Four bedroom detached surrey hills house in almost an acre of gardens and woodland ........

Leith Wood Cottage enjoys a wonderfully secluded setting in the heart of the Surrey Hills, surrounded by some of the county’s most beautiful countryside yet within easy reach of Dorking and Guildford. Occupying a plot of just under an acre, this detached chalet bungalow offers flexible and adaptable accommodation ideally suited to a range of lifestyles. The entrance hall draws one through to the kitchen/breakfast room with Aga and provides ample space for informal dining, continuing to the inner hall and the impressive conservatory, a superb year-round living space with underfloor heating, delightful views and direct access to the gardens. The dining room sits at the heart of the house and is perfectly arranged for entertaining, connecting both the kitchen/breakfast room and the sitting room. The sitting room is a generous through room centred around a fireplace with a bay window and double doors giving onto the garden at the side of the property, along with double doors to the rear garden. The ground floor also offers two well-proportioned double bedrooms, each benefiting from their own en-suite facilities. On the first floor, a large landing provides a versatile additional space that could serve as a reading area or play space, leading to two further bedrooms served by a bathroom, along with a study. Outside, the gardens are a particular delight, wrapping around the property and providing a variety of areas to enjoy, from open lawns to pockets of light woodland. A unique feature of the property is a structure believed to be a former water reservoir, presenting an intriguing opportunity to create a studio, workspace, hobby room or retreat, subject to any necessary consents. A large driveway provides parking for numerous vehicles and is complemented by a detached double garage.
