Guildford Estate AgentsHorsham Estate AgentsBelieved to date to 1915, Brown Eaves offers character features in keeping with its classic vintage and provides well-proportioned, versatile accommodation, within a homely environment. The exposed timber flooring in the reception hall extends across much of the ground floor providing practicality and a pleasing sense of cohesion, with reception rooms comprising a spacious sitting room with French doors linking to the outside and an adjoining formal dining room. Both rooms feature large bay window providing enhanced illumination and an outlook over the rear garden, as well as attractive stone fireplaces. Offering the convivial heart of the home, the kitchen/breakfast and family room provides a relaxed setting, featuring standalone cabinetry and a cream Aga, with ancillary space provided by a utility room and larder. On the first floor, there are five bedrooms, two with bay window alcoves, and three with retained decorative fireplaces. The principal room benefits from access to an en suite shower room, and a family bathroom completes the accommodation on the upper level. A supplemental outbuilding offers a smart, oak-clad space which presents as a vaulted, leisure space with bar area, shower room and mezzanine, and bi-folding doors opening to a decked platform.
Enjoying the seclusion of a tucked-away, leafy setting backing onto Bramley Golf Course, Brown Eaves is approached via high-level electric wooden gates onto a length of gravelled driveway which extends to the frontage of the house and provides parking in addition to the double garaging. An expanse of lawn to the rear is framed by mature shrubs and majestic trees and provides the perfect children’s playground, with paved terracing adjoining the house offering opportunities for outdoor dining and relaxation. Paved stepping stones provide a journey across the lawn to the far margin of the garden where there is a charming, stone-terraced and gravel seating area under the dappled shade of specimen trees. A pathway provides a route to the fully-enclosed tennis court and to the adjoining outbuilding.
The village of Bramley offers a lively High Street, with local amenities including a greengrocer, butcher, public houses and eateries, primary and secondary schooling, with the village hall hosting events and activities. Guildford is within easy reach with its comprehensive shopping, cultural and recreational facilities including The Surrey Sports Park, G Live and the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre. Road-users are able to access the A3 and M25, which link to the national motorway network, Heathrow and Gatwick Airports and southwards to the coastline, whilst commuters are afforded stations at Shalford and Guildford stations for regular services to London Waterloo and Portsmouth. Well-regarded schooling includes Charterhouse, Prior’s Field, St. Catherine’s, Cranleigh, Aldro and St. Hilary’s School.
