Description

The Old Cottage is a historic period home dating back to 1664, oozing charm and character with its old ship beams, inglenook fireplaces, and York stone floors. This four-bedroom property with two bathrooms and three reception rooms, along with a garden office, is set within one and a half acres of formal gardens and equestrian facilities. It is located in the desirable Wood Street Village, within the Surrey countryside, yet is conveniently close to Guildford's town center and its array of shops, restaurants, and amenities. The property is approached via double wooden gates leading to a driveway and courtyard, providing ample parking. The front door opens into a porch, which in turn leads to a grand reception hall with an inglenook fireplace. A hallway off this space offers access to a family room with a wood-burning stove, a kitchen with modern fittings and a breakfast bar, and a utility room with access to the garden. The drawing room is another highlight, featuring a second inglenook fireplace and York stone flooring. Upstairs, the landing leads to the main bedroom with exposed beams and a dressing area with wardrobes, as well as an en-suite bathroom. Bedrooms two and three are spacious doubles, with bedroom three featuring a mezzanine nook. Bedroom four is an L-shaped room with views over the stables and paddock. The family bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation. The home is rich in history, with many beams believed to date back to the Spanish Armada, and has been sympathetically upgraded to eliminate draughts typical of period properties. Outside, the garden office offers a versatile space, and the gardens include a greenhouse, a summer room, a paved terrace with a brick barbecue and a raised fishpond, and a pergola with a grapevine canopy. The equestrian facilities comprise a stable block, tack room, and a paddock, along with a double garage. Wood Street Village is surrounded by beautiful countryside, with numerous bridleways and footpaths for outdoor enthusiasts. It is also well-positioned for commuters, with easy access to Gatwick, Heathrow, and Farnborough airports, and train stations offering fast services to London
