In a lakeside setting next door to the owner's home, this elegant detached house is an ideal retreat for family groups. Dating back in part to both Georgian and Dickens era, it has since been extended to provide extremely spacious accommodation. It has lovely features such as an ornamental inglenook fire surround, tiled kitchen floor and high ceilings in keeping with the era. The lake opposite offers good on-site fishing, or a spot of wine tasting can be enjoyed at the local vineyards. The pretty village of Godstone is about 2 miles distant, with Caterham also nearby.
