For Sale5 Bedroom Detached House in Vann Lane, Hambledon, Godalming, Surrey, GU8£3,000,000

A fantastic opportunity, in a magical lakeside setting. Royton provides a buyer with an outstanding opportunity to either extend and modernise the existing house, or to consider a replacement dwelling on this lakeside setting. This is all subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents. The house, we are advised, was built in the late 1920s and has an Arts and Crafts influence and has been in the same family ownership since 1949. Internally are some very fine fireplaces, panelled doors off the reception rooms, a galleried reception hall at the heart of the house and parquet flooring in the reception rooms. The rear of the house sits due south and has the most wonderful outlook over the parkland grounds and lake. The house itself is in need of modernisation, whilst the grounds have continued to be beautifully maintained. At the base of the driveway are a range of outbuildings, providing former stables, garaging and a store, one of which adjoins a neighouring property. This is adjoined by a grassed courtyard area. The stunning grounds are a main feature of Royton, providing a special parkland setting, through which you can enjoy lovely walks. Abutting the back of the house is a substantial paved terrace to take in the spectacular views of the lake. Extending away, the lawns lead down to the lake of about 1.4 acres, that is surrounded by rhododendrons, camelias, magnolias and bluebells. Adjacent to this is a waterfall and sluice with a stream that meanders through the remainder of the grounds. On the southwestern side is a raised lightly copsed area, which sits outside of the grounds that are deer fenced. The remainder of the grounds provide a lovely valley walk, laid to grass, bordered by substantial trees and the stream, leading down to the far boundary. To the front of the house is a caged fruit/vegetable garden. In the north eastern corner of the grounds is a wooded area, whilst the grounds border farmland on the eastern side.
