A MAGNIFICENT SINGLE-STOREY RESIDENCE COMBINING STRIKING CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE WITH EXCEPTIONAL ENERGY EFFICIENCY, SET IN APPROXIMATELY 1.28 ACRES IN A GLORIOUS SURREY HILLS SETTING ........

Deerswood is a magnificent single-storey residence which our clients have comprehensively refurbished and extended to a fastidious standard of finish, with considerable attention also given to energy efficiency and sustainability. The property occupies a truly outstanding position within the Surrey Hills, enjoying fine views across its south-westerly facing rear garden and the surrounding countryside.

The architecture is both striking and contemporary, with great attention given to the configuration, flow and natural light throughout the accommodation. A wonderful entrance hall provides an impressive introduction, with a cloakroom and utility room leading off. At the heart of the house is the exceptional kitchen/dining room, which flows seamlessly through to the magnificent sitting room, creating a quite remarkable open-plan living space. Extensive glazing, rooflights and wide sliding doors flood the accommodation with natural light and open directly onto the terraces, creating a wonderful sense of connection between the house, gardens and surrounding countryside.
From the sitting room there is access to a cosy snug, whilst the inner hall leads through to the bedroom accommodation, which comprises an impressive principal bedroom suite with sliding doors opening onto the sun terrace, a dressing room and luxurious en-suite facilities.

There are four further bedrooms, served by two beautifully appointed shower rooms. A particularly notable feature of Deerswood is the considerable attention given to its energy efficiency. Since 2020, the house has undergone an extensive programme of improvements including comprehensive insulation, an air-source heat pump serving wet underfloor heating, solar panels with battery storage, an EV charging point and a 5,000-litre rainwater harvesting system. The property currently holds an impressive EPC rating of B (90).

Outside, a combination of stone and raised decked terraces takes full advantage of the property's elevated position and provides a wonderful outlook over the delightful grounds. The gardens enjoy an extraordinary degree of privacy and seclusion and are predominantly laid to lawn, complemented by established borders containing a variety of plants, shrubs and specimen trees, together with an area of woodland. There is also a detached garden studio.
