Dunsfold, Knightons Lane, Godalming, 5 Bedroom Detached, Cranleigh

Sprunks Cottage is a charming country house, that is believed to date back to the middle of the 18th century. Our clients have tastefully and sympathetically upgraded and extended about 8 years ago.Whilst the house has undergone significant changes, much of the character has been retained in the original cottage and of note is the lovely inglenook fireplace in the sitting room. Underfloor heating extends through the ground floor, under a combination of clay tiles in the reception rooms, limestone tiles in the kitchen/breakfast room and oak in the family room.The focal point is the substantial kitchen/ breakfast room that has an outlook straight down the gardens, an electric Aga with a module and Shaker style units with wooden work surfaces. Extending off this is the family room with a triple aspect and again, a lovely outlook.On the first floor is a good balance of bedrooms and bathrooms, with the bedrooms all enjoying a country outlook.OutbuildingsAdjacent to the house is a barn style double garage. Located outside of the formal gardens is the ancillary cottage comprising a reception room with a kitchenette, a bedroom and shower room. We are advised by our clients that this was converted in 2011.After the brochure was printed, the rear section of the poultry/former quail barn has collapsed. In addition there is a quadruple garage, a single garage and a log barn.Garden and groundsThe property is approached through double gates into a gravelled driveway that fronts the barn style garaging. Adjacent to this is a Hornbeam hedge with lawns beyond to the front of the cottage. A brick and paved pathway extends around to the substantial terrace at the rear, with brick retaining walls and flower beds. Extending away is a wide expanse of lawn with a central well and to one side a productive fruit and vegetable garden. Access through a gate leads to a paddock area which is where the ancillary cottage and outbuildings are located. Beyond this is a further paddock area with a light copse.Planning PermissionPlanning permission was granted by Waverley Borough Council on 1st October 2024 (ref: WA/2024/01404), for an extension to the rear of the utility room to relocate the existing cloakroom and the provision of an open porch structure.Property InformationServices:We are advised by our clients that the property has mains water, electricity, private drainage and oil-fired central heating.
