SituationStream Farm occupies an enviable position on the edge

of the much sought-after village of Fernhurst, on the

Surrey/West Sussex borders, in an Area of Outstanding

Natural Beauty within the South Downs National Park.

The village provides a selection of shops, a post office,

church, primary school, doctors’ surgery, active village

hall and a highly regarded public house, The Red Lion.

The pub is situated on a picturesque village green

around which are the village sports grounds, tennis,

cricket and football clubs and a playground, creating

the quintessential English country village setting. More

comprehensive shopping facilities are available in the

nearby towns of Haslemere, Midhurst and Petworth, as

well as Petersfield which is slightly further afield. A wider

range of facilities is available in Chichester, Godalming

and Guildford which are accessed via the A3 and the

A286.

Communications in the area are excellent, with London

being approximately 48 miles away and the A3 giving

access to the south coast, the M25 and Gatwick,

Heathrow and Southampton airports. The sports and

cultural offerings are superb, with racing at Fontwell and

Goodwood, with the famous Goodwood festivals, polo at

Cowdray Park, golf at Midhurst, Liphook and Pulborough

and sailing off the south coast at Chichester. The Festival

Theatre in Chichester, together with the new concert hall

in Guildford, are within easy reach.

Within the area there is an excellent range of preparatory

and senior schools including Ditcham Park, Churcher’s

and Bedales at Petersfield, Westbourne House at

Chichester, Seaford College near Petworth, Highfield and

Brookham at Liphook and Amesbury, The Royal School

and St Edmund’s at Hindhead. Other schools include

Charterhouse at Godalming, King Edward’s in Witley and

Cranleigh School.

One of the key benefits of this delightful West Sussex

village is the wonderful array of footpaths and bridleways

that the surrounding countryside has to offer.

Stream Farm

Stream Farm is a wonderful example of a modern country house. The

property was finished in 2004, with the current owners maintaining it in

excellent condition, giving us the wonderful family home we see today. The

layout of the property is exceptionally well considered, with a thoughtful

through-flow of accommodation over two floors, perfectly fitting the needs

for modern family living.

Of note is the generously-sized kitchen/breakfast room, which features a

beautiful bespoke hand-built kitchen, with painted units under a stunning

granite surface; all with a two-oven on the oil Aga (with the advantage of an

Aga electric attached with two ovens) at its heart. This room, together with

the utility room, was fitted out by Aspect Kitchens in Cranleigh, a firm known

for their finish and quality of work. The kitchen also boasts an extensive

dining area to the end, which benefits from its southern aspect and large

windows, allowing the room to be flooded with natural light throughout the

day. All of the ground floor to the property bar the drawing room benefits

from beautiful stone floors and underfloor heating, allowing the property to

be a wonderfully warm and efficient place to live.

The marquetry of the property is of particular note also, with beautiful oak

wooden doors throughout the ground floor.

Of note: Stream Farm gained planning consent to extend the property

further into the existing roof space, adding another two bedrooms and

a bathroom, although this planning has now lapsed. Planning consent

number : 04/01804/DOM

Gardens and GroundsStream Farm is accessed off Ropes Lane, via a gravelled driveway and an electric fi ve-bar gate. This leads to a gravelled parking area to the front of the property, providing parking for numerous cars. While the majority of the gardens surrounding the house are mainly laid to lawn with some established shrub borders and beautiful mature specimen trees. There is also an extensive area of sun terracing leading directly off the rear of the property which, benefi tting from a southerly aspect, makes a wonderful entertaining space during the winter months.

Beyond the sun terracing are both the stable block and hard tennis court, with the remainder of the land falling away to the south which, together with the elevated position of Stream Farm, allows for beautiful views over the surrounding West Sussex countryside.

Services We are advised by our clients that the property has mains water and electricity, together with private drainage and oil-fi red central heating.
