DESCRIPTION
An amazing Grade II listed former open hall house, steeped in history and character with excellent ceiling heights, rare for age of property, located on the outskirts of the attractive village of Witley. Set in delightful grounds of circa 2.65 acres, with miles of country walks surrounding, Culmer Farmhouse dates from around 1400 with later additions during the 15th, 16th and 20th centuries. This beautiful and unique property offers well appointed and versatile family accommodation with many fine period features including inglenook fireplaces in the main reception rooms, oak beams, vaulted ceilings and a feature crown post in the main bedroom. The bath and shower rooms have recently been refurbished to an extremely high standard.
Kitchen/breakfast/family room
* The 40ft kitchen/breakfast/family room incorporates an Aga with lovely views over the grounds and direct access to the gardens.
Principle reception room
* The spaciously arranged principle reception rooms are set on the south side of the house and are centred around a large York stone paved terrace, providing a sheltered entertaining area during the Summer.
Master suite
* On the first floor there is a stunning master suite with en-suite bathroom, dressing room and vaulted ceiling, five further double bedrooms and three bathrooms.
OUTSIDE
* To the front, the house is approached via a pair of electrically operated gates leading to the driveway.
Outbuildings
* The main outbuildings include a 70ft timber framed 2 storey garage and barn, with the potential to convert into a separate annexe subject to the necessary consents.
Beautiful grounds
* The beautiful grounds, designed by Gertrude Jekyll, are well established and incorporate a wealth of mature trees, shrubs and plants, providing a high degree of privacy and seclusion. The formal gardens are mainly walled and edged with deep, well stocked borders featuring an array of specimen shrubs, ornamental trees including a magnificent Magnolia, flowering plants, large expanse of lawn and a pretty Lily pond.
Heated swimming pool
* Heated swimming pool set into a paved terrace (gas boiler and filtration units in pool house).
Tennis Court
* Hard tennis court.
Paddock
* Gate leads to separate paddock.
Former granary
* Delightful 2 storey timber framed former granary with electricity which would lend itself to conversion into home office.
SITUATION
* Culmer Farmhouse occupies a convenient position on the outskirts of the village of Witley, some nine miles south of Guildford and only a ten minute walk from Witley train station, with frequent services direct to London Waterloo. There is a local convenience shop for daily needs whilst at nearby Milford there are further local shops and an excellent farm shop.
Godalming
* Godalming offers an even wider range of amenities including shops, churches, banks, restaurants and a sports centre. London commuters have three popular stations nearby at Witley, Milford and Godalming providing fast and regular services to London Waterloo.
Schools

Local area
* The area comprises largely Green Belt with open farmland and managed woodland and is surrounded by the Surrey Hills AONB. Nearby Witley and Milford Commons are owned by the National Trust and offer a range of rural activities and a visitor centre.
Transport links
* Communications are very good with the A283 connecting with the A3 at Milford which in turn joins the M25 at Wisley for access to the airports and the national motorway network.
Recreational opportunities
* Recreational opportunities include golf at a number of clubs within easy reach, sport and leisure centres at Godalming and Cranleigh, fishing at Enton Lakes and miles of open country for walking or riding.
