Hook House Lane, Dunsfold, Godalming, Surrey GU8

This charming and meticulously maintained country home presents a superb blend of period character and refined contemporary living, with well-balanced accommodation arranged across the ground floor.

At the heart of the house lies a beautifully appointed kitchen, finished in a classic country style with bespoke cabinetry, stone worktops and a central island providing generous preparation space. Large windows frame views of the garden and fill the room with natural light, while the open-plan layout flows seamlessly into a relaxed dining area ideally suited to everyday living. A utility/larder adds further practicality and conceals a spiral wine cellar below.
The dining room offers a more formal environment, well-suited to entertaining, with attractive proportions, garden views and period detailing.

The principal sitting room is a particularly appealing space, centred around a substantial open fireplace with a brick surround. Exposed timbers lend warmth and character, creating an inviting and comfortable setting.

A striking garden hall provides a secondary entrance and an impressive focal point, with a turned staircase rising to a galleried landing above. Stone flooring and natural light create a space that is both functional and elegant.

The first floor continues the home’s characterful appeal, with rooms arranged around a central landing. The principal bedroom is a generous space, enjoying views over the grounds and served by an en suite bathroom featuring a bath with integrated shower and a hand-painted mural.

There are three further bedrooms, each well-proportioned, some retaining exposed timbers. These are served by a well-presented shower room.

The Party Barn is a beautifully converted building offering exceptional versatility. At its centre lies a double-height reception space, where vaulted ceilings and exposed timbers create a strong sense of volume. French doors open onto the grounds, making the space ideally suited to entertaining. A concealed bar beneath the staircase enhances its hosting appeal.

A stylish bathroom features a roll top bath and separate shower, while the ground floor also incorporates an office with internal and independent external access.

On the first floor, two bedrooms are arranged at either end of the barn, both retaining exposed beams. Joinery throughout has been carefully considered, with doors crafted from matching timber.

The property further benefits from a self-contained flat, ideal for guests or rental use (subject to any restraints). It provides a bright living environment with vaulted ceilings, a reception space with sitting and dining areas, an adjoining kitchen, a generous bedroom, a bathroom and a mezzanine level offering additional space.

The Pool Barn is a beautifully presented indoor pool area, with large windows providing natural light and a connection to the garden. It includes a jacuzzi, sauna, and changing and shower facilities.

The property is complemented by an extensive range of outbuildings suited to equestrian use. The principal stable block comprises six stables, a tack room, feed room, rug room and wash bay, centred around an entrance yard. These are complemented by an Olympic-size manège and paddocks providing excellent grazing, with dedicated access separate from the main house.

A separate barn provides additional stabling, storage and a tractor shed. A further building incorporates a garage, workshop and office.

The gardens are beautifully arranged, combining formal elements with more natural planting to create a varied and attractive setting. Of particular note is the striking Crimson King Maple positioned at the entrance to the property, whose rich red foliage provides the inspiration for the name, Red Leaf Farm.

A greenhouse enjoys views across the tennis court, gardens and manège, approached via a gravel walkway bordered by copper beech hedging. Beyond, a wildflower meadow enhances the rural setting.

Red Leaf Farm enjoys a delightful rural setting on the edge of the historic village of Dunsfold, a quintessential Surrey village centred around its picturesque green and featuring a 13th century church, cricket club, local pub and village shop.

Dunsfold lies within The Weald, nestled between the North and South Downs and on the fringe of the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The surrounding countryside, spanning both Surrey and West Sussex, is considered amongst the most scenic in the South East and provides exceptional lifestyle opportunities. An extensive network of footpaths and bridleways makes the area particularly appealing for those who enjoy outdoor pursuits.

The area is renowned for its excellent selection of schools, including Aldro in Shackleford, Charterhouse, Prior’s Field and St Hilary’s in Godalming, Cranleigh School in Cranleigh, St Catherine’s in Bramley, Guildford High School, Tormead and The Royal Grammar School in Guildford.

Sporting and leisure facilities are particularly well catered for, with golf available at Milford, West Surrey and Wildwood Golf and Country Club. Horse racing can be enjoyed at Goodwood, while polo is played at Cowdray Park, Hurtwood Park and Guards Polo Club.
