Treetops - spacious Surrey Hills retreat

'Treetops' – a spacious five-bedroom country house nestled in the Surrey Hills, tucked away behind private gates and surrounded by impressive landscaped gardens and its own private woodland. Sleeping up to 10 guests, with a large well-equipped kitchen, separate dining room and cosy living room with fireplace, it's made for memorable getaways with family and friends.

THE SPACE

The heart of Treetops is its generous, well-equipped kitchen, with plenty of room to cook, chat and spend time together.

Facilities include two Neff electric ovens, an induction hob, KitchenAid, blender, toaster, kettle and bean-to-cup coffee machine. There's an American-style fridge-freezer (with in-built ice machine), as well as a separate wine fridge.

The kitchen has a dining/breakfast area, with a table seating eight and breakfast-bar seating for a further three.

There's also a separate dining room, centred around an impressive antique dining table (seating 10) that's made for long, relaxed meals with family and friends.

The cosy living room features a fireplace with log burner and plenty of comfortable seating, plus a TV with all the usual streaming apps. There's also an integrated Sonos system, so you can enjoy your own music throughout the ground-floor spaces.

We have an office with super-fast fibre broadband, making Treetops equally suitable for longer stays or working remotely.

The house is also equipped with modern, energy-efficient technology including solar panels, solar thermal collectors and a ground-source heat pump.

THE BEDROOMS

Treetops has five bedrooms, sleeping 10 guests:

Bedroom 1: Super King-size bed, private en-suite bathroom and separate dressing room.
Bedroom 2: Double bed and private en-suite bathroom.
Bedroom 3: Double bed.
Bedroom 4: Two twin beds and private en-suite bathroom.
Bedroom 5: Bunk bed.

An additional single bed is available on request, which we can set up in any room for added flexibility / groups of 11.

A travel cot is also available on request.

GARDENS & PRIVATE WOODLAND

Treetops is surrounded by extensive landscaped gardens and it's own private woodland, with room for children and dogs (in particular!) to run around and explore.

It's also a lovely spot for wildlife. On a quiet morning it's not unusual to spot a deer in the woodland, or pheasants strutting about on the back lawn!

At night, impressive external lighting illuminates the trees and gardens, creating a completely different atmosphere after dark.

PARKING

There's private on-site parking for up to six cars.

THE SURREY HILLS

Treetops is ideally placed for exploring the Surrey Hills and the surrounding countryside.

Don’t miss the postcard-perfect village of Shere, famous for its appearance in 'The Holiday' - it includes two welcoming pubs and sweet-shop 'Shere Delights', which our kids can't get enough of!

There's walking and cycling throughout the Surrey Hills, as well as plenty to discover further afield:

Albury Vineyard - wine tasting and tours
Silent Pool Distillers - tours and tastings
Albury Estate Fisheries - fishing
Excellent local golf courses
Wild Wood Adventure - great for families
RHS Garden Wisley - beautiful gardens and seasonal events
Guildford - shopping, restaurants, theatre and nightlife

After a day exploring, come back to Treetops, light the fire and enjoy the space, privacy and tranquillity of your own countryside retreat.

A NOTE ABOUT THE LOCATION

Treetops is genuinely in the countryside, around a 10-minute drive from the nearest village (Shere), or 40 minute walk to the pub - so access to a car is highly recommended. However, we are also bang-slap in the middle of the Surrey Hills, with foot paths + cycle paths literally on our doorstep.

A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY

Treetops has some history of its own. The land it sits on was once part of a holiday camp (run by our grandparents), and remnants of its past can still be found among the trees - including an old World War II bomb shelter and the remains of the former swimming pool.

They're fun little discoveries for anyone exploring the grounds, and a reminder that Treetops has been a place for people to escape to the countryside for generations.
