About this property
A magnificent six bedroom thatched period home in a rural setting with an inglenook fireplace and beautiful gardens with a swimming pool, stables and tennis court. Set in approximately 2 acres (0.81 ha) and part dating back to 1412, with adjoining 4.6 acre field (1.86 ha).
Dormers is a Grade II listed thatched family home, which is set in approximately 6 acres of land. The property is steeped in history and character with a number of sympathetic improvements over the current owner’s time at the property.
Previous owners have added to the original house, which dates back to 1412, with additions in the 1900’s to form a spacious family home which enjoys views over the garden, tennis court and swimming pool.
Many original features have been retained to ensure the character of the property has not been lost with the more modern spacious additions. The property has enjoyed a long history having connections with E H Shepard, the renowned illustrator of ‘Winnie the Pooh’ books who lived at Dormers. Local records include recollections of parties with renowned guests such as Rudyard Kipling amongst others.
The property is arranged over two floors with the primary rooms looking directly over the gardens. A spacious sitting room with Inglenook fireplace, study and dining room offer ideal entertaining space, whilst the kitchen and family room provide an opportunity for more modern living. From the kitchen you have access to a lovely patio with a covered dining area which can be used all year round.
The ground floor includes a utility room and downstairs cloakroom. To the first floor, there are six bedrooms and two bathrooms with fantastic views.
Outside
Dormers sits nestled within breathtaking grounds and gardens with private gravel driveway having detached garaging and off-road parking for several vehicles. The outbuildings include the original groom’s cottage and stables all with power making this Charlwood home appealing to equestrian families. Bordered by hedging, mature shrubs and trees the expansive lawns wrap-around the property giving an undeniable English country garden feel. A vegetable garden is an added bonus for budding gardeners, and a blissful outdoor swimming pool and tennis court are first class finishing touches.
