5 bedroom detached house

Birches House dates from the early 20th century and was extended, refurbished and modernised by our clients to provide enviable family accommodation together with elegant formal entertaining spaces.

The layout of the house has been incredibly well thought through with sensible positioning of the boot and laundry rooms, a wonderfully light drawing room open to the dining room as well as well a fitted study and a substantial kitchen/breakfast room open to the family room.

The generous principal bedroom suite enjoys amazing views. There four further bedrooms, a superb landing fitted with library shelves and a further study are as well as two family bath/shower rooms.

Outbuildings
In addition to the linked double garage there is a store, a single garage and a further garden shed.

Garden and Grounds
The gardens and grounds extend to about 3.3 acres and include sweeping lawns, a tennis court, a delightful collection of specimen shrubs, areas of woodland as well as a productive kitchen garden with an extensive drive, parking and turning area to the front of the house.

Birches House occupies a lovely situation overlooking its own delightful gardens and grounds, to the open countryside and rolling Surrey Hills beyond. The house occupies a remarkable position on a private lane, surrounded by its own land with access to Gomshall, Shere and Peaslake.

This part of Surrey is renowned for its accessibility to central London, yet at the same time offering some of the prettiest countryside in England being in the midst of The Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The surrounding villages are hugely desirable and massively attractive with pubs, local shops, cafes, restaurants and
churches as well as doctors' surgeries and in the case of Shere a lido.

The house is surrounded by miles of open countryside and is accessible to both Guildford and Dorking town centres. Popular with walkers, cyclists, horse riders and families moving out of London. There are a range of local schools in the area, both state and private including The Royal Grammar School and Guildford High School, St Catherine's in Bramley, Cranmore at West Horsley, Prior's Field, and Charterhouse in Godalming and Cranleigh School in Cranleigh.
