Description
Rycotewood Barn is a substantial, partly converted red-brick barn in a rural setting between Alfold and Cranleigh. It forms part of a collection of traditional farm buildings and offers scope to create a characterful, well-proportioned family home with far-reaching countryside views.
The property is approached over a long driveway, shared with neighbouring properties, which leads to its own private drive and courtyard. It comes with a garden, and further land is available subject to price.
The building currently provides open-sided barn storage, a garage and a studio or annexe. The annexe has a sitting room/bedroom and a large bathroom with a bath and separate shower.
Waverley Borough Council has granted planning permission (reference WA/2023/01647) to convert the building into a spacious family home. The approved scheme keeps the existing footprint and creates four bedrooms, four bathrooms and an open-plan vaulted kitchen and family room. The main living spaces are designed to make the most of the views across the surrounding countryside.
The property sits in a rural location just outside the small village of Alfold, moments from Cranleigh. Cranleigh has a good range of everyday amenities, including high street shops, a leisure centre, a community hospital and a choice of schools. These include several primary schools, Glebelands School for secondary education and the independent Cranleigh School.
Guildford, Godalming and Horsham are all within 10 miles and offer a wealth of shopping, leisure and cultural facilities. There are excellent road links to Guildford, Brighton, Gatwick Airport and the M25.
For recreation, Slinfold Golf & Country Club and Horsham Sports Club are nearby, and there is plenty of walking and hiking in the surrounding countryside.
Prospective purchasers should make their own enquiries of the local planning authority. The asking price is for the barn with planning permission, not a finished home.
The AI video and images marked as CGI/AI are computer-generated visualisations of the proposed scheme, based on the approved plans, and are for indicative and marketing purposes only. They do not represent the property in its current condition, and the finished development may differ. Buyers should rely on their own inspections and investigations and should verify the planning consent with Waverley Borough Council (ref: WA/2023/01647). Any proposed alterations or improvements beyond the approved scheme may be subject to the necessary consents.
