PROPERTY PROFILE
Stepping into Englefield is an absolute delight, through the solid wood, curved topped, front door into the magnificent dining hall. It is a feast on the senses with its traditional wood floors, high beamed ceilings, bay window, log fire and very impressive wood panelled staircase with intricate spindles leading to the first floor. The double aspect drawing room with its bay window has a beautiful open fire with wood mantelpiece and brass surround, and ornamental shelving either side of the chimney breast.
While the kitchen has been modernised over time it still retains the original kitchen dresser and, as the house was built for a man of gentry, has a fully functioning call bell system in each room of the house with the home unit located above the kitchen door. (Watch out parents if you have children).
The house was originally built for the Rev. George Allen, Headmaster of Cranleigh School in 1902. Having had just five owners in 100 years, the property now comes to the market for the first time in 40 years. The property is perfectly proportioned both visually and structurally, with twin gables over the four bay windows, top and bottom. Internally there are three excellent reception rooms, kitchen and utility as well as an attached annex housing a further bedroom, bathroom and kitchen with independent access. Upstairs there are four bedrooms and two bathrooms (one en-suite).
The hallway naturally flows to the family end of the house, following the exposed floor boards to the family room, a lovely and bright room with an open fire, overlooking the garden.
The property is accessed through double gates off Bridge Road where there is ample parking on the gravel drive with a turning circle and leading to the garage. The superb gardens are another highlight of this wonderful home.
LOCATION
There is a private and secluded 'courtyard' area adjacent to the annex, enclosed by hedging and a characterful wall, which provides the perfect environment for al-fresco entertaining. The garden has been regularly maintained by professional gardeners.
Situated in a popular and sought-after road on the edge of Cranleigh village with its health centre, library, leisure centre and arts centre plus comprehensive range of shops including butcher, fishmonger, M&S 'Simply Food', two supermarkets and a wide range of independent retailers.

Attractive flower bordered pathways meander through the lawns providing delightful aspects of this handsome home.
