Description

Fredley Manor is a sensational Grade II listed house. The property sits in a wonderful position adjacent to Boxhill within the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, giving a rural feel, whilst being highly accessible.

There is significant accommodation within the main house, with some excellent living spaces, including a dual aspect panelled sitting room with inglenook fireplace and a lovely drawing room which opens to a triple aspect library. There are views over the property’s beautiful grounds and beyond from all rooms.

There are five bedrooms on the first floor (four with en suites) and a further bedroom and bathroom on the second floor.

Michaelas Cottage has been recently refurbished and is a very useful and adaptable secondary house. The property has extant planning for a partial new first floor if needed. It offers a number of potential uses for the owner of Fredley Manor and provides its own front and rear gardens and parking - accessed separately via Fredley Park.

The Manor is accessed via iron gates over a long and impressive tree lined driveway. The total plot extends to about twenty-one acres and includes beautifully stocked gardens, which surround the house. The gardens include a tennis court, pool area with pavilion (in need of refurbishment), ponds, together with level and gently sloping lawns.

There is a significant area of mature woodland and a field (with helicopter access). Adjacent to Michealas Cottage is a two-car garage with storage room above (with a kitchenette and wc in need of some renovation).
