Some words from the Current Owners

We generally love the area! We have always lived in the surrounding area and aspired to live in the Cobham/Sole Street area. My wife in particular used to keep a horse at a local farm. So when the opportunity came up to buy a house in Round Street, we jumped at it!

The house and surrounding outbuildings and land also offered (and still does) so much potential.

Also, we had young children so being part of the Cobham primary school catchment area was a huge plus for us and we have gone on to make some lifelong friends in the area. There is a wonderful community spirit.

We still do love the house and our outlook. We believe we live in the best part of the village - close enough to community life, a 15 minute walk to Sole Street station - yet we feel rural and we get the best sunsets you could ever wish for! It is such a peaceful area often only disturbed by the sound of birds and horses!

We have extensively redeveloped Smallholdings (the previous owner lived here for 60 years!) into the contemporary family home that it is today. Our home has an amazing feel and unique outlook – enjoying stunning views along with amazing sunsets. We believe we live in the best part of the village - close enough to community life, a 10 minute walk to Sole Street station - yet in such a peaceful area often only disturbed by the sound of birds and horses!

We now, however, feel that the time is right to move onto the next chapter of our lives and downsize and pass on the house and surrounding paddocks to the next custodians. The outbuildings and land still offers so much potential.

We hope the future occupiers of Smallholdings will be as happy as we have been for many years to come.
