DESCRIPTION
Upper Highfield Farm is an exceptionally characterful and historic Grade II listed house dating back to circa 1554 with mixed elevations of Bargate stone, brick, and some part tile hanging under a tiled roof.

Over the years the property has been enlarged, but in the past two years the house has been extensively restored and redecorated and is presented in immaculate condition throughout. With an abundance of exposed wall and ceiling timbers and exposed brick and stone, open fireplaces, an Inglenook fireplace in the sitting room, good ceiling heights and brick flooring, Highfield House offers a wealth of charm and medieval character mixed with modern ease of living. The kitchen/breakfast room is a delightful farmhouse kitchen, fully fitted with a double Aga and double Aga Fridge/freezer. There is also a large pantry cupboard.

In addition to the main house there is an impressive split level 2/3 bedroom barn open to the eaves with a wealth of exposed oak timbers, solid oak flooring and exposed stone and brick walls. The barn boasts spacious accommodation with a master bedroom and fitted dressing room/possible nursery, contemporary bathroom
suite with muted Mediterranean tiles and chrome sanitary ware, the second bedroom is open to the eaves with a Velux window and built-in wardrobe, a very large living area with an imposing stone canopy above an Inglenook fireplace and wood burning stove, a mezzanine study area, dining room, fully fitted kitchen/breakfast room, large utility/laundry room, cloakroom and gymnasium (possible bedroom 3) with a sprung floor, mirrored wall and ballet bar (potential living area/ bedroom three).

LOCATION
Upper Highfield Farm can be found at the end of a country lane, in an elevated position, on the edge of Thursley village, which lies within a conservation area and has a picturesque church, cricket green and country pub.

The villages of Elstead and Churt are close by with a range of shops for day-to-day amenities whilst the larger towns of Haslemere (approx. 8 miles), Guildford (approx. 11 miles) and Farnham (approx. 13 miles) are all easily accessible and offer an extensive range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities.

The area is well known for its close proximity to a number of well-regarded schools including Charterhouse, Barrow Hills, Prior’s Field, King Edwards and many more. The property is situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, at the top of a no-through road, which gives unrivalled access to miles of National Trust land, including The Devil’s Punchbowl, ideal for walking and equestrian pursuits. The house is also very convenient with easy access to the A3 and a mainline station at Godalming (approx. 6 miles) with direct links to London Waterloo (approx. 45mins). A closer station is located at Witley which is approximately 4 miles away.

Grounds, Gardens & Outbuildings:
There is a hard standing stable block housing 10 stables (currently run as livery business earning an income of approximately £84,000 per annum), a 22sq. ft tack room, tractor store, hay barn and office. There is also an Olympic size floodlit sand school, tennis court and large workshop with exposed brick walls and power and light ideal as additional office space, gymnasium or workshop. There is currently planning permission to convert the area behind the stable block into additional stabling.

The property is approached via a five bar gate to a gravelled parking and turning area in front of the house, with lawns interspersed with shrub beds. A paved path leads around the side of the house to a south facing terrace with a retaining stone wall. Steps lead to the landscaped rear garden which is predominantly laid to lawn with an array of specimen trees and shrubbery, the recent erection of a timber summer house, a Red Cedar decking
area, a raised vegetable garden, a raised circular patio of York stone and a ground level patio also of York stone.
