Church Street, Cobham, KT11

Located in the heart of Cobham’s historic centre, Church Stile House is a Grade II* listed residence of exceptional character and heritage. Set beside St. Andrew’s Church and its lychgate, this remarkable home blends 17th-century origins with elegant modern living in one of Surrey’s most desirable villages.

Believed to have been first built in 1432 and remodelled in 1624, the house showcases a rare double-jettied overhang, exposed timber beams, a visible dragon tie beam, and a Queen Anne wing added in 1705. Throughout the home, architectural details reveal layers of history – from original Delft tiles and oak panelling to period fireplaces, 17th-century hooks, and even a windowpane dating to 1705.

The home’s rich past includes use as a school, convalescent home, and residence for notable figures including railway entrepreneur Sir Samuel Peto. The vaulted cellar, once an air raid shelter, and numerous whimsical finds – such as a handmade dolls’ house replica – further enrich its story.

Thoughtfully updated under the guidance of conservation architect Peregrine Bryant, the house now features a stunning orangery with underfloor heating, sensitively bridging historic and contemporary design. The kitchen and main reception rooms retain original features, while blending seamlessly with modern comforts.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom offers views of the church, alongside period bathrooms, original sash windows, and charming historic touches such as wig cupboards and Voysey fireplace motifs.

The walled garden is a tranquil retreat, complete with a 1920s greenhouse, mature planting, and Victorian boundary stones. Outbuildings include a converted studio, now a motor house with inspection pit, power, and lighting.

Moments from Cobham’s high street, excellent independent schools, and transport links to London, Heathrow and Gatwick.

For discerning buyers in search of an extraordinary residence at the very heart of Surrey, Church Stile House offers a rare and unrivalled opportunity to own a truly distinguished home—where timeless elegance, rich heritage, and architectural significance converge to create a haven for history enthusiasts and lovers of classic English character.
