22 The Barton, Cobham, Surrey, KT11

This substantial 1920s detached house lies behind gates on one of Cobham’s most established private roads. Set in mature south-facing grounds of just under half an acre, with a swimming pool, expansive lawns and nearly 3,000 sq ft of internal space arranged across two floors, the house combines the character of a traditional Surrey home with generous proportions and a practical family layout.



A broad gravel driveway leads to the house, where a pillared entrance opens into a wide reception hall with oak herringbone flooring, detailed joinery and a sweeping staircase at its centre. The principal reception room spans more than 21 feet and is arranged around a fireplace, with a deep bay window overlooking the gardens. Elsewhere on the ground floor, a formal dining room and conservatory create a natural sequence of entertaining spaces, while a separate family room sits alongside the kitchen.



The kitchen itself is well proportioned, with painted cabinetry, stone worktops, integrated appliances and a central island. Large windows bring in excellent natural light and frame views across the grounds. The adjoining conservatory opens directly onto the terrace and garden beyond.



The house is particularly well suited to family life, with a flexible ground-floor bedroom suite positioned separately from the principal accommodation, perfect for guests, staff or multigenerational living. Upstairs, the principal bedroom occupies its own wing and includes a dressing room and spacious ensuite bathroom. Three further double bedrooms and additional bathrooms complete the first floor.



The gardens wrap around the house and have been carefully established for privacy, bordered by mature trees and hedging. A wide terrace runs along the rear elevation, stepping down to level lawns and the swimming pool, which is positioned to capture sun throughout the day. The setting feels notably peaceful and secluded despite its proximity to central Cobham.



The Barton lies within the prestigious Fairmile Estate, one of Cobham’s best-known private enclaves, characterised by wide tree-lined roads and substantial detached houses set within generous plots. Cobham High Street is a short drive away, offering a mix of independent boutiques, cafés and restaurants, while the surrounding area is well regarded for its schools, including ACS International School, Danes Hill and Reed’s. Cobham & Stoke d’Abernon station provides direct services into London Waterloo in around 35 minutes.
