5 bedroom farmhouse for sale

This charming period farmhouse, which is not listed, is understood to date from the 16th century and has attractive colour washed brick and tile-hung elevations under a clay tiled roof. In recent years, the house has been extensively modernised and upgraded to a very high standard including the conversion of the attached period barn into a magnificent 34 feet x 15 feet drawing room with vaulted ceiling, extensive exposed timbering, limestone flooring and under floor heating. In addition, a self-contained annexe has been created which is ideal as a guest suite. The farmhouse, barn and annexe surround a lovely, sheltered walled courtyard with a heated swimming pool with electrically operated safety cover set in quartz paving. The property has a sunny, south and west-facing outlook over a well maintained garden with a large expanse of level lawn, ideal for children. Beyond, there are four well fenced paddocks with a stable block and a field shelter. Little Trunley Heath Farm stands on the edge of the rural hamlet of Unstead, lying midway between the popular villages of Shalford and Bramley. Although rural in atmosphere, the location is very convenient for access to the towns of Guildford (2.75 miles) and Godalming (2.25 miles) providing excellent shopping and recreational facilities. There are a number of superb schools within easy reach including St. Catherine's in Bramley, St. Hilary's and Charterhouse in Godalming and Lanesborough, the Royal Grammar School, the High School and Tormead in Guildford. For commuters, Farncombe main line station is 1.5 miles with easy car parking and a regular train service to London Waterloo from 42 minutes. Guildford Station (London Waterloo from 38 minutes) is within 3 miles and there is access onto the A3 at Compton in 3 miles. The property adjoins a protected nature reserve and is surrounded by fields and light woodland with an abundance of birdlife and wildlife. At the end of the road, there is the River Wey with lovely riverside walks along the towpath.
