Situated in beautiful, park like grounds with stunning views over fields, this superb redbrick, thatched family home is a great example of a 1930s ‘Chown’ house synonymous with the area. Bursting with character and charm, with an abundance of original features, this delightful family home is a rare find and offers great scope and potential to update and extend to give it that modern twist.

Immediately upon entering, the grand panelled entrance hall sets the scene with a wealth of oak joinery and oak doors, high ceilings, exposed oak beams and leaded light windows that continue throughout this charming home. There is a beautiful Inglenook fireplace and side seats surrounding a welcoming wood-burning stove.

From the hall, a door and archway lead to the delightful principal sitting room, which has triple aspect and a wonderful beamed ceiling together with a brick fireplace, again with a feature wood-burning stove. This well proportioned and light room enjoys a wonderful vista over the glorious garden and fields beyond, with doors to a terrace and loggia, perfect for entertaining in the summer months.

Further downstairs rooms include a study and a welcoming family room which is double aspect and has a lovely bay window overlooking the front of the property, together with an open fireplace. The dining room has direct access to the kitchen, comprehensively fitted with a range of base and eye level cabinets with space for appliances, with a further door leading to a large utility room, a boot room and access to the garden.

An impressive ‘Arts and Crafts’ style turning staircase leads to the galleried landing overlooking the south-facing garden, together with doors which open onto a substantial balcony from which to enjoy the view.

All four double bedrooms enjoy glorious views over the grounds with the sizable master bedroom and second bedroom both featuring en-suite bathrooms, while bedrooms three and four are serviced by a separate family bathroom.

Garden & Exterior Location

The property is approached through ornate iron electric gates, accessing a private gravel driveway sweeping past the substantial detached double garage and onto the property. The fabulous grounds approach 4 acres and offer a high degree of seclusion from the abundance of specimen trees and shrubs. Divided into distinct areas, the formal garden wraps around the property and is mainly laid to lawn, orientated for optimum sunshine throughout the day. The informal area offers plenty of potential to create a paddock, of left 'au natural', offering a haven for wildlife - or a great place for children to play! The views from the house and rear garden are glorious, where you are able to enjoy sunset vistas over fields of horses towards the classical Horsley Towers in the far distance. Of particular note is that the substantial detached 5 car garage has potential for use as a home office or further accommodation (STPP). There is also a separate access route on to Park Horsley in the extreme western corner.

Situated in a semi-rural position on the outskirts of both Effingham and East Horsley villages, there is easy access to everyday shops, a library, banks and other village amenities. For the sports minded there are also excellent golf and tennis facilities nearby. This area enjoys some of the best walking, cycling and horse riding countryside with the Surrey Hills literally on your the doorstep! Communications are excellent too, with Horsley and Effingham Junction stations within a few minutes drive, connecting with London Waterloo in approx. 45 minutes. The A3 is close by allowing easy access to central London, the M25 (junction 10) and both Heathrow and Gatwick airports. The county town of Guildford is about 8 miles away, offering superb shopping, leisure and recreational facilities, whilst the cosmopolitan village of Cobham is a few minutes drive and offers a vibrant range of shops and restaurants. There is a wide range of schooling locally in both the private and state sectors. The location provides a perfect blend of country living yet with excellent connections.
