Charming 17th century property near Haslemere
Waterhouse Cottage would make the perfect country house for a family looking for a period property with lots of character on the Hampshire/Sussex/Surrey border
Exposed beams and timbers mark out Waterside Cottage as a period house full of charm. The majority of principal rooms have characterful features, while the original house has been extended by the current owners, who added a study and a superb conservatory which opens onto the kitchen.
The drawing room has an Inglenook fireplace - this and the sitting room form part of the original cottage and therefore the oldest part of the house.
Bedrooms are arranged over two floors; the master bedroom benefits from a generous en-suite on the first floor, which has two further adjoining bedrooms, and there are two more bedrooms on the second floor.

Outside, the converted barn was constructed around 12 years ago and currently provides a very handy office with a large store/games room on the ground floor. Three large rooms on the first floor could provide additional accommodation and there is planning permission for a double garage to be built from the existing garage block.
Gardens are mainly laid to lawn with mature and specimen trees and delightful views over the neighbouring lake. The grounds come to just over an acre.
Waterhouse Cottage is situated in the hamlet of Lynchmere on the Surrey/Sussex/Hampshire borders within the South Downs National Park with excellent walking and riding close by.
