4 bed detached house for sale

Little London, Albury Heath GU5

A superb opportunity to secure an attractive detached family home that dates back to circa the 16th/17th century, set in a half acre, private west facing garden in a quiet & highly sought after rural hamlet in Albury Heath. The property has been owned by the same family for 60 years & is now in need of full modernisation (to include the roof, windows, heating system etc.) but offers the scope to create an incredible forever home. Ground floor accommodation comprises an entrance porch, entrance hall, a large dual aspect sitting room with 2 open fireplaces, a dual aspect dining room with a picture window overlooking the rear garden & door with side access. This leads through to an extensive kitchen/breakfast room with double doors leading out to the rear garden, a separate utility room with rear access & bathroom with corner bath, basin, bidet & wc. There is also a family room/possible 5th bedroom adjacent to the bathroom, with an open fireplace & bay window. Upstairs offers a very large dual aspect bedroom with storage, a 2nd very large double bedroom (previously split into 2 double bedrooms) to the front, a 3rd double bedroom (with scope to extend back into the eaves), a large single bedroom, family bathroom with bath & basin & storage room (into eaves) beyond, & a separate wc. There is also a particularly spacious landing area with window. Many character features include exposed timbers, original (very wide) floor boards, particularly high ceilings for an old cottage, original doors & open fireplaces. Outside there is a substantial detached garage/barn to one side of the front garden, offering the potential to create additional living accommodation/an annexe (stpp) & a large area to the front of the house providing scope for further parking as required. The property is set behind a mature hedge so offers great privacy, & the lawned garden continues to both sides of the property & to the rear, where there is also a swimming pool (requiring refurbishment), a disused well & a garden shed. There is a 5 bar gate to the rear of the garden which can be used to walk directly onto Albury Heath (the property has a right of way). There are attractive views to all sides. Ideally located within circa 1 mile of both Shere & Albury villages, in a very peaceful location yet within a 3 minute drive of the A25, this property is offered for sale with no onward chain.
