Ray Lane, Lingfield, RH7 6JH

Enjoying a superb rural setting and accessed via an impressive gated driveway, this striking Grade II listed country house offers a wonderful sense of scale, privacy and architectural presence. Set in 5.5 acres and forming the principal portion of a distinguished country residence, the property is predominantly Georgian in style, with a handsome, balanced façade and older elements to the rear that add depth and character. Throughout, the house showcases generous room sizes, notable ceiling heights and beautiful views that stretch across its surrounding land.

The internal layout is arranged over two floors and is both practical and flexible, enhanced by two separate staircases that allow the accommodation to be easily adapted to suit a variety of lifestyles. The ground floor is particularly expansive and has been designed with both entertaining and day-to-day family living in mind. A series of four to five reception rooms provide an excellent choice of formal and relaxed spaces, all enjoying a strong connection to the gardens and countryside beyond. At the centre of the home is a hand-crafted oak kitchen and breakfast room, offering a warm and functional hub that blends traditional detailing with modern usability. Additional rooms on this level lend themselves well to home working, leisure pursuits or informal gatherings.

The first floor provides extensive bedroom accommodation, comprising seven well-sized bedrooms supported by four bath and shower rooms. The principal bedroom enjoys especially generous proportions, while the remaining rooms offer flexibility for family members, guests or staff accommodation. The overall arrangement makes the house equally suitable for large families, multi-generational living or those seeking ample guest space. Further practicality is provided by cellar rooms and an outbuilding, ideal for storage or alternative uses subject to any necessary approvals.

Outside, the property is surrounded by approximately 5.5 acres of outstanding grounds, offering both beauty and versatility. The land includes established paddocks, a charming private pond and areas laid out for formal entertaining, all combining to create an idyllic country setting. For those with equestrian or lifestyle interests, there is an existing concrete base where a former barn once stood, presenting an excellent opportunity to add stabling or ancillary buildings, subject to the usual planning consents. The sweeping driveway culminates in a large parking area, comfortably accommodating multiple vehicles and reinforcing the sense of seclusion.

Despite its peaceful setting, the house is well placed for everyday needs. Lingfield village is nearby, providing a good selection of shops, cafés and local services, while Lingfield station offers convenient rail connections into London. The area is particularly well regarded for its schooling, with Lingfield Primary School, Oxted School and a range of highly respected independent schools all within easy reach. Surrounded by open countryside yet offering excellent accessibility, this exceptional home represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and character-filled property in one of the area’s most desirable locations.
