Description
St Mary's is a substantial and impressive family home, situated in glorious parkland grounds where it enjoys a high level of privacy and seclusion. The property was originally built in 1878 by the Reverend Archdall Buttermer, the Rector of St Mary the Virgin, who also built the church and the village school. The son of the Rector, Robert William Buttemer lived here for many years. Described as something of an inventor, he apparently built an aeroplane at the house during the First World War.
St Mary's has been enlarged over the years and is presented in immaculate order, while retaining its essential period style and original features, the property offers a superbly elegant, spacious and comfortable family home, with all the conveniences for modern living.
Gardens and Grounds
The beautifully landscaped grounds lie to the south of the house and divide into several distinct areas. A spacious stone paved terrace adjoins the house. From the expansive terrace, steps lead down to the heated swimming pool with is surrounded with a stone wall and Provence style planting. On the terrace is a beautiful loggia ideal for alfresco entertaining and a perfect extension of the inside living. Further steps lead to an extensive area of lawn bordered by shrub and flowerbeds.
To the southeast there is a delightful area of formal garden laid to lawn with gravel paths. In addition, there are numerous mature trees that provide an attractive backdrop and seclusion.
The stables are situated to the south of the property and comprise 3 loose boxes and a tack/feed store with a path leading to the unfenced paddock/meadow area. To the side of this meadow is the tennis court.
The much sought-after village of Shackleford lies some 7 miles southwest of Guildford, within the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and here, on the southern edge of the village, lies the impressive former rectory known as St Mary's. Shackleford is an ancient settlement and it was known in the 14th century as an established village within the Guildford area and many medieval houses in the area survive to this day. Today, there is a thriving community in and around the village, which has its own school, village shop with post office and church. Nearby Godalming and Milford provide an excellent range of local amenities, while a more extensive range of shopping, leisure and cultural facilities may be found at Guildford. Communications are good. Mainline stations at Milford, Godalming and Guildford provide a frequent service into London/Waterloo, with journey times from around 33 minutes, whilst the A3 provides the route into London, the south coast and the M25 for access to airports and the national motorway network. The area has an excellent selection of schools within easy reach, including Aldro, Charterhouse, Prior's Field. Recreational amenities available include golf at several local clubs, multi-activity sports centres at Guildford and Godalming, polo at Ewhurst and Midhurst and racing at Sandown and Goodwood. In addition, the surrounding countryside provides some of the most outstanding walking and riding in the country
