Every so often, an extraordinary opportunity arises—like the chance to call Chapel House your own. Nestled on the outskirts of the much soughtafter village of Westhumble in the picturesque Surrey Hills, this Victorian gem beckons with its grandeur and potential. This is your chance to not only acquire a substantial property but to transform it into your very own dream home. It has been the family home of the current owners for over 50 years and when you ask them they speak fondly of their idyllic childhood here; from being able to play in their very own six-and-ahalf acre wood to riding or cycling on Ranmore Common, and from long leisurely summers swimming in the pool (which is currently an ornamental pond) to playing tennis on their court, the memories they have are endless. Inside, the high ceilings and expansive Victorian windows usher in an abundance of natural light and on sunny days practically every room becomes sunlit and warm. In winter months the open fire
