Coldharbour Lane, Bletchingley, Redhill, Surrey, RH1

A substantial country residence originally dating from the 1700’s with uninterrupted views over its own land and the surrounding countryside.

Description

Coldharbour Barn enjoys an exceptional elevated position, commanding absolutely stunning southerly views across miles of open Surrey countryside. Believed to date back to around 1750, this handsome brick built barn has been sensitively converted to retain its original character, blending historic charm with contemporary comfort. Tucked away along a private lane, the property offers seclusion and tranquillity while remaining only a short drive from a quintessential Surrey village.

A generous entrance hall with stone flooring and extensive fitted cupboards sets the tone for the accommodation, leading directly into the magnificent drawing room. This expansive, light filled space showcases an exposed brick wall, impressive roof timbers, and strikingly high ceilings. Full length bifold doors run the width of the room, opening onto the south facing terrace and framing uninterrupted views across the gardens and countryside beyond. A wood burning stove and a gallery overlooking the room add further architectural interest, while stone flooring flows throughout.

The stylish kitchen is both attractive and practical, fitted with an extensive range of shaker style units topped with granite work surfaces. Original oak beams and exposed brickwork surrounding the old bread oven now home to the electric Falcon range cooker. The breakfast area, with built in seating, enjoys views over the natural pond. A door opens to the garden and the adjacent terrace, offering a perfect spot from which to enjoy sunsets reflected across the water. A separate utility room provides excellent additional storage and workspace.

The sitting room is a wonderfully bright, triple aspect space featuring a large picture window framing the remarkable southerly views. Characterful beams and an inglenook fireplace with a wood burning stove create a cosy ambience, and French doors lead directly onto the main terrace.

Flowing from the kitchen, the morning room is another charming living space. With exposed rafters, solid oak flooring, a feature window overlooking the terrace and countryside, and a wood burning stove, it is a warm and inviting room throughout the seasons.

A study, cinema room, and gym further enhance the flexibility of the ground floor. The barn also benefits from an integrated garage with internal access from the entrance hall.

Two staircases rise to the first floor. The main staircase leads to the principal bedroom suite, a beautifully appointed triple aspect room with a Juliet balcony overlooking the pond. A range of fitted wardrobes and a luxurious en suite shower room complete the suite. Three additional bedrooms are accessed from this landing, one with a modern en suite, along with a family bathroom. Several rooms feature charming period details, including an original timber winch.

The second staircase leads to two further immaculately finished bedrooms, each with its own en suite bathroom. These rooms are linked by the mezzanine gallery overlooking the drawing room, adding drama and architectural flair.

The property is approached via a private gated driveway with ample parking arranged around an attractive acer tree.

Outbuildings include a separate double car barn with stairs leading to a loft storage area. The barn has electric vehicle charging points, as well as an additional integrated garage.

The south facing terrace extends along much of the house, shaded in summer by elegant silver birch trees. Steps lead down to a lawned garden overlooking vast open countryside, creating a sublime setting for outdoor entertaining. The natural pond provides year round interest and a serene vantage point from which to enjoy spectacular sunsets. The grounds also include two useful garden sheds and a greenhouse.

Beyond the immediate garden, which includes approximately five acres of the adjacent field, lie an additional 11 acres of land that are available by separate negotiation, offering exciting potential for those seeking further space and amenity.

The house benefits from private drainage and solar panels.
