Set within about 2.3 acres in the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Mountfield is a substantial six-bedroom detached house with wide-ranging outdoor amenities and exceptional privacy. The house sits in an elevated, secluded position amid mature trees and formal gardens, with two ponds, a tennis court, summer house and an outdoor swimming pool — strong assets for family life and entertaining.
Internally the home offers multiple reception rooms (drawing room, sitting room, dining room and a study), a kitchen/breakfast room with utility, principal suite with dressing room and en suite, a guest suite with en suite shower, plus four further bedrooms and family bathroom. A galleried landing leads to a roof terrace, and a barn-style double garage with wc and a large gravel drive provides ample parking. There is clear potential to modernise and extend, subject to planning consent.
Important practical points: the property has an EPC rating of E and uses electric-based heating (air source heat pump and warm air), broadband speeds in the area are slow, and council tax is described as very expensive. These factors affect running costs and may require upgrading. The house dates from c.1930–1949 and, while well kept, will suit buyers prepared to invest in modernisation to optimise energy performance and technology.
This is a rare countryside opportunity for an established family seeking space, privacy and outdoor facilities within easy reach of reputable local schools. Investors or buyers wanting a turnkey modern home should budget for energy efficiency improvements, broadband upgrades and potential renovation works to fully realise the property’s potential.
