First time on the market in over 30 years, Forest Lodge is a rare family home set within Forestry England’s Mountain Wood. Light-filled, extended former forester’s cottage character meets substantial family space across about 3,426 sq ft and roughly 0.7 acres of fully fenced gardens that flow directly into ancient woodland. A triple-aspect lounge, separate art/office room and flexible reception spaces give plenty of room for family life and home-working.
The first floor hosts a large master suite with ensuite, three further good-sized bedrooms, a smaller bedroom and a top-floor fifth bedroom with eaves storage, while the ground floor offers a generous kitchen-diner with utility and useful adaptable rooms. Outside there is a sunny veranda, established flower beds and an attractive oak-framed barn with two storage rooms above and obvious annexe potential (subject to planning).
This location is a standout: peaceful seclusion in the Surrey Hills AONB yet within easy reach of East Horsley village amenities, respected local schools and rail links to London. The large driveway provides ample parking for multiple vehicles and the secure plot offers privacy and direct woodland access — ideal for families who value outdoor space and countryside living.
Factually, the house will suit buyers looking to retain its character while updating services and insulation. Heating is oil-fired to radiators; glazing was installed before 2002 and the original granite walls are assumed uninsulated. There is no mobile signal on site and council tax is described as quite expensive. The barn conversion would require planning consent (STP).
