Knowle Lane, Cranleigh, Surrey, GU6

This beautifully restored historic gem, set on just under an acre of mature, landscaped grounds, embodies the perfect marriage of period charm and modern comfort. Located in the highly desirable village of Cranleigh, this property is one of the area’s oldest, and has been meticulously renovated and extended with Listed Buildings consent to offer both stylish and versatile accommodation, capturing a timeless elegance throughout.

Stepping inside, you are welcomed by the warmth and character of exposed beams and brick, which feature prominently across the interiors. The reception room is a true showstopper, anchored by a grand inglenook fireplace that beckons cozy gatherings and adds a touch of rustic grandeur.

The newly added extension boasts a contemporary shaker-style kitchen-diner with beautiful flagstone floors, complemented by stone countertops and bathed in natural light from a series of windows overlooking the grounds. This space flows seamlessly into a snug, where exposed beams continue to tell the story of the building’s heritage, then on to a generous room that can be adapted as either a downstairs bedroom or an additional reception area—adding to the property’s flexibility.

Upstairs, a large, open reception area offers the perfect space for a home office or reading nook, leading to two double bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom, each restored with exquisite attention to detail. The principal suite is particularly impressive, offering ample space for a dressing area, and a stylish contemporary shower room that elevates the sense of luxury. Throughout, thoughtful enhancements—such as new electrics, double glazing, upgraded insulation, and a modern boiler—have been integrated, ensuring all the comforts of a contemporary home while preserving the property’s period character.

Outside, the grounds extend gracefully, surrounded by open farmland and offering sweeping views over the fields. The garden features a children’s playhouse, a large stone patio perfect for alfresco dining, and a summerhouse with power and light, providing potential for further development as a studio, home office, or guest accommodation.

Ample driveway parking accommodates several cars, and the expansive grounds, set in the stunning Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offer a tranquil retreat close to nature.

Despite its rural ambiance, this enchanting property is just a short distance from Cranleigh’s vibrant village centre, with its diverse selection of supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, and charming pubs. For broader amenities, Guildford is nearby, offering extensive shopping, dining, and leisure options, as well as a mainline railway station with quick, direct routes to London Waterloo. This home is not just a residence but a piece of history, thoughtfully crafted for modern living while maintaining its centuries-old character—a rare find in one of Surrey’s most scenic areas.
