Fortune Drive, Cranleigh

“The position of this house is a real advantage. It sits on a corner plot with a south-facing garden, and having direct access onto the Downs Link from the garden gate is something quite special. The separate sitting room and open-plan kitchen also give the ground floor a practical layout. The fact that there is no onward chain is a further bonus.” Gavin Amberton - Chantries & Pewleys
Fortune Drive forms part of the established Hitherwood development in Cranleigh, with this detached house occupying a corner plot at the end of a residential cul-de-sac.
The property is set back behind a driveway, with established planting to the front and access to the integral garage. To the rear, the south-facing garden is enclosed by mature trees and shrubs, creating a completely green outlook.
One of the property's more distinctive features is its direct access to the Downs Link, a former railway route now used by walkers, cyclists and horse riders. A gate from the rear garden leads straight onto a quick and convenient off-road walk into Cranleigh, and beyond.
The large integrated kitchen and dining room features cream fitted units, providing storage above and below the worktops, with a built-in oven, gas hob and space for additional appliances. Double doors in the dining area open directly onto the terrace and rear garden, creating a seamless space for summer entertaining. A further door provides access to the side of the house.
The light and spacious living room has a feature fireplace, and full-length doors opening onto the rear terrace provide an attractive view over the garden.
A ground-floor cloakroom completes the main accommodation on this level.
All three bedrooms on the first floor are doubles, providing more space than is usual for a house of this size. The principal bedroom is positioned at the front of the house and includes fitted wardrobes, with space for a double bed and additional furniture. The second bedroom is another comfortable double with a fitted wardrobe and a large window bringing natural light into the room. The third bedroom also accommodates a double bed, providing flexibility for family, guests or use as a home office. The family bathroom includes a bath with shower over, wash basin and WC.
The south -facing rear garden is a larger than average plot and features a paved terrace running along the back of the house. The lawn area, with curved boarders, shrubs and mature trees around the boundaries, provides considerable privacy from neighbouring properties. A gate leads directly onto the Downs Link for stress-free country walks and cycle rides. To the front, the driveway provides off-road parking and leads to the integral garage, with gated side access connecting the front and rear gardens.
