About this house rental
A wonderful family home, Blackdown Border dates back to 1937. The property is beautifully configured and fits perfectly the needs of the modern family with well-proportioned accommodation over two floors.
The Property is accessed via a formal entrance hallway which then leads to the principle reception rooms. The hall leads through an open archway to the formal dining room that can seat up to 10 with double doors opening to far reaching views over the garden and beyond. The drawing room is of an excellent size and features a log burning stove making it a wonderfully cosy place to be in winter. In summer it has a light and airy feel with its large triple aspect windows.
The real heart of the home is the family kitchen with a bespoke design by Mark Willkinson, affording an excellent focus to the house. From here leads to the family sitting room, via the large Utility Room (with space for two large dogs). The family sitting room is a wonderful entertaining space for more informal family moments or for use as a playroom for younger families. It has a large wood burning stove making it warm and cosy for those movie nights in.
The spare twin bedroom leads off the family room with its ensuite bathroom.
Upstairs are four good sized double bedroom with two ensuites and a separate family shower room.
Blackdown Border is approached by two sets of electric gates onto a gravel driveway parking for numerous cars.
Outside there are four sun terraces all facing south west which offer different areas from quiet reflections around a water feature to the large family terrace with hot tub, outdoor sofas, fire pit and BBQ. There is a terrace directly outside the kitchen door with a table and chairs for up to 10. Outside the dining room is a small terrace for sundowners.
The terraces are raised above the flat croquet lawn with an abundance of surrounding shrubs and flowers, accessed by two sets of steps that wind down through planted terraces.
The town is a few minutes drive into Haslemere town which offers a fast service for commuters to London and excellent shopping facilities for day-to-day needs and a choice of restaurant pubs and coffee shops, along with a Tennis Club and Haslemere Leisure Centre. Sporting facilities include golf at Hankley Common, West Surrey, Liphook and Chiddingfold, Racing at Goodwood, Polo at Cowdrey Park, and Sailing on Frensham Ponds and off the South coast at Chichester.
Blackdown Border also has the benefit of offering direct access to a footpath leading directly from the garden on to Blackdown, an area of 965 acres of ancient heathland and woodland owned by the National Trust, which provides excellent walks and rides as well as sensational views over Surrey and West-Sussex, which inspired much of Tennyson's poetry.

It is a wonderful house to stay in with fabulous views and great walks literally right on the doorstep. Our Christmas was made perfect by the care and attention of Louise making sure we had everything we needed and more. We all loved the Christmas decorations especially the tree.

Our stay at Blackdown Border exceeded every expectation. It was the perfect place to get ready for my wedding with my bridesmaids. Louise was attentive, a quick responder with great attention to detail and the welcome bits were so appreciated! The house itself is stunning, and the location so beautiful. Thank you so much for everything.

The venue was lovely with 5 large rooms 3 with en suites. Clean and tidy with plenty of space. I had a couple of nights there with friends and used the garden area and hot tub, followed by a couple of nights with my family again looking out at the wonderful views. Louise the host has been on hand replying to various messages we asked along the journey before, during and even after we stayed

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful home, with 3 generations under one roof for Christmas. The house is spacious and comfortable, and also very cozy. Louise’s Christmas decorations were beautiful, and she even went to the trouble of putting up a tree for us.The kitchen is large and well equipped - we spent a lot of time in this space, cooking together and just hanging out.Louise added many personal touches to welcome us, which were much appreciated.We would love to come back in the summer sometime, to experience the wonderful outdoor spaces and views.Thank you to the Rowlands family for an amazing stay!! We hope to be back!
