CHARMING DETACHED FAMILY HOME WITH EQUESTRIAN FACILITIES SET IN ABOUT 1.5 ACRES ............

Little Stumblehole is a charming and most attractive detached residence, built we understand in the 17th Century, and has been sympathetically extended over the years to provide a very comfortable family home. The property enjoys a delightful position set in its beautifully established grounds of approximately 1.5 acres and provides an opportunity for those with an equine interest, as it includes a stable block, paddock and ménage. Little Stumblehole has been well cared for over the years and tastefully modernised, whilst retaining many of the period features, typical of its origins. The accommodation briefly comprises a reception hall, study and a charming sitting room with a feature fireplace. The kitchen/dining room is of excellent proportions and the kitchen is fitted to an English farmhouse style with a comprehensive range of fitted cupboards, complemented by oak worksurfaces. There is a useful utility room, cloakroom and rear porch. To the first floor the principal bedroom has outstanding views over the surrounding farmland and countryside and has built-in wardrobes, and en-suite shower room. There are three further bedrooms served by a modern shower room. Outside the grounds and the setting in general are a superb feature of Little Stumblehole and presenting an excellent level of privacy and seclusion, with the formal gardens surrounding the property predominantly enjoying a southerly and westerly orientation. There is a driveway providing extensive parking terminating at the property and also spearing off to the triple bay garaging (two open, one closed) and the stable block, which is conveniently adjacent to the sand school and beyond to the paddock with a loose box. There is also an excellent garden studio with a separate shower room and office – ideal for those wishing to work from home or for other purposes.

Little Stumblehole is located about half a mile down a private, country road (for which we understand all the residents of that area make a contribution as and when repairs are required, we are also advised that the lane leading to the property, off Deanoak Lane, is a bridleway.) The location is delightful, away from traffic and set in about 1.5 acres. There are excellent shopping and recreation facilities in both Reigate and Dorking town centres and easy access to Gatwick Airport. There are train services to London both from Dorking, Reigate (via Redhill) and the Gatwick Express. The general area is delightful, semi-rural and ideal for the walking and riding enthusiast.
