Off Horsham Road, Walliswood, RH5

A Contemporary Woodland Retreat on the Sussex–Surrey Border Hidden amongst beautiful mature woodland on the Sussex–Surrey border, Milscroft is an exceptional detached home offering contemporary design, energy-efficient living and complete peace and privacy. Originally the site of a weekend retreat for a London banker escaping city life, the setting still delivers the same sense of tranquillity today. Occupying approximately one-third of an acre, the property is surrounded by magnificent mature oak trees, creating a secluded haven where birdsong replaces traffic noise and every window frames a beautiful woodland outlook. Designed with modern lifestyles in mind, the heart of the home is an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living space. A beautifully appointed kitchen with a central island flows effortlessly into generous entertaining areas, while a striking sitting room, complete with a large roof lantern and wide bi-fold doors, is flooded with natural light. Three sets of doors open directly onto an expansive composite wrap around deck, creating a seamless connection between the house and gardens and providing the perfect setting for entertaining, alfresco dining or simply relaxing amongst nature. The accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged to provide the convenience of single-storey living, with all three double bedrooms situated on the ground floor. Upstairs, a versatile additional room (with restricted head height) offers excellent flexibility as a home office, studio, hobbies room or extensive storage space. Outside, the gardens are every bit as impressive as the house itself. Mature trees create complete privacy while providing a wonderful habitat for local wildlife. A separate, fully serviced area of the garden includes an existing outbuilding currently used for storage but offering exciting potential for conversion into a home office, garden studio, summerhouse or even an annexe, subject to the necessary planning permissions. Milscroft also offers several features rarely found in modern homes. A 30-foot private well, fed by an underground stream, already has pipework connected to the house should a future owner wish to utilise it, subject to the appropriate water quality testing. Together with the property's private drainage system, it presents an opportunity for those looking to embrace a more self-sufficient lifestyle. The home has been designed with comfort and efficiency at its core. Heating is provided by an air source heat pump supplying wet underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, with independent zone controls for optimum comfort and efficiency. A Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) system continuously extracts stale air from the kitchen and bathrooms while delivering fresh, filtered air throughout the home, recovering up to 98% of the heat that would otherwise be lost. The system also offers future flexibility, with the ability to integrate air conditioning or additional heating if desired. For electric vehicle owners, the property's main consumer unit is conveniently positioned adjacent to the rear door, making the installation of an EV charging point particularly straightforward. Despite its wonderfully secluded position, Milscroft enjoys easy access to the surrounding villages and market towns, including Horsham, Cranleigh, Dorking and Guildford. Walliswood itself is one of the hidden gems of the Surrey and Sussex countryside, surrounded by miles of scenic footpaths, bridleways and cycling routes, making it an ideal location for those who enjoy an active outdoor lifestyle. Milscroft is much more than a modern detached house. It is a home designed to embrace its surroundings, combining contemporary architecture, sustainable technology and exceptional privacy to create a truly special woodland retreat.
