Taking full advantage of it�s parkland setting of 2.42 acres, Jakes Farm was originally conceived as the low carbon dream home for a very active retired couple and their 108 year old father, Jakes Farm is designed with all main living accommodation on the ground floor, with level access and wide doors, to be adaptable over time to suit all ages and changing family size and requirements. The recently completed colourful entrance drive gives �threshold free�level access to the sheltered front door.
The internal entrance �Street� leads to a breakfast area and attractive courtyard, whilst giving access to two generous main bedrooms, both with their own living areas and accessible ensuite bathrooms. A staircase rises to a�minstrel gallery�(currently used as an office) and a glazed conservatory/sun room which opens onto two useable �green� roof decks.
The open plan kitchen/living /dining/snug areas provide a series of spaces flowing seamlessly, that are multi-use and are great for entertaining. In summer this can be opened to flow out to the large, equipped and partly covered deck and enclosed garden areas allowing outside living, whilst enjoying fine views of the extensive landscaped grounds with lake and �beach hut�, against a woodland background.
With separate access from the courtyard as well as from the main living area, the �North Wing� contains five spaces all with views of the courtyard and across the grounds. The entrance area is fully fitted as an office, leading to a large multi-use area nicknamed the �Cowshed�. It has a wood burner with back boiler, and leads through to another kitchen (and wet room with shower and W.C.) to a fully fitted double height North facing studio with panoramic views. A spiral staircase from the studio leads to a �bed-deck� with double bed and sitting area.
The cowshed has moveable storage units on castors that can divide the space into a bedsit, with a double bedspace separated from a living area next to the kitchen and bathroom. Indeed the entire North Wing can be locked off from the main house as self-contained accommodation for 4 persons.
At the southern end of the house there is an integral double garage plus workshop. There is also generous parking and a carport with inspection pit, as well as a detached 4 car garage with a 2 vehicle car/tractor port (at the time of building we had a collection of six nice old cars, a tractor and 2 ride-ons). The integral garage and workshop could therefore be upgraded and converted to a self-contained 2 person flat.
The house is designed to be low carbon, following best practice in construction and passive design, plus a number of straightforward proven technologies, to achieve comfort in all seasons and low energy use. Although the house is deep plan, with all main living accommodation at ground level, high ceilings and glazing ensure house is flooded with natural day light. It is connected to public main drainage, and surface water is stored by the Balancing Pond (�lake�). Upon completion the house achieved an �A� energy rating of 99%.
Ottershaw is a charming village offering access to local shops, chemist, doctors surgery, dentist, pubs and including Miller and Carter chain restaurant. The property allows easy access to the M25, A3 and Woking Town Centre with its fast rail link to London Waterloo. Ottershaw Village is a short drive away from local town centres with many restaurants, food stores and shops to suit your needs. Ottershaw has excellent golf, tennis and health clubs including Foxhill�s golf and country club and Queenwood Golf Club, whilst also allowing short access to nearby Wentworth, New Zealand & West Byfleet golf courses amongst others. There are popular local state and independent schools nearby.
