Property

East Horsley

Rich in history and full of character, Rowbarns Cottage is an exceptional Grade II listed home occupying a secluded position within one of Surrey's most sought-after villages. Originally built in 1861 under the patronage of William King, 1st Earl of Lovelace, the property is a fine example of the architectural style for which the area is renowned, with attractive flint elevations and period detailing throughout.

The house has evolved sympathetically over time to provide beautifully balanced accommodation that suits modern family life while preserving its historic charm. The kitchen forms the heart of the home, opening into a striking vaulted dining space that creates an impressive setting for entertaining and everyday living alike. Additional reception areas include a welcoming sitting room, a separate family room, and a bright conservatory overlooking the gardens.

Period features such as exposed timbers, fireplaces, and dual-aspect rooms combine with thoughtful updates to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Practical additions include a utility room and well-appointed bathroom facilities, while upstairs three generous double bedrooms offer attractive outlooks and excellent natural light.

Outside, mature landscaped gardens provide a peaceful retreat, enclosed by traditional brick and flint walls that enhance both privacy and character. A detached double garage is complemented by a versatile loft room above, ideal for home working, creative pursuits, or guest overflow accommodation, together with the convenience of a ground-floor shower room.

Enjoying a semi-rural setting on the doorstep of the Surrey Hills, Rowbarns Cottage offers direct access to miles of countryside walks, bridleways, and cycling routes, yet remains within easy reach of East Horsley village centre and its mainline station, making it perfectly placed for both country living and commuting.
