The Grade II listed property contains a rich history, having originally been built as a country house, called Feldemore for Edwin Waterhouse, co-founder of the accountancy practice of Price Waterhouse. The house was requisitioned by the British Army during the Second World War and, after that was leased for ten years by the Admiralty. The building was constructed around 1880, partly of Bargate stone and still retains many of its attractive architectural period features today, including original William Morris wall coverings in some rooms.
The property is located on the edge of the small rural village of Holmbury St Mary in the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty which is just 5.5 miles west of Dorking.
The property is predominantly surrounded by agricultural land and woodlands with some residential properties to the north west and eastern boundaries.
Located in an enviable position in the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty/National Landscape, this enclave of Surrey provides a rural aspect but is within easy reach of London. Three major towns sit within easy reach including Guildford, which is 12 miles to the west, Dorking is 5.4 miles to the east and Cranleigh, which is 6.6 miles to the south.
Three mainline railway stations including Dorking, Gomshall and Guildford offer connectivity to London in less than one hour. The A3 and the M25 can also be reached via Guildford, Cobham and Leatherhead, giving access to the national motorway network, as well as Heathrow, Gatwick and Southampton airports.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
