Wroxton Lane, Horley, OX15

Some homes are remembered for their setting. Others for their design. Midhill is one of the rare few that offers both.

Nestled within one of the area's most desirable villages, Midhill is a beautifully reimagined home that effortlessly combines the warmth and character of a traditional stone cottage with the clean lines and light-filled spaces of contemporary living.

Thoughtfully extended and remodelled by the current owners, the house has been designed around its exceptional position, with floor-to-ceiling glazing framing breathtaking far-reaching countryside views from many of the principal rooms. Every season brings a different outlook, creating a home that feels as connected to its surroundings as it does to the village itself.

Designed with both entertaining and everyday life in mind, the heart of the home is the impressive open-plan living and dining space, where expansive glazing and open doors blur the line between inside and out. Whether entertaining family and friends or enjoying a quiet evening at home, the ever-changing views provide a spectacular backdrop, while the open-plan kitchen allows you to remain part of the conversation without missing a moment.

In contrast, the original cottage retains all the charm and character you would hope for, with exposed beams, a cosy reception room centred around an open fireplace and an inviting atmosphere that offers the perfect retreat on a winter's evening. Together, the two spaces create a home that successfully balances period character with modern family living.

Upstairs, the accommodation comprises four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a superb principal suite perfectly positioned to make the most of the uninterrupted countryside views. Two beautifully appointed bathrooms serve the first floor, combining practicality with timeless style.

Outside, the landscaped gardens have been thoughtfully designed to complement the property's idyllic setting. Predominantly laid to lawn with mature planting, a beautifully designed ha-ha creates uninterrupted views across the rolling farmland beyond, while offering a wonderful sense of privacy. Whether it's a morning coffee watching the sun rise across the fields or an evening spent entertaining friends on the terrace, the gardens are a peaceful extension of the home, to be enjoyed throughout the seasons. Off-road parking further enhances the practicality of this exceptional home.

Midhill is a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful village home that has been sympathetically transformed for modern life, where contemporary design, period charm and breath-taking countryside views come together to create something truly special.
