Shortheath Road, Farnham, GU9

A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial detached family home, offered to the market for the first time in over 40 years. Situated within walking distance of local schools, 58 Shortheath Road presents an exciting opportunity for a new owner to modernise, remodel and potentially extend the property, subject to the necessary planning consents.

Offering generous and versatile accommodation across two floors, together with established gardens and a private driveway accessed from Firfield Road, this is a home with considerable scope to create a superb long-term family residence.

The welcoming ground floor offers a particularly versatile arrangement of living and bedroom accommodation.

The fine living room provides an inviting principal reception space, featuring a character fireplace that forms an attractive focal point. A separate front-aspect family room offers additional reception space, while the front-aspect conservatory enjoys a southerly orientation and views across the garden, providing a pleasant setting in which to relax and enjoy the natural light.

To the rear is a further living room, overlooking the garden and offering flexibility for a variety of uses. This leads through to a fifth bedroom, which could equally lend itself to use as a home office, study or guest accommodation. A convenient en suite shower room serves this room.

The rear-aspect kitchen overlooks the garden and is fitted with a range of cupboards and worktop surfaces. With the potential for reconfiguration or enlargement, subject to planning, this area offers an excellent opportunity to create a contemporary family kitchen and entertaining space.

The first floor provides four bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The principal bedroom is a generous double room and benefits from its own en suite cloakroom. Three further bedrooms provide flexible accommodation for children, guests or additional work-from-home space.

There is also potential to convert the loft to create a principal bedroom suite, subject to the necessary planning permissions and building regulations, offering an exciting opportunity to further enhance the accommodation and make full use of the property‘s existing footprint.

Outside

The property enjoys both front and rear gardens, with the driveway accessed from Firfield Road.

The gardens are predominantly laid to lawn and are complemented by established shrub borders and mature hedgerows, providing a good degree of greenery and privacy. The south-facing aspect to the front further enhances the outdoor space and is particularly enjoyed from the conservatory.

The combination of established gardens, driveway and the property‘s detached position provides an excellent foundation for creating an attractive family home.

Having been cherished by the same owners for more than four decades, this is a property that offers something increasingly difficult to find: space, position, character and genuine potential.

The house would now benefit from modernisation and offers considerable scope for renovation, reconfiguration and extension, subject to planning. Whether looking to create a spacious contemporary family home or undertake a more comprehensive transformation, 58 Shortheath Road provides an exciting blank canvas.

With local schools within walking distance, versatile accommodation, established gardens and no onward chain, this is an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking a substantial detached home in Farnham with the potential to add significant value and make it their own.
