Property description

Situated in glorious grounds of one and half acres, with its own private lake, this 1920's coach house offers elegant and well proportioned accommodation, including three large reception rooms, three double bedrooms and a stunning outlook.

Lakelands occupies a tranquil and extremely picturesque plot, extending to one and a half acres of stunning gardens, including a private lake. The property can be found in the hamlet of Ellens Green, at the base of the Surrey Hills, close to the West Sussex Borders.

Originally built in the 1920's as the carriage house for the neighbouring manor house, the property has been sympathetically extended over the years to now provide generous reception areas and bedrooms, retaining many period features.

Downstairs, the house benefits from a large entrance hall, which the current owners use as a study area, a sitting room with stunning views over the gardens from the dual aspect bay window and glazed doors onto the patio area, a very generous dining area with feature fireplace with stairs to the first floor, a country style kitchen leading to the conservatory, which again boasts fabulous views over the gardens and lake and doors to the terrace, and there is also a utility room with direct access from outside and plumbing for a washing machine as well as space for a fridge freezer.

Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms. The master suite has the added bonus of a dressing room with built in wardrobes and a bathroom en-suite. This bedroom benefits from a dual aspect view over the lake and grounds. Bedrooms two and three are to the front of the house, with fitted wardrobes in bedroom two. The family bathroom has not only a bath, but separate shower cubicle.

Outside, there is a detached double garage with electric up and over doors, as well as a space above that could be used as a home office, subject to all usual consents. Also there is a summerhouse, which has in the past been used as a home office, as well as a child’s playroom/ den.

Ellen’s Green is just 4 miles from the village of Cranleigh, with its wide range of shops and amenities. More wide ranging shopping and facilities can be found in the market town of Horsham, just 7 miles away. There is also a mainline train station providing direct links to London Victoria and London Bridge from Horsham.

The area is well provided for with some excellent schooling locally, both state and private schools, including Cranleigh School, Duke of Kent School, Pennthorpe, Farlington, as well as Glebelands.

The surrounding countryside is famed for its beautiful walking, or riding. There is Polo at Hurtwood Polo Club, and golf at Gatton Manor and Rusper locally.

The views, and gardens of this delightful home in the Surrey countryside really have to be seen to be believed, so early viewing is highly recommended to avoid disappointment.
