Upper Swaynes Barn is close to the village of Rudgwick which has local facilities including a variety of shops and pubs, and a church; whilst the larger centres of Cranleigh, Horsham and Guildford provide more comprehensive facilities and mainline railway services to London. The surrounding countryside provides many miles of beautiful walks, including the Downs Link with access to public bridleways and footpaths. There are also excellent schools in the area, including Pennthorpe, Farlington, Cranleigh and Christ’s Hospital.

The property is accessed via a private, shared drive and has two entry points; one leading to a gravel drive, courtyard and garden to the front of the property, and the other via a 5-bar wooden gate leading to the rear with driveway, garage, "dragon garden" with pergola and climbing roses, ornamental pond and lawn area with fruit trees, potting shed and greenhouse.

The formal garden to the front is delightful, enclosed by mature hedging. The garden is mainly laid to lawn and boasts an impressive Oak tree, as well as a natural pond with fountain feature, Beech "mini maze" and tree house with tractor shed. The paved courtyard and timber decked area provide the perfect locations for outside entertaining. The remaining front garden provides a paddock area, stable block and 3 bay open barn.

To the right hand side of the drive is a further area of paddock which links to the additional 12.5 acres (available by separate negotiation).
