Plough Lane, Ewhurst, Cranleigh, Surrey, GU6

A charming and substantial 1930’s 4387 sq. ft. period family home with six bedrooms, four bathrooms and superb reception space. Positioned in a semi-rural position, enjoying 1.28 acres of grounds.

Shangani is a charming 1930’s detached family home beautifully positioned along a leafy semi-rural lane on the edge of Ewhurst village, surrounded by open countryside and the glorious Surrey Hills.

Tucked away behind a mature high laurel hedgerow, the driveway opens to reveal this beautiful home. With red brick lower elevations and clay tile hung frontage, the period detail
creates a wonderful sense of arrival.

The double doors of the entrance porch welcome you into a modern, broad and spacious reception hall with limestone flooring and a superb vista at the end of the hall through to the drawing room and gardens beyond.

The main drawing room has a large, centralised fireplace with a wood-burning stove, side doors to the garden terrace and a super full-width curved bay window drinking in the views of
the gardens beyond.

The kitchen/breakfast room is an impressive size, separated by a generous breakfast bar area. A large array of eye and base level units finished with a modern and contemporary gloss surface provides ample storage, with a walk-in pantry
and a host of display cabinets. The 4 oven gas Aga with power flue adds a touch of country charm, a separate cooking station with a double electric Bosch oven, Bosch warming draw, Integrated AEG microwave, induction hob and extractor all provide alternative cooking facilities. With ample space for a family breakfast table and doors to the garden, this wonderful kitchen is the hub of the house.

Leading from the breakfast area of the kitchen is a generous dining room with rear and side patio doors which, when opened fully, give an inside-outside feel. Also leading from the kitchen is a family/media room with a full length of fitted cabinets and a media wall with recessed and lit display shelves. Double internal doors then open to a snug or second office.

Also on the ground floor is a well-appointed study, with bespoke cabinetry, shelving and wine storage. The laundry/utility room again has a wide range of fitted cupboards, secondary built-in tall freezer and fridge units, a cloakroom and a side entrance door.

Of note, and rarely found, is a full-sized mobility lift to the first floor. Accessed from the reception hall, and discreetly hidden behind a mirrored door, the elevator goes up to the first-floor landing.

The principal bedroom is simply splendid with high ceilings, triple aspect windows and French doors leading out to a private balcony. A long wall of four double wardrobes has been expertly fitted, and a full modern ensuite bathroom with a separate walk-in shower completes this excellent suite.

A guest suite with fitted storage and an ensuite bathroom is further along the landing. Also on this level are two further double bedrooms, a shower room and a separate W.C. Leading from bedroom three is a large balcony which enjoys some fabulous views.

The second floor hosts two further double bedrooms and a bathroom.

Across the rear of the house is an elevated garden terrace area. With a southerly aspect, this is a wonderful sun trap and looks down across the lawn gardens. Situated toward the rear of the garden is a stable block consisting of three boxes.
The stable block has partially been repurposed and is being used as a machinery store/workshop, a home gym, and a fun den room with a bar and space for seating. A side door leads from the den to the secondary garden patio for those summer BBQ’s and gatherings.

Behind a post and rail fence line, the paddock measures approx. 0.79 acres, and is fully enclosed with fencing and a wooded boundary.

Sitting at the foot of the Surrey Hills, the property is situated to the south of the village of Ewhurst adjacent to the renowned Hurtwood Polo and Country Club.
