Marley Wood is a rare, characterful family house set within almost four acres of secluded woodland on Marley Common. Substantial living space is arranged over three floors, centred on a dramatic vaulted drawing room with open fire and double-height glazing that frames southward views across Black Down and the South Downs National Park. Principal reception rooms and bathrooms benefit from underfloor heating, and three bedrooms have bespoke Smallbone wardrobes—finished to a high standard throughout.
Outside, formal lawns, terraces and a croquet lawn lead to a heated swimming pool and entertaining terraces, creating a private and sheltered garden oasis. The plot’s mature trees and woodland belt provide strong seclusion while still being within convenient reach of Haslemere town and the mainline station (around 2 miles). Direct National Trust heathland access and nearby countryside walks extend the property’s appeal to families who enjoy outdoor life.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the freehold house is large (approximately 6,827 sq ft) and comes with substantial grounds, so ongoing maintenance of gardens, pool and outbuildings should be expected. The property occupies a quiet, hamlet location accessed via a private lane, which favours privacy but means local services and the station are a short drive rather than immediate walk. Council tax is noted as quite expensive.
In sum, Marley Wood is suited to a family seeking space, character and privacy in an affluent South Downs setting, with high-quality interiors already in place. Buyers should be comfortable with the upkeep a large period house and extensive grounds require, and with the rural location on a private road.
