FINE COUNTRY RESIDENCE WITH EQUESTRIAN FACILITIES IN A HIGHLY DESIRABLE PRIVATE SURREY HILLS SETTING...........

Oak House is an imposing early 20th Century detached period home, occupying a superbly private position within the Surrey Hills. The property displays attractive elevations and retains a wealth of character features, including open fireplaces, leaded windows, latch doors, and original joinery.

Extending to approximately 3,500 sq ft, the accommodation is both generous and well balanced. A welcoming panelled reception hall with parquet flooring sets the tone, leading through to the dining room with bay window and the impressive drawing room, featuring a central brick-built fireplace and exposed timbers. The kitchen/breakfast room is particularly well proportioned, opening into a bright garden room and enjoying a pleasant outlook over the grounds. A secondary wing offers excellent versatility, with potential for self-contained annexe accommodation, comprising a family room, utility room, shower room and separate access. To the first floor, all bedrooms enjoy delightful views over the wonderful grounds and countryside. The principal suite with vaulted ceiling benefits from built-in wardrobes and an en-suite shower room, with a guest suite offering a dressing room and en-suite bathroom, alongside three further bedrooms served by a family bathroom.

The gardens provide a wonderful setting for the house, having been beautifully maintained and thoughtfully planted over many years. Offering an excellent degree of privacy and seclusion, they feature well-stocked borders, mature specimen trees and a charming pond with adjacent seating area. There is also a vegetable garden, greenhouse and orchard area.

A substantial south-westerly facing sun terrace is ideally positioned to enjoy the outlook and aspect, complemented by a heated swimming pool - heated with an air-source heat pump. A detached outbuilding provides excellent ancillary space, currently utilised as a music and recording studio. The equestrian facilities are well arranged, comprising fenced paddocks, a full-size manège and a stable courtyard, all well screened within the grounds. The property is approached via a long shingle driveway, culminating in a generous parking and turning area to the front of the house, with access to a double open-bay garage. Additional detached garaging is located at the entrance to the driveway. In all, the grounds extend to approximately 2.76 acres.
