Effingham Common Road, Effingham, KT24

An exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished Grade II listed residence where historic architecture and sophisticated interior design are brought together with exceptional precision. Set within an idyllic private landscape, Lower Farm has been the subject of an extensive, design-led refurbishment, elevating every space with craftsmanship, texture and contemporary elegance.

At the heart of the home lies the kitchen and dining area, a masterclass in modern country design. Featuring bespoke cabinetry, tailored lighting schemes, underfloor heating and a beautifully crafted central island, the space balances luxury with functionality. Full-height doors open to the terrace, inviting natural light that plays across the carefully selected textures and surfaces. Complementary spaces, including the boot room, utility room and a handcrafted wine store, have been designed with the same attention to detail, ensuring visual continuity throughout.

The formal reception room showcases double-height ceilings and a dramatic feature fireplace, creating an elegant backdrop for both intimate gatherings and large-scale entertaining. The formal dining room continues the design narrative with another beautifully restored fireplace and generous proportions, offering a sophisticated setting for hosting.

The first-floor principal suite epitomises refined comfort. Its serene palette, tailored joinery and harmonious layout create a tranquil retreat, enhanced by a luxurious en-suite bathroom featuring a bespoke tiled landscape mural and a striking roll-top brass bath. Adjoining the suite is a private study, fitted with custom cabinetry designed to complement the wider interior aesthetic. Two additional double bedrooms, one with an en-suite and dressing area share the floor, each finished with distinctive design details and a family bathroom crafted with premium materials.

The second floor hosts a spacious double bedroom bathed in natural light, with elevated views over the gardens, accompanied by its own dressing room and bathroom, all finished to the same impeccable standard.
The grounds are enchanting, combining elegant landscaping with playful features. Manicured lawns, mature borders and a charming children’s treehouse overlooking a pond create a sense of discovery, while the swimming pool, sauna, luxurious hot tub, tennis court and football pitch offer exceptional recreational amenities. Encircling trees provide both beauty and privacy.

The separate cottage presents a design-led open-plan reception and kitchen/dining room, with a tranquil double bedroom and en-suite shower room. The pool house mirrors this sophisticated approach, offering an open-plan living/kitchen space, bedroom and bathroom, ideal for guests and designed to echo the main residence’s refined aesthetic.
