4 bedroom detached house

Collendean Farm is a handsome Grade II Listed property which dates from the 17th century. The property features red brick and tiled elevations, with exposed timber beams inside, as well as various other splendid original details. There are five main ground-floor reception rooms including the dining room, which provides a welcoming entrance with its terracotta tiled flooring and grand inglenook fireplace, fitted with a stove. There is also a well-proportioned sitting room and a comfortable family room, as well as a light and airy conservatory overlooking the stunning garden. The kitchen has elegant, modern shaker-style units and an Aga, while the breakfast room provides space for informal dining.

The first floor offers two well-proportioned double bedrooms, including the generous principal bedroom with its large en suite bathroom. The second bedroom has an en suite shower room, with the first floor also including a family shower room. The second floor provides two further double bedrooms with vaulted ceilings and exposed timbers, one of which has extensive eaves storage.

The farmhouse is set in delightful gardens and grounds, which are surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside. The long gravel driveway leads from the road to the property and provides plenty of parking space in front of the detached garaging block. As well as parking for two vehicles, the garaging block houses a sauna and jacuzzi with a shower, and upstairs an office with its own kitchen and shower room, which could be used as a private annexe if required. The garden has far-reaching lawns, an impressive heated swimming pool with its own sun terrace and two peaceful ponds, as well as various shrubs, hedgerows and mature trees. There is also an area of private woodland and beyond the garden, fenced paddocks with shelters, which are ideal for grazing livestock or keeping horses.

The property is in a beautiful rural setting, just outside the small village of Norwood Hill. The village has a local pub, while the nearby town of Horley, three miles away, provides a range of everyday facilities including high street shops and supermarkets. Larger centres with more comprehensive amenities include Dorking, Reigate and Redhill. There are also a great choice of schools in the area, both state and independent, including Copthorne Preparatory School, Micklefield, Reigate Grammar, The Hawthorns, Dunottar, Redehall, the Royal Alexandra & Albert, Hurtwood House and Moon Hall School. There is excellent road access to Gatwick Airport and the M23 & M25 for the wider motorway network, London and the south coast.
