The Square, Shere

A stunning & immaculately presented 4 bedroom grade II listed village home dating back to 1625, offering many character features as well as a pretty cottage garden with decked area overhanging the village stream. Ground floor accommodation comprises a good size dual aspect sitting room with an original inglenook fireplace, exposed stone work, log burner & beamed ceiling. Original floor to ceiling beams & a couple of steps separate this from a snug, which offers fitted low level storage with shelving & provides access to a cloakroom/utility cupboard. A door leads through to a handmade kitchen with solid granite work surfaces, a double oven range cooker with extractor, integrated appliances, a solid oak floor & extensive storage. A large arch continues through to a dining room with space for 10 people, table & chairs & with double doors that open out onto the rear garden for great indoor-outdoor flow. The first floor offers a large dual aspect principal bedroom with an extensive range of fitted wardrobes, including a walk-in area & internal lighting, & views over Shere Square. There is also a second double bedroom with fitted wardrobes & expansive countryside views, a single bedroom or study with a feature fireplace & storage cupboard, & a well fitted bathroom with bath, wall mounted shower, shower screen, WC & a basin set into a vanity unit. A staircase leads up to the second floor which boasts a further double bedroom set slightly into the eaves, with exposed beams and two large eaves storage cupboards. To the front of the property there are mature shrubs & flowers either side of the front door, including extensive lavender bushes and wisteria vines. An attractive gravel pathway & gate leads through to the rear of the property, where there is a good sized lit courtyard garden with ample space for table & chairs, a built-in BBQ, and an oak built studio/shed with electricity, 2 doors & windows at either end. A path leads through to a magical decked area with seating alongside the River Tillingbourne. The garden (featured in Shere Open Gardens most years) has been professionally landscaped, offers sunlight in various areas throughout the day & also benefits from its own broadband connection. There is no official parking with the property, but it’s normally possible to park right outside the house, or a few metres away by the side of the church. Free parking (application needed) is also guaranteed in the village car park just beyond the Co-op. The property has been recently & lovingly restored, and its prime location in the heart of the village (yet far enough away to be quiet) offers exceptionally easy access to the extensive facilities Shere village offers.
