This charming detached family residence, dating back to the 16th or 17th century, is nestled within a generous half-acre west-facing garden in a tranquil and desirable rural hamlet. The property has been cherished by the same family for the past six decades and is now primed for comprehensive modernization, including essential updates to the roof, windows, heating system, and more. This presents an exceptional opportunity to transform it into a stunning forever home. On the ground floor, you'll find an inviting entrance porch leading to a spacious hall. The large dual-aspect sitting room features two open fireplaces, while the dual-aspect dining room boasts a picturesque window with views of the expansive rear garden and direct access to the exterior. The extensive kitchen/breakfast room opens up through double doors to the garden, complemented by a separate utility room and bathroom. Additionally, there’s a versatile family room that could serve as a fifth bedroom, complete with an open fireplace and bay window. Upstairs reveals a generously sized dual-aspect bedroom with storage space, alongside another sizable double bedroom that was previously divided into two rooms. There’s also a third double bedroom (which could potentially be extended into the eaves), a single bedroom, a family bathroom with bath and basin, plus additional storage tucked away in the eaves. Characterful details such as exposed timbers and original wide floorboards enhance its charm throughout. Outdoor features include a substantial garage/barn offering potential for conversion into extra living space (subject to planning permission) and ample parking options. Surrounded by mature hedging for privacy, the garden also encompasses both sides of the house along with its rear area where you'll find a swimming pool needing refurbishment, along with other amenities like a disused well. Access to Albury Heath from the rear garden enhances its appeal further with beautiful views all around. Conveniently located within one mile of both Shere and Albury villages and just three minutes from the A25, this property is available for sale without onward chain.
