This country house for sale sits in nearly 12 acres of grounds - including its own tennis court. 

Sleepy Oaks, in Tilford, was once an ornamental building and was sympathetically converted into a country house several years ago. 

On the ground floor, there is a large kitchen and breakfast room with a breakfast bar, and a built-in oven, while the formal dining room includes a fireplace and a spiral staircase. 

Next to the kitchen is a snug with its own fireplace, while an inner hall leads to two bedrooms with built-in storage and a bathroom. 

From the dining room, the spiral stairs lead up to the main reception room, which has a kitchenette in one corner. 

There are another three bedrooms on the first floo, one of which has two walk-in wardrobes, and another of which has an en-suite bathroom. 

Completing the accommodation is a home study area, a family bathroom and a cloakroom. 

Outside, there is a long private drive approaching the home, with a double garage and a parking area. 

The grounds extend to just under 12 acres and are surrounded by mature woodlands, with walks out to the countryside and Surrey Hill views. 

The formal gardens incorporate shrubs and flower beds, terraced seating areas and further lawns. 

There is also a hard surface tennis court, as well as a garden machinery store and a gardener’s WC.  

The property is being sold by Hamptons for a guide price of £2,750,000. 

The agent commented: “Sleepy Oaks is a most attractive country home having historically been a former pavilion, the property was sympathetically converted and extended into a unique country house a number of years ago. 

“The house offers generous accommodation over two floors with the substantial principal reception room being situated on the first floor.”
