**A Charming Edwardian Gem in a Picturesque Setting**
Welcome to Rumpus Cottage, a stunning, completely refurbished Edwardian semi-detached house nestled in the heart of the picturesque village of Forest Green within the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).

This beautiful 1400sqft property possesses an excellent balance of character and modern amenities, making it the perfect family home for those seeking a peaceful and idyllic lifestyle. It is situated a short walk away from the celebrated Parrot Pub and the stunning green of Forest Green, where you can sit at the pond, meander through paths lined with wildflowers throughout the summer and watch cricket. The property is conveniently placed for you to explore a myriad of stunning walks from the doorstep.

**Interior Features**
Upon entering this delightful, bright home, you'll be greeted by the warm and inviting entrance hall, which features a hand-built storage unit for shoes and a feature hardwood floor. There is a library/morning room off the hallway with an original Edwardian fireplace, a hand-built library with integrated lighting, and a lovely bay window.

The spacious back living and dining room is flooded with natural light, courtesy of the large roof light, two Velux windows and the French doors and sidelights that look out to the cottage garden. This room also boasts a contemporary Morso wood burner for cosy winter nights and a media unit with hand-built fretwork and storage. The allotted dining area is perfect for entertaining, with space for a table and chairs. The kitchen has modern appliances, ample storage and preparation space and a large island with an integrated sink and dishwasher. The adjacent utility room provides additional storage and laundry facilities and a downstairs cloakroom.

The first floor has two double bedrooms, both with hand-built storage and one with an original Edwardian fireplace. This bedroom has a large window that floods the room with light. A modern family bathroom serves these two bedrooms. There is also a hand-built dressing room on this floor, ideal for getting ready for a day out. This could be converted to a single bedroom if required.

Another staircase with a Velux window leads to the second floor, which houses the loft master bedroom and a newly decorated en-suite shower room. There is more hand-built storage, plus a feature tongue-and-groove wall and a beautiful view out to the Surrey Hills through the large dormer windows. This room offers a sunny dual aspect as it has two Velux windows in the eaves.

Outside
At the front, a charming sunny garden with a picket fence and paved pathway leads to the front door, with spacious rear access via a gate. The delightful back garden is another highlight, designed with planting for year-round enjoyment. It has uninterrupted sun with areas of shade all through the summer. It features a shingle patio with solid oak beds and retainer walls, a lawn, a small wildlife pond, and a shingled circle for catching the morning sun at the back of the garden.

The garden is fully enclosed, offering privacy with well-stocked borders. To the side is a useful National Trust Blicking shed and log store and an oil storage tank cleverly concealed behind planting and fencing.

Parking is on the unadopted no-through road, with each home respectfully parking outside its home. Rumpus Cottage has the added bonus of also being able to park on the road opposite, where there are no houses.

New Road has a thriving and supportive community.
