Location

Glebe House is an outstanding country house in the centre of one of Surrey's most sought after villages. It occupies a very special position, approached by a winding driveway and sits in the centre of its land, surrounded by beautiful gardens, organised as a series of "rooms" to provide interest throughout the year.

Description

This stunning Grade II listed house, with origins dating back to the 16th century, is a fine example of English heritage. While the property retains important historical elements, its most striking feature is the Georgian façade.

Offering an exceptional blend of the traditional and contemporary Glebe House has a wealth of original features. Indeed there are many period characteristics typical of its era, including high ceilings, fabulous Georgian floor to ceiling windows, ornate cornicing and fireplaces throughout.

The house flows beautifully through a welcoming reception hall connecting all the principal rooms and in turn they are particularly distinguished. The double-aspect drawing room boasts an elegant marble fireplace, while a magnificent games room is adorned with exquisite panelling. To the rear of the house, the Ian Adam Smith designed kitchen/family room with vaulted oak-beamed ceiling , is ideally suited to modern family life and adjoins a bright and spacious dining room with beautiful views of the gardens.

The bedroom accommodation is thoughtfully laid out and offers flexibility with the opportunity for flexibility, with the superb principal suite comprising a bathroom and separate shower room. Six further bedrooms are arranged
across the first and second floors - one with an adjoining study area - supported by three additional bathrooms and a separate cloakroom.

There are excellent secondary accommodation options with a two bedroom cottage, complete with private garden and a two bedroom flat above the extensive garaging.

The gardens and grounds are a standout feature of Glebe House, having undergone an extensive restoration programme to reach their current immaculate condition. Beautifully designed and maintained, they offer a variety of exceptional spaces.
The swimming pool area, facing southwest, is a particular highlight - a true suntrap. Adjacent to the pool is the striking orangery, perfect for seamless indoor/outdoor entertaining. It also houses a bar, changing rooms, kitchenette, and a WC for added convenience.

The grounds further include a astro turfed tennis court, a charming rose garden, and a croquet lawn.
Just outside the rear door lies a generous vegetable garden, flourishing during the summer months. Throughout the gardens, thoughtful planting has been carefully curated to create a unique and enchanting atmosphere in every corner. There is an irrigation system in place for the beds.

Beyond the formal gardens, there is a large paddock currently planted as an arboretum, featuring a mix of native and exotic trees.

In total, the gardens and grounds extend to approximately 5 acres.
