8 bedroom country house for sale

Spanning over 6,110 square feet with 1.5 acres of landscaped gardens, High Barn House occupies a rare double-width plot with a spacious driveway, an uncommon feature in this sought-after location. The ground floor boasts a stunning kitchen, dining room, and sitting room, ideal for daily family life and casual entertaining. For more formal occasions, there is an elegant drawing room with doors opening to the south-facing garden, as well as a separate dining room.

The lower ground floor provides versatile accommodation with its own external access. This level includes a large utility room, a shower room, a cinema, and the potential for a wine cellar, as plumbing is already in place.

The first and second floors feature a total of eight generously sized bedrooms and four bathrooms. The luxurious principal suite includes a dressing room and an ensuite bathroom. The second floor has been thoughtfully converted to include a kitchen, two bedrooms, and a bathroom, making it a perfect option for a staff annex, accessed via the back staircase.

Throughout the home, meticulous attention to detail is evident, including an exquisite Italian mural in the downstairs WC and a guest bedroom. The house benefits from beautiful views over the meticulously maintained gardens. Set on approximately 1.5 acres, the garden is unusually large for the area and primarily laid to lawn, with three terraces perfect for enjoying summer sunshine.

High Barn House is situated in one of Surrey’s most desirable villages. The surrounding countryside, protected by the green belt and designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is renowned for its walking and riding trails. Residents of this home have direct access to Effingham Golf Course. Despite its rural and private setting, Effingham offers convenient access to Cobham, Dorking, Guildford, and London. The village provides local amenities, including shops, two public houses, a church, and a mainline train service to London Waterloo.

There is an excellent selection of private and state schools in the vicinity, including St Teresa’s, Manor House, Cranmore, and The Howard of Effingham School, for which the property falls within the catchment area. Golf enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to Effingham Golf Course, accessible directly from the garden.
