The Street, Shackleford, Godalming, Surrey, GU8

Home Farm House is a well-proportioned period village house, dating back to the 18th century with later additions, offering generous accommodation arranged over two floors, set within established gardens in the heart of the village. The property combines traditional character with a practical and well balanced layout, well suited to family living.

The ground floor provides generous and flexible living space, combining period character with everyday practicality. A welcoming entrance hall leads to the principal reception rooms, which include an elegant drawing room centred on a fireplace, a comfortable snug and a formal dining room suited to entertaining. The kitchen/breakfast room forms the heart of the house, featuring an AGA and providing generous space for informal dining, complemented by a conveniently positioned utility room beyond. Immediately adjacent to the kitchen, the formal dining room enjoys views over the garden.

Arranged around a central landing, the first floor offers excellent bedroom accommodation. The principal bedroom suite is complemented by a dedicated dressing area and en suite bathroom. There are four further well proportioned bedrooms, one with an en suite shower room, with the remainder served by a family bathroom. There is a further room, currently used as a study which could be a bedroom as required. A secondary staircase provides independent access to this room and a further bedroom with an en suite, offering a level of privacy that would suit multigenerational living, guest accommodation or use as a more self contained suite.

The walled gardens are a particular feature of Home Farm House, wrapping attractively around the property and laid predominantly to lawn, complemented by mature trees, established borders and well positioned seating areas. A gravel terrace provides an ideal setting for al fresco entertaining, while the climbing wisteria further enhances the character and charm of the house. There is also a well established kitchen garden and a greenhouse, adding to the practical appeal of the garden. The overall setting is both private and picturesque, perfectly complementing the property’s village position.

Nestled amidst unspoilt countryside, Shackleford is widely regarded as one of Surrey’s most sought-after villages. It offers residents a rare balance of tranquillity and modern convenience, with rolling farmland and woodland walks providing a picturesque backdrop to daily life, yet excellent connectivity to nearby towns and transport links ensuring ease of access further afield.

The village enjoys a strong sense of community supported by well-regarded local amenities, including an excellent village store incorporating a post office and the much-loved Cyder House Inn, a focal point for village life.

Shackleford is particularly well placed for a number of highly regarded schools, including Aldro which is in the village, as well as Charterhouse, Priors Field, St Catherine’s, Edgeborough and many more.
