Outside

At the front of the property, the gravel driveway provides plenty of parking space and access to the detached garage block, for further parking or storage space. The rear garden is mostly laid to lawn with border hedgerow and post and rail fencing to the end and rolling fields beyond. The property is set in a secluded position, with mature trees and hedgerows providing a sense of privacy. Oak Cottage adjoins open countryside, and the 200 acres of woodland and park at Naishes Lane in only a few hundred meters away.

Situation

Oak Cottage is situated in the village of Ewshot, on the Surrey/Hampshire border. Ewshot has a pub (The Windmill), and a church. The quintessential village of Crondall is within a mile and a half, and has a village shop, two pubs, an outstanding-rated primary school, recreation ground and village hall.

The Georgian market town of Farnham offers an excellent range of boutique and high street shopping, recreational and educational facilities, a leisure centre and a good choice of state and private schools. The towns of Fleet and Odiham are easily accessible with the major centres of Guildford and Basingstoke slightly further afield.

The excellent private schools nearby include St Nicholas’ School, Frensham Heights, Charterhouse and Lord Wandsworth College. Communications are excellent with Farnham’s mainline station, with services to London Waterloo within three and a half miles, and the A31/A3/M25 providing access to London, Heathrow, Gatwick and the South Coast. Junction 5 of the M3 is less than seven miles away.

Directions

From Farnham, take Castle Street north away from the town centre and continue onto Castle Hill and then Folly Hill. Continue straight ahead at the roundabout, and then turn left onto the A287/Odiham Road. Continue straight ahead at the roundabout and turn right into Church Lane. Go all the way to the bottom past the pub and turn right into Tadpole Lane. Oak Cottage is the last house on the right.
