A spacious and well-presented farmhouse-style home nestled in the heart of the Surrey Hills, within half a mile of Abinger Hammer, and close to the villages and of Shere and Peaslake, this superb family home offers a peaceful location with beautiful countryside views, yet within easy reach of local amenities.
Recently extended and refurbished, the ground floor provides a light-filled adaptable space for both family living and entertaining. The large, open-plan kitchen/living/dining area provides the main social hub for the home and features a fenestrated barn-style oak gable and roof lantern which flood the room with light. Direct access onto a large patio and the garden is gained via bi-fold doors and is perfect for Summer entertaining. The fencing surrounding this area is pet friendly. The main reception room leads directly from the kitchen via double-doors and features double aspect windows, parquet flooring and a feature fireplace with wood-burning stove, as well as window seating. In addition, the ground-floor offers a newly refurbished utility/boot room, large WC plus additional storage areas.
The first floor offers 3 generously proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom offers a newly refurbished en-suite shower room, plus built-in wardrobes, and features a balcony overlooking the fields with space for seating. In addition, there is a good-sized family bathroom with bath and walk-in shower, plus separate WC.
The top floor features a large bedroom/living area suite with dual aspect windows and roof-lights, plus shower room.
A small garden room completes the accommodation, suitable for use as a home office.
The property is situated on a generous-sized plot with mature hedging offering privacy from the road, and a large gravel driveway suitable for parking several vehicles. Adjacent is a large, insulated double garage and wood store. The gardens are mostly laid to lawn with mature fruit trees, plus a wooded area with bluebells and other wildflowers. The patio area adjacent to the kitchen catches the setting sun and is perfect for Summer dining and entertaining.
This property is ideally situated for those seeking to enjoy a country lifestyle: local footpaths and bridleways can be accessed on foot via the adjacent lane which also gives easy access to the mounting-biking hub of Peaslake. The property is situated within easy reach of local stations for commuting into London, as well as the A3, plus providing a convenient location to access both Heathrow and Gatwick airports. The area also provides a good choice of high-quality schools, both state and independent, such as Cranleigh, Cranmore, St Teresa's, Howard of Effingham, St Peter's, St John's, Guildford High School, Tormead and RGS.
For horse lovers, there is the added benefit of shared equestrian facilities available by separate negotiation. Two to three stables and a tack room can be offered for exclusive use. The 25 x 40m sand school, which was recently rebuilt by Bill Kear Arenas and Gallops, with an all-weather Andrews-Bowen surface and mirrors at one end, together with three acres of grazing land and with direct access to the bridleways of Holmbury Hill and The Hurtwood, can also be available by shared arrangement.
