Rycotewood is a magnificent barn conversion, offering more than 4,500 sq ft of beautifully presented accommodation in a peaceful rural setting close to the sought-after village of Cranleigh. The property retains a wealth of character, including exposed timber beams throughout, while the gardens enjoy a delightful outlook across open countryside. The centrepiece of the home is the spectacular reception hall, with its galleried landing and vaulted ceiling displaying exposed timbers and original framing. Full-height windows to both the front and rear elevations flood the space with natural light, while a grand split staircase rises to the first-floor landing. Leading from the reception hall are a formal dining room and a generous sitting room centred around an impressive brick-built fireplace fitted with a wood-burning stove. The ground floor also includes a comfortable family room, a bright conservatory with French doors opening onto the gardens, and a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room fitted with white cabinetry, integrated appliances and an Aga. The first floor provides four well-proportioned double bedrooms, including the impressive principal suite with bespoke fitted wardrobes and a luxurious en suite bathroom featuring dual washbasins, a walk-in shower and a freestanding nickel-plated Catchpole & Rye bath. The remaining bedrooms are served by a
family bathroom with a corner bath, while two loft rooms provide useful additional storage. Outside, a long driveway leads to a generous parking area in front of the house, providing space for numerous vehicles. The property is set within attractive gardens, including a walled
garden with areas of lawn and a south-facing terrace for al fresco dining, enjoying a delightful outlook across the surrounding countryside.
