Horse Block Hollow, Cranleigh, Surrey, GU6

Jelly Hollow is a charming Grade II Listed cottage with 16th-century origins and later 18th and 20th-century extensions. Traditional vernacular details include an exposed timber frame, whitewashed rendered infilling and restored sandstone elevations. Inside, the cottage overflows with character- honey coloured beams, open fireplaces, and natural stone flooring with underfloor heating. Hand-crafted English oak leaf light windows draw in views of the gardens and hillsies, while galletted oak doors lead to all principal rooms.

Purchased in 2021, the current owners have added a new luxury Smallbone kitchen, roof, oak-framed double car port, self-contained one-bedroom annex with shower room, fitted kitchen, and sun deck, plus numerous tech upgrades. Despite its age, the home is light and well laid out, with beautiful views from every room.

The main entrance features an oak-framed pitched porch and panel-glazed door leading to the reception hall with a walk-in utility room, cabinetry and appliance space. The cloakroom showcases a vintage French vanity stand, basin, and marble surrounds containing nine-million-year-old fossils.

The ground floor offers superb entertaining space with an open-plan kitchen/breakfast room by Smallbone of Devines- an opulent yet practical design with a Falcon range, shaker-style cabinetry in soft tones, and white quartz work surfaces. Tall eye-level units, integrated appliances, and stunning garden and South Downs views complete the space. The adjoining dining area shares light and flow through original wall beams.

The drawing room is rich and cosy, centred on a large inglenook fireplace with illuminated stonework and an old bread oven. The family room offers an informal retreat with a vaulted ceiling, exposed stone wall, roof windows, and a built-in surround system- perfect for films or relaxing with friends.

Upstairs, a solid oak staircase leads to the master bedroom and luxury bathroom featuring a Victoria & Albert standalone bathtub and basin, floating vanity, and a Hansgrohe walk-in shower, all enhanced by recessed displays and LED lighting.

Bedroom two includes French door to a private terrace, vaulted ceiling, and portal windows, with an en-suite futted with Duravit and V&A fixtures. Bedroom three, part of the original house, boasts exposed beams, the curved chimney stone, and soft lighting. The family bathroom features a claw-foot Imperial bathtub with quality fittings.

A 250-metre private lane leads to electric double gates and a gravelled driveway with ample parking and a detached oak-framed double carport.

The newly converted garage block is now a first-class self contained annex with large glazed doors, open-plan living/dining/kitchen area overlooking the gardens, an elegant shower room, and spiral staircase leading to a bright bedroom with Velux and rear windows.

The rear of the cottage opens onto an elevated Indian sandtone terrace overlooking lawns and open countryside, with views reaching Chanctonbury Ring on clear days. A secondary terrace includes an outdoor kitchen and yoga studio. A timber outbuilding, now a heated broadband-equipped office, enjoys superb outlooks. Gardens brim with ornamental planting, herbaceous boarders, and woodland walkways.

Beyond lies a large lawn, timber garden store, oak-built dog run, kennels, and additional garden areas- completing this stylish, character-filled country home.
