Smithwood Common, Cranleigh, GU6

A delightful detached three bedroom period lodge house located on the Willinghurst Estate accessed via electric gates and boasting a separate studio barn, garden home office, workshop and a 1.4 Acre paddock opposite.

Dated 1897, this Grade 2 Listed property was originally the Lodge to Willinghurst House which was designed by architect Philip Webb whom is often described as 'the father of Arts and Crafts architecture'. It is positioned in a stunning rural location, in a tranquil spot on the 650 acre Willinghurst Estate with its eleven fishing lakes, and surrounded by stunning Surrey countryside, in the Surrey Hills. The house has been extensively and sympathetically renovated and provides a character-filled main reception room with log burner fireplace, large light-filled windows with deep sills and oak wood flooring, and with views across the paddock and to the countryside beyond. The stylish contemporary kitchen/breakfast/dining room is filled with an abundance of natural light from the triple aspect windows and has views of the large garden and paddock, and has ample space for a dining table and chairs in the dining area. Double doors provide direct access from the kitchen to a covered terrace area, and the rear garden. There is also underfloor heating in the kitchen. The front aspect master bedroom has attractive views and a range of built-in wardrobes. There is a shower room adjacent to this room. The second double bedroom looks out to the rear garden and has built-in wardrobes and has access to the large loft space. There is a contemporary family bathroom with bath and shower over, and this room has underfloor heating. The third bedroom is located just off the reception room and also has a built-in wardrobe.

The covered garden terrace is a wonderful spot for al-fresco entertaining in the summer months and there is a winding garden path leading to the rear of the garden where there is a shed. The garden is mostly lawn and fairly secluded with the surrounding mature trees. There is a home office to one side of the garden with a gated access driveway and some kennels, and also a workshop with gated access to the front of the house and the garage. Further benefits of this character home is a useful utility/boot room with separate rear access from the side gate, a separate fully renovated studio barn plus further driveway parking, a double garage, driveway parking to the front for several cars, and an adjacent 1.4 Acre paddock which is perfect for horses. The property is situated just off Alderbrook Road on Smithwood Common and is surrounded by beautiful Surrey Hills countryside which is an area of outstanding natural beauty. The pretty village of Shamley Green is located nearby and has a pre-school and two schools,  two pubs, a village convenience store/post office and The Forge on the Green which is a superb, not-for-profit coffee shop. Also within easy access is the pretty, quintessentially english village of Cranleigh which has an M&S Foodhall, Co-op and Sainsburys, a good selection of coffee shops, a butchers and fishmongers, a sweet shop and a balloon shop and garden centre. There is also a health centre, leisure centre, arts centre, large playground and a sports ground. The 37 mile Downs Link pathway runs-through Cranleigh, which is an old railway line converted to a walking, running and cycle path connecting the North Downs Way with the South Downs Way starting at St Martha's Hill in Chilworth and ending at Shoreham-by-Sea in West Sussex. One is also close to Godalming and Guildford where more extensive shopping can be found and where there are mainline stations offering fast and frequent services into London Waterloo in around 40 minutes.
