Horsham Road, Cranleigh, Surrey, GU6

Immaculate central village home with a rich history.

Description

Converted to an exceptionally high standard, The Old Police House is a beautiful Edwardian home situated in a popular location in the centre of Cranleigh village. The property originally dates from 1904 and was the village police station before our current owners purchased it.

The current owners have been in residence for ten years and have completed an extensive conversion including full remodeling of the accommodation whilst sympathetically retaining many of the original features and the character and charm of the property.

The porch opens on to the welcoming entrance hall with slate tiles and custom-made storage. The hallway leads to the well-appointed kitchen/dining/family room, this is very much the heart of the home, designed with modern cabinetry, built in appliances, and room for a large dining table and a relaxing informal seating area. The kitchen flows through the arched cell doorways of the original police station to a spacious reception room. This room benefits from lovely views across the rear.

There is also a cosy snug with a log burner, a useful study, utility room and cloakroom which complete the downstairs accommodation.

A bespoke oak staircase leads to the first floor where there is a principal bedroom with dressing area and en suite, four further bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The gardens have been beautifully designed with a lovely terrace with pergola, level lawn, manicured bushes and a lavender walkway. There is a separate paved walled garden immediately off the kitchen which is perfect for morning coffee.

There is an open bay double car port and ample parking on the graveled driveway.
