Quintessential Surrey Farmhouse set in 17 acres of open Surrey countryside.

Description

Approached along a half mile driveway passing under a lightly wooded canopy leading to well managed paddocks, Squires Farm is the quintessential Surrey Farmhouse, surrounded by a fine rural setting.

The farmhouse's original rustic stone building is believed to date from 1500's, before sizable Victorian extensions were added. Further enlargements occurred during 20th century and more recently, creating this fabulous 7 bedroom family home. To historic stone and lime pointed walls were affixed half wall hung tiles with lower red brick elevations, interwoven with timber casement windows. This handsome house was fully renovated in 2003 by the present owners and now has a pot tile hipped roof, consistent with its architectural style, resembling a typical Surrey country house at the turn of the 19th Century. The modernisation's have produced a well-arranged, light and spacious home. The farmstead once formed part of The Bury Hill Estate, before it was sold by the Barclays family in 1953. The house has remained in its current ownership for 52 years with its 17 acres used to rear livestock and breed polo ponies.

The sympathetic renovations have created a space ideal for comfortable modern family living built around abundant period features, adding much character and charm. The dining room retains the original exposed oak beams and ceiling rafters and is linked to a formal sitting room by the entrance hall, which makes the ideal arrangement for receiving and entertaining guests. The sitting room has hand built book cabinetry surrounding the central fire place with stone mantle and hearth, and duel aspect views over the gardens, and French windows breaking onto a south facing sun terrace. There is a pleasant side study with access to the first floor and 2 cloakrooms at either end of the house. At the East end of the house is a large family country kitchen with double AGA oven, double Belfast sink, central island and painted cupboard units, which really does form the hub of the house. The kitchen has pleasant views over the rear garden and flows comfortably into the snug. The snug is an ideal room for relaxing and / or a play room off the kitchen. To one side is a utility / boot room and on the other, a light part glazed breakfast room making it ideal for kitchen dining throughout the year. This room leads to a rear lobby entrance hall and also breaks out onto a raised sun terrace with vine covered oak pergola and stone slab paving. The house has 2 good wine cellars.

There are 3 staircases in the house, 2 lead to either end of the first floor connected by a hall landing with beautiful exposed timber beams. The beams have also been retained in some guest bedrooms. The master bedroom occupies the entire west end of the house with walk in dressing room and bath/shower room en suite. This room has far-reaching views over the courtyard, rear garden and holding paddocks. There are 6 further double guest bedrooms, some with vaulted ceilings and 2 additional family bathrooms. An ideal arrangement for a young family or entertaining guests.

To the front is a large hard standing farmyard with access to a 3 bay open barn garage with a separate large side barn with side store. To the north of the courtyard is a further spacious timber barn that has lapsed planning permission (Ref: MO/2007/2020 Mole Valley District Council 2008) for residential conversion to a spacious 1 bedroom self-contained cottage. There may well be further flexibility to convert these buildings for ancillary use to the main house, subject to obtaining planning permission. A second courtyard has 11 stables, tack room and barn store with access to a 29.09m x 17.76m open barn, with potential for alternative uses. Public Footpath No. 253 and Bridleway Nos 252 and 573 Dorking were altered by a creation and extinguishment order with Surrey County Council, September 2008. This removed public rights that passed through the farmstead and diverted them away from the house to the east from the drive, behind a large beech hedge.

These public rights of way provide access to miles of riding and cycling through Squires wood, Leith Hill, The Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and up onto the North Downs. This runs through both The Forestry Commission and The National Trust land. The 17 acres comprise house and garden, farmstead and buildings, well managed mixed use fields, paddocks and woods. There are 2 large grazing paddocks to either side of the driveway with the remainder to the rear of the property. In all this is a charming and spacious country home, with inexhaustible potential, in a remarkably picturesque setting highly sought after by the family or equestrian markets.
