This mid 17th century country house in the Surrey Hills, with over 14 acres of land and an outdoor swimming pool, is a truly breathtaking home for sale.
On the market for £3.5 million, Friars Elm is located in Ranmore Common, Dorking, boasting seven bedrooms, five bathrooms and five reception rooms – and the most immaculate, manicured gardens.
Situated down a long gravel driveway with open fields to both sides, the gardens are a key feature of this property, with an orchard, small pond, vegetable garden with fruit cages and substantial paddock land. In spring/summer, it's a beautiful sight with flowers in bloom and flourishing garden borders.
The stunning pool, located out front on the edge of the terrace facing west, is a real sun trap and is the perfect surroundings for entertaining guests.
The current owners have completely remodelled the house, creating a superb family home while maintaining the character and integrity of the property.
With ample space inside, you'll find a study, utility room, wine cellar and games room, which can be adapted into secondary accommodation (subject to planning permission).
