‘Shere is a very popular village. This property is on the outskirts of the village, but still close enough.
‘The owners have been there about five years, but in neighbouring properties people have lived there for 20 to 30 years, properties like this don’t change hands very frequently.
‘It sits on the side of Winterfold, an area of woodland with a network of footpaths around you.
‘Much of the land surrounding the hills is Albury Heath and Shere Manor Estate land, known as the Hurtwood. It’s about 3,000 acres of woodland and heathland that is open to the public and great for walking, horse riding and cycling.’
