Internally, the spacious feel is evident from the moment you walk into the double-height reception with its impressive stone staircase and a grand dining hall beond. An elegant sumptuous double aspect drawing room with fireplace provides a superb grand reception room. There is also a generous study that could be a further sitting room if required. A kitchen / breakfast room enjoys access to a pantry, sitting room and garden room. The leisure suite offers indoor pool, gym area, changing rooms and space for sauna / steam room, depending on a purchaser’s requirements. An independent boot room is ideal for country living, with provision for boots and coats, washing the dog etc. Also on the ground floor is a bedroom suite, adaptable for use for elderly relatives or staff etc.
On the first floor is a vast galleried landing which leads to the principal suite with twin bathrooms and dressing rooms. There are a further five bedrooms suites, with dressing areas and wardrobes.
The gardens and grounds are a fabulous feature of the property, with 12.35 acres of parkland, including river frontage. The land could be adapted for equine use, and there is easy access to a network of bridleways. There are currently five garages, and further planning approval for two semi-detached cottages and a detached lodge. The property benefits from a new 10 year warranty.
The original house and land were owned by Lord Rennell of Rodd, whose son Peter married socialite Nancy Mitford, daughter of Baron Redesdale, with the result that the house and grounds became the venue for several high society parties. In due course, the property passed to family member the Right Honourable Lavinia Fleming and her husband, Major Fleming, who sold the whole to the current owner over twenty years ago.
The location is superb, being just over five miles to Guildford, ideal for the daily commuter. The area provides many fine schools, including Cranleigh, St Catherine’s and Charterhouse, as well as the Royal Grammar School in Guildford.
