4 bed detached house for sale

Church Lane, Cranleigh, Surrey GU6

Discreetly positioned yet centrally located in the heart of Cranleigh, this exquisite Grade II listed residence has been sympathetically and meticulously renovated throughout, seamlessly blending period charm with contemporary comfort. Extending to over 5,000 sq ft, the property also benefits from a large and versatile studio space above the double garage - ideal as a home office, creative studio, or guest accommodation.

A striking galleried dining and reception hall with a wood burner sets the tone for the rest of the home, leading into a characterful, beamed drawing room with a second wood-burning fireplace and elegant wooden flooring. The newly fitted kitchen, thoughtfully designed by Aspect Kitchens, features granite worktops, integrated appliances, and delightful views over the peaceful gardens and central landscaped courtyard.

The entrance hall also provides access to a study and formal dining room, along with a well-appointed cloakroom/WC. These multiple reception spaces offer flexibility for both family living and entertaining.

Upstairs, the first floor comprises four generously sized bedrooms, two of which enjoy en suite facilities (one with a bathroom, one with a shower room), in addition to a further studio space and two stylishly renovated family bathrooms. The master suite is particularly impressive, boasting an en suite and a beautifully appointed, fully fitted dressing room.

The landscaped gardens-believed to have been originally influenced by Gertrude Jekyll-are a true feature of the home. To the front, a York stone terrace is bordered by a box parterre, lavender, and mature shrubs, with a charming gate opening onto the lane. The rear garden includes a sun terrace, rose beds, lily pond, and a range of secluded areas including a productive fruit garden, vegetable patch, powered greenhouse, and a substantial potting shed.

A private, walled courtyard to the rear provides an additional outdoor sanctuary, with stone and brick paving, a log store, an old well, and a profusion of planting including hibiscus, clematis, and climbing roses.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a historic yet fully modernised home in one of Surrey's most desirable villages, combining privacy, elegance, and everyday practicality.

Cranleigh itself offers an excellent range of amenities, including independent shops and major supermarkets (Sainsbury's, Co-Op, and M&S Simply Food), as well as cafés, restaurants, and traditional country pubs. The village also hosts a vibrant weekly market, library, garden centre, and cultural events at Cranleigh Arts Centre. There are outstanding schools nearby, including Cranleigh School, Pennthorpe, and St Catherine's, with top institutions in Guildford such as Charterhouse, Guildford High School, and the Royal Grammar School.

Guildford, a short drive away, provides an even broader selection of shops, dining, and cultural attractions, while the surrounding Surrey Hills-designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty-offer wonderful opportunities for walking, riding, and outdoor pursuits.
