" Chris Dean - Chantries and Pewleys Approached via a generous driveway providing ample parking, the house opens into a welcoming entrance hall which forms the central point of the home and leads through to the principal reception spaces. The main reception room has been arranged to make the most of the outlook, with large windows and sliding doors opening onto a balcony terrace overlooking the gardens and countryside beyond. A separate family room, currently used as the dining room, provides additional living space, while the kitchen sits at the heart of the house with extensive storage, generous worktop space and views across the rear garden. A study and utility room add further flexibility, with the latter providing access to the integral garage, rear patio and lower ground floor. The bedroom accommodation is arranged across the upper floor. The principal suite enjoys elevated countryside views and includes a dressing area and en-suite bathroom. Four further double bedrooms, comprising two larger doubles and two smaller doubles, are served by a family bathroom. The current arrangement works well for family living whilst also offering scope for reconfiguration to suit individual requirements, subject to any necessary consents. A substantial lower ground floor provides a versatile open-plan space with direct access to the swimming pool terrace and a shower room. Currently arranged as a leisure and entertaining area, it offers considerable flexibility and potential for future adaptation. The south-west facing rear garden has been thoughtfully terraced to follow the natural contours of the plot, with a generous patio, areas of lawn, mature planting and side access. The swimming pool, measuring approximately 12 meters in length, forms a focal point and is surrounded by extensive patio areas. The balcony above and pillars create an impressive entertaining environment that would be ideal during the warmer months and sits neatly within the wider landscape of the garden. To the front, a substantial driveway provides extensive off-street parking alongside an integral double garage. This is a location that supports an active, outdoor way of living. Pewley Down is moments away, with direct access to miles of footpaths and bridleways across the Surrey Hills, along with Shalford Meadows and the River Wey for further walking, cycling, and water-based activity. Riding schools and other country pursuits are also within easy reach.
