Northcote Lane, Shamley Green, Guildford, Surrey GU5

Treetops was completed for our clients in 2014, under the guidance of the locally renowned architect Michael Conoley. The house has thoughtfully been designed for family living, with the kitchen/breakfast room being the focal point. As soon as you enter the house, into the substantial reception hall, you get a sense of light and space, whilst there is parquet flooring and an oak staircase to the first floor.

The heart of the house is the wonderful kitchen/breakfast/family room with painted Shaker style units and quartz worksurfaces, which enjoys distant views towards Hascombe, over the gardens. Off this, is the oak framed sitting room, again with parquet flooring and doors out onto the terrace. Additionally, off the kitchen/breakfast/family room is a fitted study.

On the first floor is an excellent balance of bedrooms and bathrooms, with an additional two bedrooms and a shower room on the second floor. One of these bedrooms is currently used as a media room. Many of the bedrooms enjoy the wonderful distant views to the west.

Treetops provides an incoming purchaser the opportunity of buying a modern family home, in a highly sought after and accessible location, surrounded by excellent schools.

Raised up and set away from the house is the two-bedroom cottage. Adjacent to this is the double garage with boarded roof storage. The garage houses the workings for the swimming pool and is accessed just beyond the main gates. There is also a heated covered swimming pool. This is heated by an air source heat pump, located by the garage.

Treetops is approached through electrically operated wooden double gates onto a gravelled driveway fronting the house, providing generous parking with an EV charger. This is surrounded by established mature shrub borders providing an array of colour in the spring and summer with lavender edged steps leading up to the cottage.

The gardens lie predominantly to the rear of the house with a substantial terrace area. Steps lead up to a further decking area adjoining the swimming pool area. The gardens are interspersed with numerous mature trees and shrubs and manicured hedging including acers, camelias, flowering cherries, a weeping willow and a monkey puzzle.

The gardens are divided in formal and less formal areas with mown pathways. Running along the raised northern boundary are mature fruit trees including apples, plums and pears. Beyond this is a substantial oak tree in a lovely raised area, from which you can enjoy the distant views.

Treetops is situated on the Guildford side of one of Surrey’s most sought-after villages, in an elevated setting, with distant westerly views.

Shamley Green provides an excellent village shop/post office and two public houses, as well as the picturesque cricket green. Whilst being on the fringes of the village, the house is also only 4.5 miles from Guildford, which offers extensive shopping and recreational facilities, including the Yvonne Arnaud theatre and the Spectrum Leisure Centre.

There are many excellent schools close by including Wonersh & Shamley Green Infants School, Charterhouse, St Hillary’s, the 6th Form College and Prior’s Field in Godalming, plus Aldro in Shackleford, St Catherine’s in Bramley (from preschool), Cranleigh School (from pre-school), The Royal Grammar School and The High School in Guildford.

The surrounding Surrey Hills offer unrivalled opportunities for riding, walking or cycling in some of the county’s most beautiful scenery.
