DESCRIPTION

This distinguished country residence, immediately adjacent to open countryside, has been the subject of a major programme of extension and refurbishment carried out by the present owners in residence - combining traditional character with contemporary specification and styling. Lofty ceiling heights and generously proportioned rooms typify the appeal of this marvellous home, a focal point of which is the stunning kitchen/family room with bi-fold doors opening onto a sunny south facing terrace. The room features granite worksurfaces and island, Miele appliances, Zip tap and wine cooler, AtmosphericZone lighting and underfloor heating. The accommodation is laid out over 3 floors, with 6 bedrooms including a breathtaking Master Suite incorporating Dressing Room and a luxurious ensuite Bathroom with 8' shower and Matki screen, Duravit sanitary ware, twin wash hand basins, free standing bath with Vado tap and HansGrohe fittings. The layout provides an opportunity for guest or self-contained suites, and there is plenty of attic storage space.

Offset to one side of the main residence are 2 self-contained Coach House cottages arranged around a private courtyard and with an attractive clock tower. Each provides the opportunity for annexe accommodation, home office or studio, or games room. Each has been fitted to a high standard in keeping with the refurbishment of the main residence.

Outside, the property is approached over a broad driveway with plenty of space for vehicular parking and steps leading up to an imposing porch. The gardens and grounds surround the property and extend to approximately 1 acre. Sweeping lawns are dotted with specimen planting including acers, yew hedges and shrubs.

The Rookery is situated in an ideal position. Chaldon is an ancient hamlet, high on the North Downs along the historic Pilgrims Way, lying between Bletchingley & Caterham and with a rare semi-rural atmosphere - on the fringes of open rolling Surrey countryside but also within a short drive of local amenities.

For the international traveller, London (Gatwick) Airport lies to the south.
