Wonersh Common, Wonersh

Apartment 2, Little Tangley, is a charming and well-presented property; it occupies an enviable position in a peaceful spot just outside the village and is approached by a long drive.

The original house was built in 1760, and in 1822 the house was increased in size to accommodate James Butcher and his 21 children. Lutyens arrived in 1890, where he completed the works by adding two large wings, working side by side with Gertrude Jekyll, who took over the new design of the gardens. In 1952 the property was converted into ten apartments, which is how Little Tangley is still presented today.

Apartment 2 has its own front door with a charming terrace. A large entrance hall leads to the rest of the accommodation. There is a beautiful drawing room with a wood-burning stove and a stunning bay window. There is also a perfect area for a large dining table.

This apartment is a very rare gem. It has two excellent-sized bedrooms, one with an en suite, and an excellently appointed family bathroom.

The gardens are an extraordinary part of Little Tangley, with several magnificent trees dating back hundreds of years, which can be seen from all parts of the grounds. Gertrude Jekyll planned the main planting and terraces, leading to the upper terraces. The gardens attract much wildlife, with a family of deer that has been part of Little Tangley for many years. Walking is plentiful from the property; a garden gate goes straight onto a footpath that takes you onto Blackheath with miles of glorious open countryside.

Wonersh is a delightful old-world village with period houses and cottages lining the village street. It has an excellent general store/post office, a hugely popular gastro pub, doctor’s surgery, pharmacy, church, and cricket green. Bramley village is very close by with its wide range of local shops. Wonersh is surrounded by lovely countryside, beautiful walks on Chinthurst Hill, and adjoining Blackheath.
