6 Bed Detached House For Sale

Handsome Victorian home nestled within the Surrey Hills.


Description

Clereholt is a character property dating from around 1900 with later additions, painstakingly refurbished throughout in recent years to create a wonderful family home. The current configuration offers flexible living accommodation ideally suited for larger families or multi-generational living.

The spacious triple aspect family kitchen/dining area is filled with natural light, designed to an exceptionally high specification. Notable features include the granite topped central island with integrated breakfast bar, bespoke cabinetry and wonderful flagstone flooring.

Accessed off the kitchen via wide double doors, a large drawing room is impressive in size. With a high ceiling, characterful bay window and attractive hardwood flooring this is the perfect place to relax and entertain. A second reception room, currently utilised as a study, would be well suited as a playroom or additional bedroom if required.

The main first floor accommodation is accessed via a staircase from the drawing room. Off a light and bright landing space the principal bedroom has bespoke built in cupboards and en suite shower room with double sinks. Three further double bedrooms, one with en suite shower room, are complimented by a large family bath/shower room and practical laundry room.

Downstairs, across the main hallway to the front of the house is a generous family room, open plan with a second kitchen/dining area. Beautifully presented the accommodation includes wood burning stove, hardwood flooring throughout, second WC and a useful pantry. Accessed via a second staircase the first floor accommodation above offers two generously proportioned double bedrooms, bath/shower room and separate WC. Benefitting from separate access this self-contained living space on the south side of the house is ideally suited for multi-generational living or extended family living space. Whilst currently utilised as separate living spaces the total first floor accommodation could be easily connected to create one overall footprint.

Outside, the delightful gardens are well kept with steps leading to a large level lawn at the front, a separate raised terrace and direct access to The Hurtwood with over 2000 acres of privately owned Surrey common land. Ample parking is offered for multiple vehicles on the gravel driveway.
