Horseblock Hollow stands high in the Surrey Hills between Guildford and Dorking and just 2 miles north of Cranleigh. The property directly adjoins Winterfold Forest, an extensive area of protected common land, which lands with the Hurtwood and Farley Heath providing some of the finest walking and horse riding countryside in the south of England. There are good local shops in Cranleigh and further local amenities in the picturesque villages of Shere and Peaslake, each about 3 miles. Guildford is about 9 miles to the north with access to the A3 and a fast train service to Waterloo in 38 mins.
