5 bed detached house for sale

Chellows Lane, Crowhurst, Surrey RH7

Set on a private one-acre plot in rolling countryside with far-reaching views to the North Downs, just south of Oxted, this elegant home offers a perfect blend of contemporary and countryside living. Within walking distance to the Grumpy Mole at the Royal Oak Inn and a short drive to Oxted, Edenbridge, and Lingfield, it benefits from easy access to London (via London Bridge and Victoria lines) and excellent local schools.

The property was thoughtfully developed around the original agricultural building and comes with a 3-year Build Zone guarantee. Located on a private 200-acre farm with a small cluster of neighboring homes, the design highlights natural light and expansive countryside views through large glazing. The current owners have enhanced the property with beautiful interior design, creating an immaculate and welcoming family home with high-quality modern amenities while maintaining a strong connection to nature and wildlife.

Despite being part of a close-knit community, the house offers excellent privacy, accessed via electric double gates leading to a sweeping driveway with ample parking. A double-storey oak garage with power and storage and a separate fully fitted gym with oak beams and wall-anchored gym equipment sit alongside the driveway, bordered by lavender, lighting, and olive trees. A serene undercroft seating area marks the entrance to the house.

The entrance hallway serves as a central hub at the southern end of the house, providing access to the kitchen/dining area, office/snug, laundry room, guest WC, and stairs to the first floor. Wet underfloor heating runs throughout, beneath solid oak parquet flooring on the ground floor and carpet in the bedrooms. A Sonos music and entertainment system connects the sitting room, dining room, kitchen, and principal bedroom. The house features ultrafast fibre internet, 4 solar panels generating 1.04KW on the southern roof, CAT6 cabling, and hdtv network points throughout.

At the heart of the home is a stunning open-plan kitchen/dining room with a lofted mezzanine, flooded with light through expansive glazing on two elevations, and highlighted by feature up and downlighting. The handmade bespoke kitchen by Forest Designs centers around a 3.5m island with extensive storage, above-counter lighting, and a breakfast bar. Miele integrated appliances and a Siemens full-height fridge and freezer keep the cement work surfaces clear. A walk-in pantry is located at the northern end.

Above the kitchen, a mezzanine reading area is accessed via a handmade cast-iron sliding stair. Concertina doors open from the kitchen onto a terrace, part paved and part composite decking, with an outdoor dining area. A 6m water fountain surrounded by plantings connects the house to the garden, which extends to the countryside boundary. The garden offers ample space for children's play, outdoor entertaining, and multiple seating areas including a hot tub and fire pit. A sunken seating area with a biofuel fireplace and integrated lighting is ideal for large gatherings. The overall plot is just under an acre.

Inside, a double-sided wood-burning stove separates the kitchen/dining area from the living room, which also opens onto the garden via concertina doors. At the front of the house, a large study/snug with extensive storage links to a utility room with fitted cupboards and space for washing machine and dryer, plus side access.

At the northern end, two bedrooms with independent outside access share a shower room. At the southern end, the first floor is accessed via a solid oak staircase with glass balustrade and houses the principal bedroom with far-reaching views, a dressing area with fully fitted floor-to-ceiling wardrobes, and an en suite. Two additional bedrooms share a family bathroom. The vendors have installed full air conditioning in the three bedrooms on this floor.

The property sits in the rolling countryside but benefits from being within an easy drive of Oxted and its amenities, shopping and access to London (Hurst Green to London Bridge direct in 37 minutes and Oxted direct to London Bridge in 33 minutes).
