Location

In the heart of the Surrey Hills and just on the edge of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is the beautiful country estate that is Pockford. Pockford House occupies a wonderfully private situation surrounded by its own extensive grounds from which it enjoys southerly views over its farmland and woodland beyond.

Historic Chiddingfold is the archetypal English village with its church, duck pond, period buildings, old smithy, local shops and pubs all gathered around the village green. Once renowned for local glass-making, Chiddingfold is a friendly and active community now famous for the impressive Guy Fawkes celebration held annually.

Communications are excellent. The main A283 road through the village connects with Petworth and Chichester in the south and with Milford and Godalming in the north. From here the A3 trunk route provides the link to London and Portsmouth and to the airports and the national motorway network via the M25 at Wisley.

Fast and frequent rail services to London are available from Haslemere, Witley, Milford and Godalming. The international airports of Gatwick and Heathrow are easily accessible and the private air field at Farnborough is about 20 miles away.

In addition to local shops in the village for daily needs there is an excellent range of food shopping and general services at Haslemere, Cranleigh and Godalming, whilst at Guildford there is a comprehensive range of shopping, leisure and cultural amenities including theatre, cinema and sports centre.

There are a number of good state and private schools in the area including the village primary and nursery schools, King Edwards at Witley, Priors Field and Charterhouse among many others.

Recreational opportunities include golf at several clubs within reach, country pursuits at a number of local venues, polo at Cowdray Park, shooting at Bisley, racing and flying at Goodwood and sailing at Chichester. In addition the surrounding countryside offers ample opportunity for walking and riding.

Description

POCKFORD HOUSE
Pockford House stands at the end of a long treelined driveway and enjoys far-reaching views over its parkland and down to Pockford Brook.

The Grade II Listed house is a beautiful family home boasting picturesque Georgian elevations and a three bay symmetrical façade with sash windows under a plain tile hipped roof. Stunning creepers including a wisteria adorn the front façade. The well-proportioned reception rooms blend beautifully with the earlier features of the mid 16th Century house including inglenook fireplaces, timber beams and a farmhouse style kitchen.

The accommodation extends to 4,855 sq ft over two floors and a large cellar. The front door leads into the entrance hall, which serves the drawing room, study and dining room. To the rear of the house, behind a baize door, lies the butler's pantry/WC, a large kitchen/breakfast room and a sitting room of earlier period with substantial inglenook fireplace incorporating bread and meat ovens, and french doors leading out to the terrace of the walled garden. There is also a sizeable cellar with a subterranean window to the walled garden, with brick staircases to both the dining room and rear sitting room.

The stair hall leads up to the first floor landing. The principal bedroom sits at the rear of the house and at the front of the house are two guest bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom, benefitting from far reaching views over the grounds. The hallway serves a third bedroom and a family bathroom.

GARDENS AND GROUNDS
The house is set in beautiful private grounds and gardens featuring a terrace, part covered with a pergola and formal lawns with herbaceous borders to the east, south and west of the house.

The gardens to the east and rear of the house are enclosed with hedges, trees and shrubs and are part walled. The lawns to the west feature iron railings and gates, a round stone pond with a figurine and stone benches and a stunning 'floating' hedge over a sloping planted border with central stone steps. Beyond is further formal lawns overlooking the surrounding, rolling pasture land. To the rear of the house is a south-facing conservatory/garden room which adjoins the stable block.

Beyond the enclosed garden, is a secluded courtyard which features a heated indoor swimming pool complete with bi-folding doors, a plant room, shower, W/C, and changing facilities. Situated between the pool and the gardens is an outdoor tennis court. Within the courtyard is a Grade II Listed, 18th Century Barn, boasting a beautiful timber frame on a brick base with timber weather-boarding under a tile roof. The barn is split into two; one half is currently used as a party barn, featuring a timber floor, stained glass windows, a mezzanine level and an attached kitchen and store room to the rear. The second half is used for storage and features double carriage doors at the rear. Attached is a separate Store Room with utility sinks.

STABLES, STABLE COTTAGE AND OFFICE EQUESTRIAN FACILITIES
To the rear of the house is a range of traditional stables, cottage, estate office and garages. The range of buildings can be accessed from the rear farm drive as well as from the house. The traditional red brick stables include four loose boxes, a tack room and store. To the rear of the stables and the conservatory is a double garage.

Attached, is a charming two bedroom cottage with an adjoining granary and rear garden. The granary is currently used as an estate office and is accessed from stone steps however the space can be used as an additional reception room to the cottage and be accessed through the kitchen. At the far end and adjoining is a triple garage and a tractor store to the rear.

EQUESTRIAN FACILITIES
The estate includes equestrian facilities which include a selection of fence and rail paddocks situated near the stables, a sand school, an all-weather turnout area, and a concrete muck bay. The estate provides wonderful hacking and there are bridlepaths to enjoy riding across the neighbouring countryside.

FARM BUILDINGS
Accessible via a separate entrance from the farm drive are a range of modern farm buildings, including a grain dryer, a range of general purpose barns, and a four-bay cattle shed.

NO 1 & 2 POCKFORD FARM COTTAGES
Accessible via a separate entrance from the farm drive are two semi-detached three-bedroom cottages, each with a private garden, currently occupied by tenants.

POCKFORD FARM
The estate extends to a total of 197 acres, with around 131 acres of pasture and 57.4 acres of woodland. The woodland to the south encompasses ancient woodland and is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).

The land has been farmed organically, making it well suited for practices in regenerative agriculture or initiatives aimed at rewilding, especially considering the presence of ancient woodland throughout the estate. The pasture areas are currently under a grazing license, and one of the agricultural barns is used for the storage of hay and straw.
