Ripley Road, East Clandon, GU4

This delightful Grade II listed village house retains many charming original period features including exposed wall and ceiling beams, a notable inglenook fireplace, and a priest hole. This former hall house lies within the village conservation area and is believed to date back to around 1510. It is thought to be the second oldest house in the village.
Downstairs, the sitting room and dining room are open-plan, and there is a connecting family room, study, and playroom/garden room. The kitchen/breakfast room has plenty of space for a kitchen table. There are doors directly out to the garden from the kitchen, the sitting room and the playroom. A separate utility, and guest cloakroom/wc complete the ground floor accommodation.
The first floor is accessed by 2 staircases and features 3 excellent double bedrooms and 3 bath/shower rooms, 2 of which are ensuite.
There are lovely views out over the surrounding gardens from all rooms.

Outside

The house is approached through a five-bar gated entrance from the lane with a wide gravel drive and parking area in front of the double garage. The front garden lies behind an attractive flint stone retaining wall and there are flower beds and areas of lawn with several mature specimen trees including 2 acers and a magnificent wisteria on the front elevation of the house.
The rear of the house shelters three sides of an extensive paved sun terrace looking over the rear lawned area of garden. Well-stocked flower borders and beds surround the lawn with 2 pergolas and a further paved terrace. Further abundant planting surrounds a significant stone and brick 'bridge' sculpture which forms a striking focal point within the garden.
From the lawn, steps rise to an area of orchard where there is a potting shed, a composting area, and a small post and rail fenced meadow/paddock.
