SituationEntirely surrounded by its own extensive and beautifully landscaped gardens, Knightons benefits from a most attractive elevated situation with distant southerly views. Located towards the end of a quiet country lane, the property enjoys a uniquely tranquil and delightfully private location without being in any sense isolated as local services and communications are conveniently nearby.
The ancient community of Dunsfold with its village shop and post office, public house, cricket green, duck-pond and 12th century church really is the archetypal English village. It also benefits from a vibrant 21st century community as can be seen from the village website (www.dunsfold.org).
Cranleigh with its excellent selection of local shops and services is also within easy reach. These include supermarkets, banks, medical centre and hospital, churches, restaurants, public houses, art centre and a popular weekly market. A more extensive range of shopping, leisure and cultural amenities is to be found at Guildford and Horsham where there are also main line stations offering fast and frequent services to London.
The local road network provides ready access to the many pretty villages in the area as well as major routes for access to London, neighbouring towns, the airports and the national motorways.
Local schools include Charterhouse, Cranleigh, St Catherine’s, Longacre, Barrow Hills, King Edwards,Duke of Kent and Hurtwood House among many others. Recreational opportunities include golf at several local clubs, Cranleigh’s own Sport and Leisure centre, polo at Ewhurst, racing at Epsom and Sandown Park and country sports at a number of local venues. In addition, the surrounding countryside offers excellent walking and riding. About 20 miles to the south, Goodwood estate offersracing, golf, flying and the renowned Festival of Speed and Revival meetings whilst on the doorstep the annual Dunsfold Wings and Wheels is a popular event.
DescriptionOriginally a hunting lodge about a day’s ride from London, and built in the style of a London merchant’s house, Knightons is a gracious, Grade II listed Regency country house at the edge of the village. The imposing facade with square portico and parapet roof was built around 1815 on the site of a much older cottage incorporated into the house. Together with the cottages and farm buildings that comprise this small estate, the house has been well maintained and sympathetically restored to provide a comfortable, spacious and stylish home ideally suited to both entertaining and relaxed family living.
The interiors retain classic Regency period characteristics: high, decorative cornicing and Adam style fireplaces, together with full height sash windows that allow light to flood into the elegant reception rooms. French doors from the kitchen lead onto a raised south facing paved terrace and the vine covered pergola provides the perfect spot to enjoy the view.
First floor accommodation comprises a spacious master suite, four further bedrooms and four bathrooms most of which benefit from distant rural views. A former cellar has been imaginatively converted to provide two further bedrooms, shower room, laundry and wine store.
The accommodation of Knightons is well laid out and is illustrated on the floor plans included in this brochure.

Further AccommodationTo the east of the main house are three cottages, thoughtfully converted over a period of time from former farm buildings and the coach house. These are currently arranged as a four bedroom house, a three bedroom house and a one bedroom housekeeper’s cottage, together with a studio and an office.
The configuration of these buildings is highly flexible and could serve a number of purposes for extended family, staff or leisure. Alternatively there is the potential for significant letting income on the cottages and farm buildings.
EquestrianBeyond the formal and walled gardens is an enclosed concrete stable yard and timber block, providing two loose boxes, tack room and workshop/store. There is a large modern agricultural barn, two all-weather schools, fenced paddocks and a field shelter. Planning permission exists to erect an additional 24m x 16m barn if required. Planning ref: WA/2017/0486.

Gardens and GroundsThe gardens are a key feature of this property having been lovingly laid out and maintained over many years.
Knightons is approached from the lane via automatic double five-bar gates opening onto a long sweeping gravel drive to the main forecourt with ample space for turning and parking.
The drive continues round the house to the rear courtyard and further extensive parking. A second drive provides the usual exit route. Lying mainly to the south and west of the house the formal gardens are laid to lawn with a magnificent Cedar tree in front. Meticulously tended borders brim with a wide variety ornamental trees and shrubs for year-round colour and interest.
Numerous mature trees provide a multi-hued backdrop as well as a high level of privacy and seclusion. Close to the house the heated swimming pool area is ideal for those summer barbecues or quiet relaxation. There is a hard surfaced tennis court and outdoor riding school adjacent to the walled kitchen garden.
Beyond the formal gardens there is a well-tended walled vegetable garden with an original Victorian peach house along the outside south-facing wall.
Away from the formal gardens and grounds the land is divided into fenced paddocks, which in the south slope down to a natural lake near the southern boundary.
In all about 55 acres (22.66 ha).
ServicesMain water and electricity. Dual control electric AGA and central heating (part under-floor). Private drainage.
