Smithwood Farmhouse

A charming Grade II Listed period farmhouse, believed to date back to the late 14th Century, with 16th Century barn, all set within 2.56 acres on Smithwood Common, on the outskirts of popular Cranleigh village.

Smithwood Farmhouse is delightfully situated on Smithwood Common, adjoining miles of common land and close to Winterfold Forest and The Hurtwood, providing excellent riding, walking and mountain bike trails. Cranleigh’s bustling High Street is less than two miles away with its supermarkets, including Marks & Spencers Food Hall and Sainsbury’s, restaurants, coffee shops, butchers, fish mongers, many other shops and a weekly market on Thursdays. Cranleigh has thriving cricket, football and rugby clubs, a Leisure Centre and a golf and country club. There are many schools in the vicinity, including Cranleigh School. The county town of Guildford, with its main line station and regular commuter service to Waterloo is seven miles away.

The house is believed to date back to the late 14th Century and was probably built as a four-bay medieval hall house. There were changes in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and it was, at one time, divided into three cottages, and then two until the 1960’s. It was extended and modernised in 2009, when the conservatory was added and the laundry/utility room was built in 2017. There are exposed timbers and many fine features of its period throughout the five bedrooms, three bathrooms and four reception rooms, with the large conservatory adding a bright contrast. There is a 16th Century barn with stone flooring and under floor heating, ideal as a party venue. Adjoining the barn is a three bay garage and a lean to store. There is a further open ended barn in the garden and a garden store nearer to the house. Smithwood Farmhouse provides charming, varied and fascinating living spaces, all modernised and presented beautifully.
