Wrotham House, Knightons Lane, Godalming, GU8 4AU

A beautifully designed, energy-efficient four-bedroom country home set within approximately 13 acres of bluebell woodland, offering light-filled contemporary living, elegant reception spaces and exceptional privacy in a semi-rural setting.

Wrotham House is a newly completed, architect-designed home, thoughtfully created by a local architect on land long held by a local family.

It has been carefully designed to sit harmoniously within its beautiful rural surroundings, combining traditional materials-such as extensive oak-with modern, energy-efficient technology, including underfloor heating throughout via an air source heat pump and a mechanical ventilation and heat recovery system.

Approached via a gated gravel driveway, an oak-framed porch leads into a welcoming central reception hall, setting the tone for the light, bright and well-balanced accommodation.

To the front, a generous family room features a bay window enjoying an easterly aspect.

To the rear, the drawing room provides a more formal reception space, centred around a contemporary chimney breast with a built-in glass-fronted fire and minimal hearth, creating a sleek focal point.

Full-height glazed bi-fold doors open directly onto the garden, complemented by additional windows that enhance the natural light and outlook.

A particular highlight is the impressive open-plan Laura Ashley fitted kitchen/dining/family space, designed with a strong emphasis on light and flow.

The bespoke kitchen is arranged around a central island with pendant lighting above, offering both preparation space and informal seating.

Large-format tiled flooring and a soft neutral palette enhance the sense of space, while a wall of bi-fold doors spans the rear elevation, opening onto the terrace and creating an excellent indoor-outdoor connection.

A well-appointed utility room is positioned just off the kitchen with external access.

The first floor continues the sense of light and space, with a generous landing leading to four well-proportioned bedroom suites.

The principal bedroom is particularly striking, featuring a vaulted ceiling with rooflights that flood the room with natural light, creating a calm and airy retreat.

The en-suite is elegantly finished, with a freestanding bath, walk-in shower and twin basins. Three further double bedrooms, all with en-suite facilities, complete the accommodation.

Planning permission has previously been granted for the creation of a second floor to provide a fifth bedroom suite, subject to the usual consents.

The lower ground floor offers excellent additional space, including a media room, games room or home office, along with a dedicated plant room.

Outside, the property enjoys a wonderfully private and peaceful woodland setting.

A terrace to the rear provides an ideal space for entertaining and leads onto a level area of lawn, beyond which the grounds extend into established woodland.

In the spring, the woodland is carpeted with bluebells, while a network of pathways allows for enjoyable walks throughout the year.

In all, the gardens and woodland extend to approximately 13 acres, offering a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty and lifestyle appeal.
