Description

**Fine & Country are open 7 days a week** The Old Cottage is a historic period home dating back to 1664 with a wealth of features including old ships beams, inglenook fireplaces and York stone floors. There are four bedrooms, two bathrooms and three reception rooms plus a very useful garden office. Outside there is a delightful formal garden, full equestrian facilities, all set within one and a half acres. Located within Wood Street Village and its surrounding countryside and yet only minutes away from Guildford, one of the most desirable town centres within the prime commuter belt of London.

The property is set off the main road and is accessed through double wooden gates into a driveway and courtyard with places for parking.

The front door leads into a porch area and then through into a reception room with a fabulous inglenook fireplace and beamed ceiling. The owners currently use this as a dining area although it could be readily used as a very grand reception hall. A door leads through to a hallway that has a further reception room off it. This is a double aspect family room with a wood burning stove and a further beamed ceiling which are a feature throughout the property,

At the end of the hallway is the kitchen, this is a dual aspect room with modern cabinetry and appliances and a breakfast bar. A door from the kitchen leads through to a large utility room / boot room, which has two doors leading through to the garden and a further door to the downstairs cloakroom.

Back through to the entrance and dining area and there is a door through to the drawing room. This is a lovely dual aspect room with another large inglenook fireplace and york stone flooring throughout.

Opposite the entrance to the Drawing room are stairs leading up to the landing. Directly on the right is the main bedroom. Some of the walls in this room show exposed beams and there is a wonderful irregularity about this room that exemplifies historic period homes. There is a door off the bedroom that leads through into a dressing area with dual mirrored wardrobes off to either side and this then leads through into the en-suite bathroom.

Off the landing on either side are bedrooms two and three, both off which are good sized double bedrooms with bedroom three featuring a quirky little mezzanine nook accessed via a ladder. Bedroom four at the end of the landing is an L-shaped bedroom with views over the stables and paddock. The family bathroom is also at the end and has vanity, wc and shower.

There is history galore throughout the home with many of the beams being old ships timbers many of which are believed to have originated from the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588. There is even one in the attic with Roman numerals on it!

Yet despite its age and eligibility the house is not listed and this has allowed the owners to sympathetically upgrade the various aspects of the house including the windows, which has eliminated the draughts so often found in period properties.

Outside

The Garden Office was newly built a few years ago and is situated diagonally opposite the front door. It is a light spacious haven that could be used for a variety of purposes.

Around the back of the house is a greenhouse surrounded by some planter beds. There is an octagonal shaped summer room situated within the lawn area. This leads down to a paved terraced area where there is an inbuilt brick bbq and a raised fishpond. This area also has a wonderful pergola over a seating area with has a grapevine canopy giving it a real Mediterranean feel.

Out through the double gated entrance and diagonally across are the equestrian facilities including a stable block, tack room and paddock. There is also a large double garage here with remote controlled entrance. There is a paddocked area with direct access onto the common at the rear and around the back of the garage is an area that was once used as ménage. Alternatively this area has some exciting possibilities for redevelopment (sttp)

Location

Wood Street Village is surrounded by some of the most idyllic English countryside and is famous for for having the only surviving maypole in Surrey on the village green. There are endless bridleways, footpaths and hacking opportunities here and yet it enjoys close proximity to Guildford town centre with its extensive recreational and shopping facilities on its famous 16th Century cobbled high street.

The property's convenient location also ensures easy commuting, with Gatwick, Heathrow and Farnborough airports all accessible via the A3, A331 and M25. Woking and Guildford stations are a short drive away and offer a fast train service, with a travel time to London of approximately 27 minutes.

The surrounding area boasts a fine selection of educational institutions, including Tormead, Royal Grammar School, Cranleigh, Charterhouse and Guildford High School to name but a few.
