Malricks, The Street, Ewhurst, GU6 7RH

Set in the beautiful village of Ewhurst, at the foot of the Surrey Hills and within easy walking distance of the village shop and school, this four-bedroom home offers a rare opportunity to create something truly special.

Originally built in 1980, to a high specification, the house retains many of the distinctive features and ideas of its era and is now ready for a new family to bring it up to date and put their own stamp on it.

With over 2000sqft of accommodation (including the integral garage), a fantastic plot of just over half an acre and plenty of parking, there is enormous potential here to create a wonderful family home in an idyllic village setting.

The layout reflects the thought that went into the original design.

The kitchen was positioned centrally so that the owner could look through to both the dining area and sitting room, creating a sociable connection between the spaces.

The sitting room is a good size, with patio doors opening directly onto the private rear garden - a lovely connection to the outdoor space.

The tucked away utility room has access to the garden and is adjacent to the useful downstairs toilet.

There are some wonderfully quirky details, including a laundry chute and a sunken bath, adding character and a real sense of the home's original personality.

The large multi-pane window floods light on the stairs and landing and provides a lovely outlook over the garden. The bedrooms offer excellent flexibility.

Three of the bedrooms are large doubles, with one ensuite. There is flexibility to create further ensuites.

The single bedroom with shower has an adjoining room which was originally created as a sewing room.

Today, this could make an excellent office, hobby room or dressing room, or the dividing wall could potentially be removed to create a larger bedroom, subject of course to any necessary consents.

Each of the bedrooms has its own basin. The property was successfully run as a B&B for many years, making excellent use of this versatile accommodation.

Outside It is the garden and grounds that really set this property apart.

Extending to 0.68 acres, the plot combines areas of lawn with established planting, a woodland area and a productive collection of greenhouses and vegtable patches, which have been much-loved and well used by the current owner.

The woodland provides a wonderful natural space for children to explore, perhaps with a swing or trampoline tucked amongst the trees, or simply somewhere to enjoy watching wildlife and escape into a little peace and quiet.

There is a cart shed that would be ideal as a workshop, double garage and ample driveway parking, providing plenty of useful storage and space for family life.

The driveway is owned by this property, and a neighbour has access over the main drive to reach their property.

This property has, and continues to be a lovely family home, but offers so much potential for someone who can see beyond the cosmetic updating and appreciate what is already here: A generous family house, an exceptional garden, useful outbuildings and a wonderful village location.

Ewhurst has a strong sense of village community, with a village shop providing everyday essentials, the popular Bull’s Head pub, a primary school and pre-school, two churches and a village hall hosting a variety of local activities and events.

The village also has a recreation ground with sporting facilities, including tennis courts and football pitches, while numerous clubs and societies add to the community feel.

Surrounded by beautiful Surrey Hills countryside, there are plenty of footpaths and bridleways nearby, yet Cranleigh is only around two miles away and Horsham is within easy reach, both provid a choice of shopping, dining and leisure facilities.

With vision, there is the opportunity to create a beautiful, individual home that works perfectly for modern family life - while retaining some of the quirky and characterful features that make this house different.
