Detached house for sale in Shere, Guildford, Surrey GU5

Set within a magical plot of almost 2 acres, ‘Cedars’ represents a unique opportunity to acquire an outstanding development prospect deep within the Surrey Hills.

The property itself is accessed via a discreet lane and affords a high degree of privacy. The stunning grounds include a spectacular array of specimen trees and feature two magnificent cedars. The significant central lawn and attractive cultivated beds of the more formal upper garden are complemented by mature woodland within the lower grounds. The bright and sunny property benefits from a fine and open aspect enjoying sunshine throughout the day.

The attractive grounds extend to 1.7 acres and will afford a unique lifestyle opportunity for those who enjoy the outdoors; yet ‘Cedars’ remains accessible for the commute to central London, in addition to both Gatwick and Heathrow airports.

The scenic village of Shere offers excellent local amenities, with the main town centres of Guildford, Dorking and Cranleigh hosting weekly markets, an extensive range of shops, restaurants, entertainment and leisure facilities, plus excellent schools.

Located within an exceptionally peaceful setting in the heart of the beautiful Surrey Hills, this secluded property is set within extensive grounds and is bordered by a bridle path and by the charming Hurtwood & Pond’s lanes. This isolated rural retreat is otherwise located within walking range of the quintessential and picturesque Surrey villages of Shere & Peaslake.

It is likely that the dwelling in its current condition would require improvement and further modernisation. Subject to the necessary consents, it could be enlarged and will create a stunning home. The property has been under the same ownership for several generations. There are restrictions on development as the plot sits within the Green Belt and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty but the privacy and charm of the plot itself certainly offers considerable potential.
