Set well back from the lane and surrounded by mature trees, Forest Lodge is a handsome 1924 red-brick house that sits in an exceptionally private Surrey Hills position. The ground floor flows from a high-quality kitchen/breakfast room into a modern glass sun room and long raised terrace, giving uninterrupted southerly and westerly views over the extensive garden and woodland beyond.
Accommodation is arranged over two floors with a generous sitting room, separate dining room, utility, cloakroom and fitted log burner on the ground floor. Upstairs the principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and a tiled en‑suite shower, with three further bedrooms (one suitable as a study) and a family bathroom. The house has been well cared for and sensitively improved, yet still offers scope for updating in areas to match contemporary tastes.
Outside the plot is a major asset: a very large garden, long driveway with turning circle, ample parking and a detached double garage with inspection pit, light, power and workshop bench. There is also a substantial wood store/garden outbuilding. Double glazing was installed post‑2002 and broadband speeds are fast, though there is no mobile signal on site.
Practical points: the home uses oil-fired central heating (private supply) and dates from the 1920s, so there will be ongoing maintenance and running costs; council tax is noted as quite expensive. For buyers seeking privacy, landscape potential and easy access to top independent schools and countryside walks, this property offers rare scope on a large Surrey plot.
