    About this property

    • Occupying a prominent position in the historic Surrey village of Charlwood, Charlwood Place Farm is a Grade II listed farmhouse of considerable character and heritage, presenting a rare opportunity to restore and modernise a substantial period home set in about one acre.

      Approached from the village High Street via either a pedestrian gate or a traditional five bar gate, the property conveys historic charm. The picturesque tile hung elevations, exposed timber beams and wealth of original period features combine to create a home of exceptional character extending to over 3,000 sq ft.

      The accommodation is centred around a number of elegant reception rooms, including a particularly impressive sitting room featuring a magnificent inglenook fireplace with an exceptional beehive chimney, a striking reminder of the farmhouse's rich architectural history. The library is equally appealing, benefiting from attractive timber panelling and a refined period fireplace. The entrance hall has original brick flooring.

      The kitchen area offers excellent potential for reconfiguration and refurbishment, currently comprising a traditional Rayburn cooker, larder, boot room and separate utility room. With two independent accesses to the garden, the layout lends itself particularly well to modern family living whilst retaining the property's historic integrity. Two coal sheds are accessed from the outside. Throughout the house, a variety of original features have been preserved, offering an ideal foundation for sympathetic modernisation. The property benefits from mains services, and the roof was replaced in 2008.

      Outside, the house is complemented by formal front gardens, an orchard and ample parking. A large brick built garage is situated adjacent to the house. The property benefits from a water well, located in the orchard.

      In addition, approximately five acres of land with separate access from Lowfield Heath Road, together with a collection of historic outbuildings extending to approximately 5,000 sq ft, are available by separate negotiation. These buildings offer significant appeal for a variety of uses, subject to any necessary consents.

      Charlwood Place Farm represents a rare opportunity to acquire a historically significant village house of immense charm and potential in one of Surrey's popular rural communities. Combining period authenticity, generous accommodation and exciting scope for enhancement, it is a property of exceptional appeal..
