Quite possibly one of the prettiest houses in West Surrey.
Predominantly constructed of stone with Strawberry Gothic style windows, Abbots Garden is arguably one of the prettiest houses to come to the market in this part of Surrey for many years. Understood to date from 1890 and a much-loved family home for the last 43 years, it now offers a superb opportunity for a new owner.Nestled between two important manor houses, the house offers wonderful and well-balanced accommodation over two floors including three superb reception rooms running along the back of the house; two with doors leading out to the southwest-facing terrace. Upstairs are five bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms, most enjoying beautiful views over the garden and surrounding countryside. Abbots Garden is approached through impressive pillars with fine gates into a tranquil cobbled courtyard with water feature and parking for numerous cars. Adjacent to the house is a substantial detached garage block with useful first floor storeroom above which could be used for other purposes (potentially subject to planning).The majority of the grounds are to the rear of the house and are mainly contained within a fine stone wall. The gardens have been beautifully created by the current owners and offer some fine planting. Hidden from sight is a fascinating outbuilding which is about 64 feet in length, which offers so many opportunities and is currently a lovely potting shed. There is southwest-facing terrace along the rear of the house perfect for relaxing or dining whilst admiring the garden. The surrounding land gently rises up giving the occupants of Abbots Garden an idyllic borrowed landscape.Additional InformationMobile Coverage:Please look at the Ofcom website for more information
