Buckthorn Grove, Cranleigh, GU6 8WN

"The main living space is what defines this house. The vaulted ceiling, natural light and direct connection to the garden make it feel calm and open, while the layout still gives the house a clear sense of separation between everyday living and quieter rooms." Gavin Amberton - Chantries & Pewleys

Buckthorn Grove forms part of a modern collection of individually designed homes positioned beside Knowle Park Country Park, giving direct access to open green space and walking routes while remaining within easy reach of Cranleigh High Street. The setting feels quiet and established, with the surrounding architecture creating a more considered and contemporary environment than many newer developments.

The hub of the house is an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, where the vaulted ceiling and extensive glazing immediately draw in natural light from both the garden and side aspects. The kitchen is arranged around a large central island with sleek contemporary cabinetry and integrated appliances set along the perimeter walls. Wide windows above the work surfaces keep the space bright throughout the day, while the open layout allows the kitchen, dining and seating areas to work naturally together without feeling overexposed. The living area sits beneath the vaulted ceiling with a wood-burning stove creating a lovely focal point. Full-height glazing and doors connect directly onto the garden terrace, allowing the outside space to become part of the room during warmer months. The scale of the room works particularly well day-to-day, giving enough separation for cooking, dining and sitting without losing the openness that defines the house.

A separate sitting room overlooking the rear garden provides a quieter retreat away from the main entertaining space and works well as either a formal reception room or secondary television room. The entrance hall has an open feel with an exposed timber staircase and large format flooring continuing through much of the ground floor. A utility room and cloakroom complete the accommodation at this level.

The first floor is arranged around four well-sized bedrooms, all finished in the same contemporary style seen throughout the house. The principal bedroom stands out for its vaulted ceiling and elevated outlook, creating a lighter and more private feel within the house. It is served by a well-appointed en-suite shower room.

A second bedroom also benefits from en-suite facilities, while the remaining bedrooms are served by the main family bathroom. The bathrooms are finished with large-format tiling and clean-lined contemporary fittings, continuing the architectural consistency of the property.

Outside
The rear garden has been landscaped to create a straightforward and usable outside space with planted borders, shaped gravel pathways and terrace seating positioned directly outside the main living area. The garden works particularly well with the house itself, extending naturally from the open-plan space rather than feeling separate from it.

To the front, the property benefits from driveway parking and an integrated garage.

Local Area
Knowle Park Country Park sits immediately nearby, offering open walks and green space directly from the doorstep. Cranleigh High Street is also within easy reach, providing a wide range of independent shops, cafés and everyday amenities, alongside regular connections towards Guildford and the surrounding Surrey Hills.
