Hammer Farm is a late 17th-century Grade II listed farmhouse offering characterful family living on 1.21 acres with far-reaching rural outlooks. The principal rooms retain period features including exposed timber framing, an inglenook fireplace and original Horsham stone roofing, creating an authentic country-house atmosphere. The house provides flexible living space: drawing room, dining room, family room, study, fitted kitchen/breakfast room, and generous first-floor bedrooms including a master with dressing room and en suite.
The plot is a standout asset — mature, largely lawned gardens with wooded boundaries and a double garage provide privacy and scope for outdoor living or sensitive landscaping. Practical advantages include a substantial overall floor area (c.2,764 sq ft), fast broadband and straightforward road links to nearby Cranleigh and Guildford for shops, schools and rail connections.
Important practical considerations are clear: the property’s Grade II listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate modernisation or extension works. Some internal areas show dated decoration and there are signs of historic damp in parts of the living accommodation that will require investigation and repair. Mobile signal is average and the house sits as an isolated hamlet dwelling, so buyers should expect a genuinely rural lifestyle.
This is best suited to buyers seeking an authentic period home with generous grounds who accept conservation constraints: families wanting character and space, or owners prepared to invest in sympathetic refurbishment to unlock further potential.
