The property features black railings and off-white painted doors to match the contrasting scheme found throughout the farmhouse. On the second floor, a light cream carpet is laid out, in harmony with the light walls.

“Shere is a very popular village. This property is on the outskirts of the village but still close enough.
“The owners live there for about five years, but in neighboring houses people live for 20-30 years, such houses do not often change hands.
“It’s on the edge of Winterfold, in a wooded area with a network of footpaths all around you.
“Most of the land surrounding the hills is the lands of Albury Heath and the estates of Cher, known as Hurtwood. There are about 3,000 acres of woodland and wasteland that are open to the public and great for walking, horseback riding and biking.”
