The Story
It was about 40 years ago now that the owner of The Quick Set Barn first visited the property near Fetcham and realised the conversion was exactly what he was seeking.
He loved its unique character and its fabulous gardens, as well as its superb setting, where he knew he could enjoy peace and privacy.
I just fell in love with it, he said. I loved the original beams in the drawing room and then the large master bedroom. I also knew it would be a great place for my family to come and visit.
Since then, the beautiful garden, which has been landscaped, and features a pond and waterfall, has been his pride and joy.
He has enjoyed spending hours maintaining it and watching his grandchildren play out when they were younger.
I have rarely been away from the house because I love this place so much, he said. I have seen other people go on holiday regularly and not felt the need to go away myself.

SCENIC SURREY

Thought to have been converted in the late 1950s, or early 1960s, and once part of the farm that worked the surrounding land, The Quick Set Barn was also in a perfect area for the owner.
The house is in a beautiful and very sought-after area - Norbury Park is opposite and places like Box Hill are nearby - and yet it is close to Leatherhead and from here it is very easy to travel into London, he said.
He added: This is a great place to be if you like walking, fishing or playing golf.

WELCOMING SPACES

The picturesque home, with its cedar-wood cladding, still retains its barn-like appeal, with its exposed timber beams and brickwork, inside and out.
The drawing room has huge original beams, he said. There is also a gas fire in here but it could be made into a proper fire should someone wish to change it.
This reception room is perfect for family gatherings. It has been the ideal place for the owner's grandchildren to play games and for him to relax quietly with his newspaper or a good book.
There is also another room, which is my dining room, he said. This room could be another bedroom, however. The space here is very flexible.

WONDERFUL LIFE

The master bedroom is also a good size, and would have space for the creation of a dressing room or en-suite shower room.
There is still a lot of scope for changing this house. I made a spiral staircase and created a room in the loft, which I have used as an office. But there is still space up there to extend, should anyone else wish to do so, he said.
He added: There is also the old granary store, which is up off the ground on mushroom stilts.
This is currently used for storage but it could be an ideal office or games room. There is plenty of room in there.
The Quick Set Barn has given the current owner a near perfect lifestyle, relishing its outdoor spaces as much as its internal ones.
It has been superb for me, he said. I have had everything here that I ever wanted.
