Seller Insight

Beltane is a lovely family home with wonderful countryside views from every window,” says the current owner. “This spacious house provides good family accommodation with two sets of double doors on the ground floor, which may be opened to provide a sociable, easy-flowing space for entertaining family and friends, also extending out onto the exquisite gardens. The conservatory was added more than 20 years ago and has given much pleasure - it is a peaceful place to sit and chat or just relax in the midst of the lovely surroundings.”

Outside, the much-loved gardens have matured over the decades the owner has been here. “I shall miss my beautiful garden, which I have tended for nearly forty years,” she says. “Spanning almost three quarters of an acre, it is planted with trees, shrubs and many perennial flowers to provide interest in every season. There is also a more natural area where wildlife flourishes, including a family of deer who visit in the early mornings. The grounds are ideal for al fresco entertaining, too, and grandchildren and family

Set on a sought after country lane in the charming rural Surrey village of Leigh, the location of the property has much to recommend it, too. “Dean Oak Lane is a special place to live, many residents having lived here longer than the forty years I have enjoyed,” the owner says. “The views from the properties are of countryside, but there is a good, neighbourly feeling with easy access to excellent transport links and good local schools. We really do have the best of both worlds here.”*
