Four of the five bedrooms benefit from modern en-suite shower rooms, creating a comfortable and private living experience.
At the heart of the bungalow is a stunning 44ft x 30ft open-plan living/kitchen/dining area. The space is truly impressive, featuring a spacious lounge with a feature open fireplace, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The high vaulted and beamed ceilings add character and a sense of grandeur.

It features a spacious games/gym room, a custom-built refreshment bar, and a stylish cinema room, creating the perfect environment for gatherings and celebrations. The suite also includes separate ladies’ and gents’ WC facilities, adding to its functionality.
Stepping outside, the entertainment space extends to a large patio designed to accommodate up to 60 guests. This thoughtfully designed outdoor area includes a dedicated BBQ space and a fire pit, all set within beautifully landscaped gardens.
Additionally, a purpose-built office is attached to the suite, making it an ideal space for those who wish to run a business from home. The versatility of this space allows for numerous potential uses, whether for work, fitness, or additional leisure activities.
The bungalow enjoys two private patio areas, ornate paving and pathways, and manicured lawns with wellstocked borders, ensuring the outdoor space is just as impressive as the interior.

ENTERTAINMENT SUITE
SELLER INSIGHT
The compact hamlet of Hatch is just a few minutes away from the bustling town of Sandy and here, surrounded by open meadows and farmland, is the location for this spectacular Victorian property, alongside two, additional, independent, bungalows, thereby creating a wonderful, flexible, homestead, all of which has been the treasured home for its owners for the past four years.
At one time, the main house was once the village pub until it was turned into a residential property some years back. However, since coming to live here, the owners have undertaken a massive project to refurbish and enhance this lovely property with the addition of many bespoke, conveniences, luxuries and comforts, always with great respect to its Victorian past. The individually designed bungalows have also been the subject of meticulous care and enhancement which, with their high vaulted ceilings and contemporary styling are further enhanced with the amount of natural daylight flooding through large amounts of bi-fold doors within both properties. One of the bungalows has been utilised for leisure and entertainment which includes a gym and cinema amongst its many delights.
Much care and love has also been given to the external parts of the complex, with areas for relaxation, with space set aside for family games and fun and includes several attractions for this purpose. With so many amenities, al fresco dining and BBQs are very popular events here. Entertaining, both inside and out, whether it be corporate or large family gatherings are always happy and relaxed events.
Although tucked away in this rural idyll, there is a wealth of excellent amenities very close. The locality has a wide ranging choice of independent schools, whilst state schools are within easy reach. Supermarkets and individual shops are nearby, and Sandy is where the main line station is located for fast and efficient journeys into the capital and, also, to Gatwick Airport, whilst the A1 is minutes from the house. In addition, there are many excellent local attractions which includes the headquarters of the RSPB at Sandy and Shuttleworth Aircraft Museum.
This is a wonderful property, with endless options on its use and is ready for new owners to unpack their bags and enjoy life here in such a fabulous location.*
