Property description

***SOLD BY GASCOIGNE-PEES*** A truly wonderful hidden gem situated within this secluded and elevated picture postcard location in the delightful Surrey Hills.

The property which offers superb panoramic views is approached via it's rustic driveway, flanked by well stocked borders and is positioned at the top of the drive. Inside the accommodation would benefit from some modernisation and updating, offering the incoming occupant a fantastic opportunity to create their own stunning home.

The internal accommodation comprises on the ground floor of an entrance hall with brick flooring and doors to the downstairs guest bedroom with built-in wardrobe and en-suite bathroom. There are also steps down to the dining room with tiled floor and storage, along with an opening to the rear aspect kitchen with fitted units, that then opens to a dual aspect sitting room with feature fireplace and part beamed ceiling. There is also a cloakroom on this level. From the sitting room a door leads to a split staircase giving access to the first floor, on one side there are two decent sized bedrooms and the family bathroom, whilst to the other the stairs lead to a further reception room with exposed wood flooring, feature fireplace (the room is currently set up as a library). From here there is also access to the rear terraced patio area.

Externally the property offers an attached store, detached double garage, a 44' by 10'1\" outbuilding with excellent conversion potential subject to the relevant consents, and ample parking for several vehicles.

The gardens are a lovely feature of the home with the more formal area near to the property and offering an array of well stocked flower, shrub and tree borders and being screened by hedging and a period wall. There are then further steps from the front that lead to an extensive woodland area that provides a more wild aspect to the grounds.

The property enjoys a delightful setting in the heart of the Surrey Hills close to the summit of Leith Hilll. The area is renowned for its scenic beauty and is set in an area of outstanding Natural Beauty. Extensive recreational, educational and shopping facilities can be found at Cranleigh to the south, Guildford to the West and Dorking to the East. The towns of both Dorking and Guildford offer mainline services to London and nearby Gomshall and Ockley railway stations also provide services. The A3 and M25 can be accessed at Ockham and Leatherhead respectively, giving it access to the motorway network and Heathrow and Gatwick airports. The area is well served by good schools from the nearby preparatory schools of Belmont and Duke of Kent to the renowned private schools in Guildford, Cranleigh and Reigate.

Homes in this location with potential are highly sought after and we would strongly recommend viewing to fully appreciate the layout and situation of this great cottage.
