Guide Price £1,700,000

Nestled within its attractively landscaped setting, surrounded by lakes and woodland, is this private gated Grade ll listed family home. Offering grounds of nearly four acres, a south facing garden, annex, heated swimming pool and detached garage.

HISTORY Nestled within its attractively landscaped setting, surrounded by lakes and woodland, is this private gated Grade ll listed family home. This 15th Century property was once a grand farm house with its own Mill and barn, with a separate walled garden. Previously owned by Queen Mary’s private secretary, the property once featured in Country Life magazine detailing the original Horsham Slabbed roof, sumptuous gardens and alyssum carpeting the rear terrace.

PRINCIPLE RESIDENCE Entering through the original jettied porch a grand entrance hall with a beautiful stone floor and inglenook fireplace greets you, a striking formal living room with an open fireplace delivers views across the garden and rear terrace. The most notable and sizable dining space leads onto to the kitchen. There is potential to open the kitchen up with the rear kitchen/utility space (STP) to combine the two rooms. Accessed via the secondary kitchen is a home office space and reception room, which could make a perfect annex. The secondary dining room, original pantry and the family room complete the downstairs accommodation.

The extraordinary Master Suite with triple aspect windows provides an en-suite bathroom, alongside a dressing room which in turn could be a nursery room. A further generous six bedrooms and four bathrooms, some with vaulted ceilings and fireplaces conclude upstairs. Accessed via French doors from several reception rooms, the property vaunts a large stone terrace, leading onto the expansive, secluded rear garden with heated swimming pool. A detached double garage and considerable summer house can be accessed from the rear driveway. The orchard houses two small lakes and wraps around the side of the property leading onto the woodland. The plot totals close to four acres.

LOCATION The property is located in the Surrey village of Charlwood. Perfectly situated close to Dorking, Redhill, Reigate and Horley Town Centres all offering a great range of independent shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants. Local transport is excellent, with frequent trains from Gatwick to London or the coast. The bus service links Charlwood with Gatwick airport, Crawley and Redhill.
