Filmer Lodge is an exceptional contemporary country home, occupying a stunning elevated position on Unstead Lane in the sought-after Surrey village of Bramley, with far-reaching views across beautiful surrounding countryside and a total plot approaching 2.3 acres. Approached via a large gravel driveway, this immaculate detached residence offers an outstanding balance of modern open-plan living, elegant reception space and beautifully landscaped gardens, all flooded with natural light through expansive glazing and wide bi-fold doors. With its extensive grounds, ancillary buildings and wonderfully private setting, the property has the feel of a small country estate, whilst remaining only a stone’s throw from the heart of Bramley village.
The property has been thoughtfully extended and extensively improved to create a striking family home of over 4,500 sq ft including extensive outbuildings and garaging. The quality of presentation throughout is exceptional, with contemporary finishes, generous proportions and a seamless connection between the interior and the landscaped gardens beyond.
The welcoming entrance hall immediately sets the tone for the house, with large-format tiled flooring and wide openings leading into the heart of the home. To the rear, the magnificent kitchen and breakfast room forms a spectacular open-plan living space, beautifully illuminated by an impressive glazed roof lantern and extensive bi-fold doors framing the views across the gardens and countryside. The kitchen itself is fitted with an extensive range of bespoke cabinetry centred around a substantial island, with ample space for dining and informal seating. A contemporary wood-burning stove provides a focal point to the living area, while the uninterrupted flow to the outside terrace makes the space ideal for both entertaining and day-to-day family life.
Further reception accommodation includes an elegant dining room and a generous sitting room with bay window, together creating excellent formal entertaining space, while a separate snug provides a more intimate family room. A utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor arrangement.
The first floor offers five well-proportioned bedrooms arranged around a central landing. The principal bedroom enjoys lovely garden views and features a comprehensive bank of fitted wardrobes together with its own en suite shower room, while two further bedrooms also enjoy en suite facilities. Bedrooms four and five both benefit from fitted storage and are served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom. The first floor is presented to an exceptional standard throughout, continuing the light-filled and contemporary feel of the ground floor accommodation.

Beyond the formal gardens, the property also benefits from a private paddock, screened from the main house by mature hedging and offering excellent versatility for those seeking space for a pony, hobby farming or grazing.
