Sporting facilities include golf at Hindhead, Hankley Common, Liphook and Chiddingfold, racing at Goodwood and Fontwell, polo at Cowdray Park and sailing on Frensham Ponds and off the south coast at Chichester.
Merrymead also has the benefit of being just a few moments away from Blackdown, an area of 965 acres of ancient woodland owned by the National Trust, which provides excellent walks and rides as well as sensational views over Surrey and West Sussex. Merrymead Merrymead is a substantial and well-proportioned family house which, in part, dates back to the 1930’s. The property enjoys a superb balance between the convenience of the town and the mainline station on its doorstep, whilst enjoying a rural position, set in mature and well-established grounds. Merrymead enjoys fine views over its private gardens as well as a delightful outlook over the valley. Merrymead is a handsome family home and a fine example of 1930’s architecture. There are an array of classic features, including two substantial gable ends, tile-hung elevations and attractive leaded light windows. Internally, the house is very typical of its day, with excellent ceiling heights throughout and well-proportioned rooms which provide a light and airy feel. The majority of the reception rooms face south-west, which allow one to take in the delightful views over the mature gardens. Despite having been well maintained by our clients during their ownership, Merrymead provides the incoming purchaser with a superb opportunity to put their own identity on the property.
Outside The gardens are a prominent feature of the property. They provide a remarkable degree of privacy and seclusion and add to the charm and the character of the house. Merrymead is approached via a tarmac lane which leads off the Petworth Road, through to a private driveway which provides parking for several cars. The gardens are host to some wonderful mature shrubs and trees, most notably the array of well-established Rhododendrons, which provide magnificent colour throughout the spring months. To the south of the property is the outdoor swimming pool, which is well maintained, and sits in a well-screened part of the garden. There is also a secondary access which leads through to an area of hard standing which, subject to any necessary planning consents, could provide a superb area for a garage to be built. On the western boundary there is also access to a pathway that leads through National Trust land, all the way through to the high-street.
