Guildford Estate AgentsHorsham Estate AgentsA characterful equestrian property featuring four bedrooms, a wealth of period charm, annexe potential, a stable block, and a manège. Situated on the outskirts of a sought-after Surrey Hills village, it enjoys close proximity to local village and town centre amenities, with convenient access to major regional hubs and central London for commuters.
Rose Cottage is an attractive white-rendered period cottage providing more than 1,600 sq. ft. of sensitively modernised accommodation arranged over two floors. Retained period features include leaded casement glazing and a wealth of wall and ceiling beams. The ground floor accommodation is thoughtfully arranged to provide an inviting family and entertaining space. Accessed through a gable-end porch and a small hallway, it includes a generous dual-aspect sitting room with a feature open fireplace, a well-proportioned interconnecting study/bedroom 4 and an extensive 34 ft. flagstone-floored kitchen/dining room. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units, a Belfast sink, and an Elan range cooker. The dining area provides space for a sizeable table, a useful en suite cloakroom, and a stable door leading to the front aspect. Stairs rise from the sitting room to the first floor which provides a spacious principal bedroom with fitted dressing area and modern en suite shower room, two further double bedrooms, both with built-in storage, and a modern family bathroom.
Having considerable kerb appeal, the property is approached via twin stone pillars and double wrought iron gates, leading to a private driveway with ample parking. The driveway provides access to a detached double garage with internal stairs rising to a generously sized first floor, offering versatile space suitable for various uses, including potential conversion into a self-contained annexe, subject to any necessary consents. Adjacent is a link-attached outbuilding comprising two rooms, along with a stable block housing three loose boxes, a tack room, and hardstanding. The formal wraparound garden is laid mainly to gently-sloping lawn bordered by mature shrubs and trees and features a raised timber summer house with viewing deck and paved rear and side terraces, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining. The whole enjoys views over the property’s enclosed paddocks which incorporate an all-weather manège and an area of light woodland.
This property has 2.51 acres of land.
