, West Sussex and Hampshire. Surrounded by protected countryside within the Surrey Hills National Landscape, the property enjoys immediate access to extensive National Trust land and a wealth of walking and riding opportunities. Despite its wonderfully rural setting, Merehanger is situated just two miles from Haslemere, one of the area’s most desirable market towns.

The area is particularly well regarded for its recreational opportunities, including golf at a number of respected local clubs, polo at Cowdray Park, motor racing and aviation at Goodwood, and sailing at Chichester Harbour. The surrounding countryside, including Blackdown and the Devil’s Punch Bowl, offers exceptional opportunities for walking, riding and enjoying the natural beauty of the area.
