3 Location Park House occupies a peaceful rural position about 5.5 miles to the East of Haslemere, in between the villages of Chiddingfold and Plaistow on the West Sussex/Surrey border. Chiddingfold is arguably one of the best villages in Surrey (voted in top 10 UK villages in Sunday Times 2012). The area is renowned for its natural beauty and its accessibility to London (45 miles) and the South Coast (23 miles) via the A3. The property lies adjacent to the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and just outside the South Downs National Park. Park House is equidistant from Haslemere and Witley train stations. Haslemere station, which has a car park, offers frequent services to London Waterloo (from 52 minutes). Haslemere is arguably one of the most popular towns within commuting distance of the capital as it has an attractive, historic town centre and a wide range of shops, supermarkets, restaurants and coffee shops. The larger towns of Godalming (10 miles) and Guildford (15 miles) provide a more extensive variety of amenities. One of the main attractions of the area is the wealth of highly regarded primary and secondary schools available. These include; Haslemere Prep School, Amesbury, Aldro, Cranleigh, St Catherine s, Charterhouse, The Royal School and Bedales. London Gatwick and Heathrow Airports are approximately 30 miles and 40 miles away respectively. The land at Park House is sufficiently open and level for a helicopter to land. Alternatively it could be turned into a polo pitch, if required.

4 Description Park House sits within a beautiful parkland setting with mature trees and four ponds. The equestrian facilities, which stand within the walled garden, are separate from the main house. They are close enough for convenience but far enough away to afford the house complete privacy. Park House was designed by the current owners with Heritage architects and built in The architecture of the property is of a Georgian style with a modern twist. Internally, the design is equally as refined but also encompasses the luxury of all the latest state of the art, modern conveniences. The house extends to square feet and is set around a central hall with a domed atrium-style ceiling that provides natural light to all floors. The front door, with its Palladian style pillars, lit by up lighters, provides an impressive entrance into the wide hallway. There is an access panel controlling the entrance gates in the hallway and a honed marble floor.

Leisure Suite and Cinema Room At the far end of the reception hall is the leisure suite, which is accessed via a glass door that can be locked for security. This part of the building resembles an atrium with floor to ceiling windows on three sides with access to the garden. The pool is made by Falcon and has a jet stream (Swim Master), blue mosaic tiles and an electric cover.

There is a dressing room with fitted cupboards and two ensuite bathrooms. The first of the bathrooms has a mosaic tiled floor, marble tiles, a carved Limestone bath and twin basins with storage beneath. The second ensuite has a steam shower with built-in seating. Each of the further 5 ensuite bedrooms has its own character and interior design carefully planned with calm and contemporary colour schemes.

8 Gardens & Grounds To the south, east and west of the house lie the extensive formal gardens, which were designed by the well known landscape architect, Fiona Lawrenson. These extend to approximately 1.5 acres and have wonderful views, they are also deer fenced for protection. Whilst the house has only been completed since 2007 the gardens have a range of trees and shrubs that enhance the mature setting and create interesting vistas and areas for outdoor entertaining. There is a water feature with 3 fountains and lighting, an area for vegetable planting, hedging to provide privacy and a patio/terrace that runs along the south side of the house provide the ideal setting for outdoor entertaining. The gardens extend into pasture beyond, which gives the landscape a parkland feel. Beyond, there are post and rail paddocks, ponds and areas of woodland. Hidden in amongst the woodland is an ice house, which we believe is grade II listed. To the north west of the house lies the spectacular walled garden, the walls of which are lead to believe are listed grade II, which pertains to the property s former inclusion as part of the Shillinglee Estate. Inside the walled garden is a tarmac tennis court, the manège and the equestrian facilities. This area is divided by a gravel walkway, flanked by trees which are lit by up lighters.

9 Equestrian Facilities The equestrian facilities, which are altogether separate from the main house, are contained within the walled garden. They were used by the New Zealand Olympic squad for training in the run up to the 2012 Olympic Games. Whilst extensive, they are also flexible and could potentially provide a source of additional income or be turned into other facilities, subject to planning. The state of the art stable yard was designed by the current owners for private use and completed in The design deliberately encompasses materials such as clay tiles and bricks which blend in with its grade 2 listed walled setting. It comprises; a brick yard with stabling for 10 horses. The loose boxes are 12x12 in size with the exception of two larger foaling boxes. All of the boxes are rubber lined and have Monarch doors and automatic drinkers. The feature day room has kitchen facilities, views and access to the terrace in front of the outdoor school. The office, has facilities for television and video screenings. There is a kitchen with built-in units, a tack room with sink, laundry room with commercial washing machines, drying room, two rug stores, wash area with solarium, feed store and surround sound radio (in the yard and the school). There is a CCTV system for added security. Behind the stable yard is a lorry park, lorry wash area and machinery stores. The outdoor school measures 60x40 and has a sand and gel mixture surface and speakers for the sound system. The large machinery barn opposite the stable yard houses an office, WC and has double doors at both ends. Behind the barn there are numerous storage rooms. In total there are 8 post and rail paddocks plus an additional turn out paddock, all of which have water. Cottages There are two grooms cottages, each extending to approximately 600 sq ft and comprising; two bedrooms, kitchen, living room and a bathroom. One has gas central heating and the other has electric, both have wood burning stoves in the living areas. There is planning approval for these buildings to be replaced by brick built cottages for information please refer to planning application ref: PS/13/03092/FUL.
