Hunts, 80, The Street, Horley, RH6 0DS

Hunts; a fine example of our English heritage and once the butchery and cobblers in this historic Surrey village has been considerately refurbished to what is now not only a beautifully preserved building but a remarkably practical family home, sitting within grounds of approximately 3/4 acre.

Rich in history, with a magnificent timber frame, impressive chimney stack, containing Charlwood stone, and unique roof structure, Hunts stands proud in the heart of the village.

In all, spanning over 4000 sq ft, which includes a vast loft space, the old farm storage areas which are now a triple garage and workshop areas, the accommodation provides four bedrooms, each with their own character, be it carefully restored, exposed brickwork, or ornate cast iron fireplaces.

Both bathrooms have been refitted, with the main bathroom featuring a freestanding tub and separate shower.

The ground floor accommodation is particularly impressive, with a number of reception rooms, including the study, which was once the cobbler's store, large family/dining room, a well positioned South facing conservatory and the main reception room, which proudly displays the English Listed Building plaque.

The kitchen is highly complimentary to the nature of this property.

With its ample, pastel shaker style units there is the added benefit of an separate utility room and boot room to the rear of the house.

If one room speaks for the property as a whole however, it is the majestic timber frame hall. Double height, this vaulted space is a most characterful room in which to relax.

Outside, a considerable block paved driveway sits beside a mature front garden, all retained behind private gates and with gardens which wrap around to the rear, where there is an expansive lawn and patio terrace.
