Description

Stream Manor is a historic family home dating back to the 1600s and has been thoughtfully extended, reconfigured, and modernised over the years, all while preserving its charming historic character.

The accommodation provides generously sized rooms, with an inviting atmosphere, ensuring that there is ample space to live and entertain within splendid interiors. The property offers exceptional accommodation across two floors, perfectly tailored to the needs of the modern family.

The entrance hall sets the tone, showcasing a wealth of period features such as exposed beams, wood panelling, and impressive fireplaces, creating an enchanting atmosphere throughout. Complementing this space is a beautiful old-style bar.

The spacious sitting room, with its handsome inglenook fireplace and roaring open fire, overlooks the garden and provides access to the loggia. The double-aspect dining room also features a notable open fireplace, enhancing the home's historic charm.

An addition to this period home, the family/breakfast room offers a casual dining or living space and is open to the well-fitted kitchen, which boasts a range of cabinets and appliances.
Off the kitchen, there is a walk-in pantry and a laundry/boot room with access to a side courtyard.

Existing consent allows for substantial enlargement of the kitchen/family/breakfast room area along the east side of the building.

Upstairs, the semi-galleried landing leads to the bedroom accommodation. The principal suite incorporates a former fifth bedroom, now serving as a walk-in dressing room, and features a luxury en suite bathroom. Each bedroom has its own unique character and enjoys glorious views of the garden and secluded surroundings. There is an en suite guest bedroom, with two further bedrooms served by a family bathroom.

Planning permission was previously granted to create a two-story extension, including an additional bedroom suite.

The property also benefits from a separate guest cottage. Stream Manor Cottage offers versatile guest accommodation which is completely separate and independent. The cottage comprises a sitting room, kitchen and breakfast room at its heart, with two bedrooms, each with their own bathroom, at either end of this flexible living space. The cottage also features a generously sized separate home office, ideal for working from home. A beautiful courtyard, laid with York stone paving around a pond and surrounded by a Japanese-style garden, complements the entrance to the cottage.

Outside, access to the property is via the main entrance off the public road, through electric wrought-iron gates and over a private bridge. The driveway follows the River Wey up to the main house and leads to a turning circle by the cottage and garage building. On the west side of the garage there is a dog kennel.

The property also benefits from a secondary access with large wooden gates onto Mill Chase Road to the west, ideal for tradesmen and large equestrian vehicles. Tucked away from the public road, the property offers full privacy.

The gardens and grounds are a spectacular feature of the property. The formal lawns immediately to the rear of the main house lead to the entertaining area, which includes a swimming pool and tennis court, both surrounded by mature trees for exceptional privacy.

There is further level expansive area of lawn, large formal flower borders, ornamental yew hedges, and numerous mature and special specimen trees.

West of the cottage area lies an orchard and a large vegetable garden with a small greenhouse, backing on to large fenced paddocks.

The paddock could be suitable for keeping horses or other livestock, or simply a generous play area for children, making it a dream space for those who appreciate a rural lifestyle.
