5 bed barn conversion for sale

Guildford Road, Cranleigh, Surrey GU6

A rare opportunity to acquire a converted barn which occupies a superb location tucked off the Guildford Road with views over its own land.

Thornsflush Barn dates back some 400 years and was first converted and extended to create a family home around 30 years ago. Completely private, it has picturesque courtyards and gardens on three sides and uninterrupted views beyond and across its own grounds. It is the perfect home for summer entertaining.

A much-loved 'quirky' family home in need of some updating, it also offers the opportunity to create a self-contained annexe, while at the rear of the grounds there's the option of creating a small equestrian centre or a working-from-home environment in studios/stables within the grounds.

Completely private and almost unseen from the main road, access to Thornsflush Barn is from a long driveway leading to a large parking area. Wrought iron gates open into a beautiful south-facing courtyard. The drive continues up to a large hardstanding and stable yard with four stables as well as three very useful studios plus a cloakroom and potential kitchenette.

On the other side of the house is the main garden with raised beds, areas of lawn, terracing and seating areas.

There is an optional secondary driveway from the main road if needed. Beyond here are fields of approximately 3.75 acres and further seating and play areas.

Thornsflush Barn is situated approximately half a mile from the centre of the ever-popular village of Cranleigh.

There is also a regular bus service to the county town of Guildford, only 9 miles away, where a more comprehensive range of shopping, sporting and leisure facilities can be found.

Communications are excellent, with the nearby A3 and A29 providing quick access to the M25, the international airports of Heathrow and Gatwick, London and the South Coast.

There are many very good local schools right on your doorstep, not least Cranleigh prep and senior as well as St Catherine's at Bramley, The Royal Grammar School and Guildford High School in Guildford and Charterhouse School in Godalming.

There are also a wide range of sporting facilities locally, including excellent walking, cycling and riding in the surrounding Surrey Hills, some of the finest countryside in Surrey.
