DESCRIPTION
A rare opportunity to lease a substantial home of great character, in the Surrey Hills, recently renovated to an exacting standard and presented in immaculate condition, marrying period charm with a wealth of modern comfort.

The ground floor offers a fine sequence of entertaining spaces. A dining room and snug retain the house’s period feel, with exposed beams and open fireplaces, while the formal drawing room, generous in scale and ideal for larger gatherings, opens through French doors onto the patio. A fitted kitchen and breakfast room, together with a pantry, boot room and a versatile office or playroom, complete this floor.

The first floor comprises five well-proportioned bedrooms, chief among them a principal suite of exceptional quality. Enjoying a triple aspect view over the mature gardens and swimming pool, the principal bedroom is served by an ensuite finished with bespoke twin basins, a roll top bath and a large rainfall shower, with underfloor heating, heated mirrors and automatic alcove lighting reflecting the care taken throughout. An adjoining room offers the flexibility of a fifth bedroom or dressing room, ready to be fitted to the incoming tenant’s taste.

A family bathroom and separate shower room serve the three remaining double bedrooms, while a laundry room and a second staircase complete the upstairs.

A lawn sits before the converted barn, which provides superb entertaining space with generous storage, and a temperature-controlled wine room. Above, a self-contained two-bedroom annexe, each bedroom enjoying its own ensuite and sharing a kitchen, offers versatile accommodation for guests or staff.

OUTSIDE
The private grounds encompass an all-weather tennis court and a heated outdoor swimming pool with its own pool house, shower room and paved terrace, together creating a wonderful setting in which to relax. Making up the large gardens are a variety of lawned areas ranging from formal to those with a parkland feel, mature flower beds and orchards. The house sits within a total plot of approximately 15.2 acres.

Stabling for three horses and a feed room adjoin around ten acres of meadow, complete with a field shelter and a smaller turnout paddock, ideal for those wishing to keep horses at home; the property may be let without the grazing land and stabling, should this be preferred. A 4-bay garage with electric doors and a games room or office above, are situated next to ample parking. Discreetly screened solar panels return electricity to the grid, while a backup generator with automatic start-up provides reassurance in every eventuality.

The kitchen garden yields fresh produce throughout the summer and beyond, its mature strawberry and raspberry bushes joined by a variety of other fruits and vegetables.

SITUATION
Kempslade Farmhouse is surrounded by woodland and some of the finest walking, riding and cycling in the South East, with Leith Hill mere minutes away to be enjoyed directly from the front door. The independent Abinger Hatch public house lies a short walk from the house, while the Wotton House Hotel, still held within the wider Estate, offers a leisure club with classes, private indoor pools, sauna and gym.
