Bruce and his wife Pat, who died in 2009, extended the home after they purchased it.
They bought the property because of its big garden and added a lounge, two bedrooms and extended the kitchen. In total, the home had five bedrooms.
Wonersh is a commuter village that is located less than 30 miles from London.
Despite its proximity to the capital city, Wonersh is much more quiet and peaceful.
It has "beautiful, rolling countrysides" found in the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
It is also near the town of Guildford which offers plenty to do.
The town is described as a "historical and vibrant county town" with a "quaint cobbled high street".
