House For Sale £2,250,000
Herons March is a wonderful family home with amazing, cleverly re-modelled, generous and contemporary interior spaces within a semi-traditional arts and crafts family home with 'art deco' influences in the most fantastic situation and superb location.
The extensive accommodation comprises a stunning dining hall with glass atrium, two storys above replacing part of the roof which is open to the kitchen. Beyond these rooms is a charming living room with arched windows, in addition to which is a well-appointed study and a snug. Running along the south eastern elevation of the house is a substantial family room with an arched glazed roof.
On the first floor is a galleried landing from which the principal bedroom is approached which enjoys an en-suite shower room. In addition there are four further bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Outside
The house benefits from not only an indoor pool but also generous gardens and grounds that roll down through delightful woodland and park-like gardens to the lake. The view from the terrace over the property's own land over the lake to Leith Hill is sublime. Beyond this are a number of outbuildings including greenhouses and various stores. Planning consent has been obtained for the erection of a new garage and replacement summerhouse ref: Mo/2014/1886.
Gardens & Grounds
The mature gardens comprise sweeping and terraced lawns
interspersed with specimen shrubs and trees as well as herbaceous borders and flower beds leading to the woodland and the banks of a lake beyond.
Services
We are advised by our clients that the property has mains water, electricity, oil-fired heating and private drainage.
The property is located in a fabulously private position to the
south of the village of Ockley, on a private lane adjacent to a lake owned and managed by the local Wildlife Trust.
The house is situated towards the centre of its own land with fabulous views over the adjoining lake to Leith Hill beyond. Ockley offers a farm shop, public house and train station.
The Surrey Hills is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and offers fine walking and riding along many footpaths and bridleways. More comprehensive shopping and recreational facilities are available in the larger centres of Cranleigh, Horsham, Dorking and Guildford.
