The Village Green, Ewhurst, Cranleigh

Cottage charm, superb space

Set back off the green in the delightful village of Ewhurst, Cranleigh, Deblin's Green is an impressive home. This attractive Grade II listed house combines cottage charm and period character and offers an excellent layout with plenty of space and flexible accommodation.

Dating from circa 1670, this picturesque 2,280 sq ft home, with its attractive tile-hung elevations, has been stylishly renovated and well maintained whilst preserving the house's history.

It boasts two reception rooms, a modern dining kitchen with separate utility room, four double bedrooms, three bathrooms, a study, guest cloakroom, storage loft, courtyard garden and a single garage.

Deblin's Green offers country house appeal in the heart of a sought-after village, on the border of the stunning Surrey Hills Area of Natural Beauty, yet within easy reach of shops and facilities in Cranleigh.

Welcoming reception

From the front porch, enter through the traditional front door into a welcoming reception hall leading to the kitchen and the drawing room.

The hall has an attractive flagstone floor and space for coats, boots, and a chair. There is a window giving plentiful natural light.

There is a convenient guest cloakroom off the hall.

A Sociable Space

The bright open-plan kitchen/dining room has a wonderfully spacious feel, with broad oak floorboards and period beams. There is room for a large dining table and a couple of armchairs to create that all-important sociable space for eating, entertaining and relaxing. The dining area features a large bay window with a built-in window seat offering an appealing aspect out over the green, a perfect spot for a contemplative morning cup of coffee!

The cooking and dining areas of the room are cleverly separated by a long central island where meals can be prepared whilst you chat with family and friends. The bespoke, modern kitchen has sleek marble worktops, ample storage space, Neff and Miele ovens, a gas hob, a fridge/ freezer and a practical double sink.

There is a separate utility/laundry room behind the kitchen.

Cosy entertaining

The focal point of the generous drawing room is a fabulous original inglenook fireplace. There's lots of space for a couple of large sofas and armchairs, making this a perfect room for a cosy evening entertaining friends or for settling down to watch a movie.

The windows give lots of light from the South, and a door provides access to the private courtyard garden.

Adjoining the drawing room is a sitting room, which offers beneficial extra reception space and would be ideal as a snug or a children's playroom. It leads to the study, where you can work from home peacefully.

Sweet slumber

The whole first floor is characterised by gorgeous beams and plaster walls, demonstrating the historic nature of this lovely home. Three good-sized bedrooms lead off the upstairs broad landing; the large, airy primary bedroom has a southerly view, a walk-in wardrobe and a refurbished en suite bathroom with an inviting roll-top bath and separate shower.

The second bedroom is large enough for a king-sized bed and features a built-in wardrobe, whilst the current owners use the third king-sized double bedroom as a dressing room. These bedrooms share a good-sized family bathroom.

The fourth bedroom, at the top of the house, is a versatile space with three areas. One end could make a study area, another a sitting area, and the third area could comfortably house a double bed. It benefits from its own en suite shower room. This room is well away from the rest of the house and would make an ideal teenage hangout space or a home office. Off this room are two convenient loft storage areas.

Easy outside space

The paved courtyard garden is private and low maintenance and offers space for a relaxed sitting area or for a dining table and chairs. It captures all day sun, facing East, South and West, making it an excellent spot for outdoor dining or for enjoying a sunny afternoon.

The single garage (part of a shared double garage with a neighbour) was rebuilt from brick about ten years ago, making it an ideal dry spot to store a cherished classic car or charge an electric vehicle. It is located behind the house, with a storage loft above.
