5 bedroom detached house for sale

Situated in one of East Horsley’s most prestigious private roads, just a level walk from the village centre and station, this impressive five-bedroom Chown-built family home occupies a beautifully established plot of approximately 0.4 acres and is offered for sale with no onward chain.
Originally constructed in the 1930s, this quintessential Horsley residence exudes timeless character, showcasing the distinctive hallmarks of renowned local builder Frank Chown. Features include oak-mullioned windows with double-glazed leaded lights, beamed ceilings, beautiful wooden floors, and distinctive brick fireplaces, all of which combine to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere befitting of a classic Horsley home.
The property offers exceptional family accommodation, thoughtfully extended to provide a versatile layout that blends period charm with modern comfort. The ground floor includes a spacious formal lounge with a feature fireplace, a striking vaulted music room or additional sitting room overlooking the rear garden, an elegant dining room ideal for entertaining, and a large study perfectly suited to working from home. The generous kitchen/breakfast room with large larder, enjoys excellent natural light and adjoins an exceptionally spacious utility room which, if desired, could be incorporated into the kitchen to create a stunning open-plan kitchen, family, and dining space opening directly onto the garden. A cloakroom completes the ground floor.
Upstairs, there are five well-proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms, one of which offers access to a delightful private balcony overlooking the rear garden – a perfect spot to enjoy a peaceful morning coffee while taking in the view.
Set beyond a sweeping in-and-out driveway, the property enjoys an impressive frontage with ample parking, as well as a detached garage complemented by a covered carport, to the rear providing both convenience and potential for alfresco dining. The rear garden is a true highlight of the home: beautifully landscaped and thoughtfully designed, with mature trees, shrubs, and fruit trees offering colour and privacy throughout the seasons. The wide terrace provides the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining, while a stone bridge crossing a small stream adds charm and character to the garden’s layout.
Pennymead Drive is widely regarded as one of the most sought-after private roads in East Horsley, perfectly positioned just half a mile from the village centre and station. The property is within a short walk of the local tennis and cricket clubs, with Horsley Towers – the former stately home of Lord Lovelace – and miles of open countryside also close by.
This exceptional home combines classic Chown craftsmanship with generous accommodation and beautiful surroundings, making it a rare opportunity in an enviable location. VACANT POSSESSION
