Dating from the early 20th century, The Old Bakery is one of several attractive historic houses that contribute to a picturesque village centre, with its shop-front architecture reflecting its origins. With a blend of vintage charm and modern comfort, period features include sash windows, high-ceilinged rooms with cornicing, picture rails and ornamental fireplaces. The property has been renovated and maintained by the present owners with a commitment to high quality workmanship and materials throughout. There is chequered tiling and a stately handbuilt staircase in the generous reception hall where the double-height ceiling affords glimpses of the galleried landing above. Steps lead down into the bright, elegant drawing room with two box-bay windows and views over the village green, whilst the adjoining formal dining room features a canted bay window. Fitted with farmhouse-style cabinetry, the spacious kitchen has a red 4-oven Aga at its heart and offers plenty of space for informal dining, with a door leading to the light-filled conservatory, which in turn links to the study. The house is wellinsulated; most of the ground floor windows are double-glazed in timber frames and there
is high quality secondary glazing at first floor level. The first floor offers five bedrooms including the principal bedroom with a dressing room and luxurious en suite bathroom. Further accommodation is available to the rear and above the garage, with a lower-level studio and upper-level office, sitting area and bathroom.
Two timber, five-bar gates mark the access to a driveway at the side of the house, which extends to the garage and provides hardstanding for parking. With a woodland backdrop, the rear garden has a series of raised beds filled with established shrubs. Steps provide access to an expanse of lawn surrounded by a curved bank planted with architectural, colourful and scented shrubs with year round interest. At the top of the garden, a private gate provides access to the Hurtwood and a further lawn affords elevated and far-reaching views to the parish church and the Surrey Hills.<br /><br />The village of Holmbury St Mary enjoys an idyllic setting on the shallow upper slopes of the greensand ridge that forms the Surrey Hills. Local amenities include a village hall which hosts clubs, societies and events, a small village shop, a coffee shop and two public houses. The excellent Kingfisher Farm Shop is nearby at Abinger Hammer. The market town of Dorking is also close by, providing a comprehensive range of everyday amenities, including High Street and independent retailers, restaurants (including Sorrel owned by Michelin star chef Steve Drake), coffee shops, a cinema and a theatre. Further retail, cultural and leisure opportunities are available in Guildford. Well-regarded schooling in the vicinity includes Cranleigh School, St Catherine’s, St John's, Charterhouse, Reigate Grammar, Royal Grammar School, Guildford High School and Duke of Kent School.
