Extensively enlarged and thoughtfully adapted over the years, the property seamlessly blends original period features with modern comforts. Exposed beam ceilings in parts of the original home, rustic internal doors, and an inviting open fireplace all contribute to its warm and distinctive character.

Two double-aspect reception rooms provide welcoming, light-filled living spaces, perfectly positioned to enjoy views of the surrounding gardens. What was once the principal entrance now serves as a convenient side access from the sitting room to the garden. An office with built-in storage offers an ideal workspace and leads directly into one of the four generous double bedrooms.

The entrance hall provides access to a family bathroom, separate WC, and the principal bedroom, which benefits from built-in storage and attractive views across the rear garden. The country-style kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of units and flows effortlessly into a spacious breakfast room, creating a sociable and practical living environment. Beyond, an inner hallway leads to two further double bedrooms, an additional bathroom, and a utility room with direct access to the garden.

Without question, the property’s most captivating feature is its secluded outdoor setting. The extensive gardens and adjoining woodland combine to create a private retreat rich in wildlife and natural beauty. To the front, ample parking is available alongside two garages and several useful outbuildings, offering excellent storage and workshop potential.

Ockham is classed as a small hamlet and consists of mostly period, character homes which, due to their small numbers, rarely become available for sale within the open marketplace. The area provides a distinctly rural yet not isolated feel and is within easy reach of road and rail communications.

Local shopping for one’s day to day needs can be found at either Ripley or East Horsley, whilst more comprehensive shopping facilities, arts and leisure facilities are catered for at either Guildford or Cobham. The area as a whole, is surrounded by Greenbelt countryside which is ideal for outdoor pursuits.
