Full Description
This charming two-bedroom cottage situated in the heart of this sought after Surrey Hills village is characterised by its period features and potential for creating your own bespoke home. As you approach, the brick paved driveway provides off-street parking to the front of the house, with a pathway offering easy pedestrian access to the front door. Upon entering, the characterful hallway provides access to both the sitting room and dining room.
To the front of the house is a cosy sitting room, enjoying a focal point open fire, with wooden mantle and a red tile hearth and surround. The room is illuminated by a square bay window and boasts period picture rails. The dining room also features an impressive exposed brick fireplace with a period log burner and has the benefit of a large understairs cupboard. This area seamlessly leads to the kitchen, equipped with wood worktops and a range of painted wooden cupboards and drawers. Integrated appliances, including a cooker with a hob and extractor fan, are complemented by additional space for freestanding appliances. A side door opens to a hardstanding area with a wood store.
Descending a few steps from the kitchen, you'll find a garden/family room with modern French doors opening onto a patio. This space also includes a convenient downstairs cloakroom with a WC.
Moving to the first floor, a long landing guides you to a generous double bedroom at the front of the house and a second double bedroom with fitted cupboards overlooks the garden. Steps down from the landing lead to the spacious bathroom, featuring a white suite comprising a bath, separate shower cubicle, washbasin, and WC. From the bathroom, there's a delightful view over the garden to the rear of the property.
Outside, the garden is primarily laid to lawn, accented by bordering shrubs, a greenhouse, shed, and a small potting greenhouse. Access to the front of the property is facilitated by a side access wooden gate.
Recent improvements include bespoke timber sash windows and the addition of water and electric solar panels to the roof. This is a wonderful opportunity to purchase a character cottage in a popular village which holds enormous potential for sympathetically updating, and potential enlargement, STPP, in order to create your own bespoke haven. We recommend you view as soon as possible.
