Chapel Grove, Addlestone

From the front, this Victorian cottage immediately captures your attention - wisteria drapes softly across the façade, its lilac bloom a romantic prelude to the charm within. Just outside, there’s a classic elegance that hints at the home’s heritage and quiet beauty. But step inside, and the story deepens - this is not simply a meeting of old and new, but a conversation between them. The character remains, not only in what you see but in the quieter details behind the scenes - thoughtful craftsmanship, natural materials, and a design that respects what came before while gently embracing the present.

The front living space, with its natural flooring and original fireplace, still holds onto the soul of the home. Yet just beyond, a gentle step down shifts the energy: a remarkable open-plan kitchen-dining space unfolds, striking in both scale and feel. Here, a deep blue kitchen makes a statement - anchored by a generous island, where four lower stools line the main counter and four high-backed chairs wrap around the elevated end, which has been perfectly measured to accommodate them. It’s a small detail, but one that makes all the difference - inviting long conversations and quiet morning moments alike.

As your eye travels through the space, full-width bifold doors frame the garden beyond and create a striking sense of volume and flow. The contrast is quietly dramatic - from the heritage-rich front to the expansive, design-led space that lies behind.

The home’s thoughtful refurbishment has been executed with both beauty and function in mind. A sleek cloakroom is tucked just off the main living space, while bespoke features such as a swing-door spice rack room divider, underfloor heating, a smart integrated media wall, skylight, herringbone tiled flooring, Sonos sound system, feature lighting, and induction hob all contribute to a home that’s not only stylish, but cleverly future-ready. It’s a smart home in every sense - designed to feel good and function beautifully.

Upstairs, two double bedrooms offer both comfort and calm, with soft tones, character detailing, and an enveloping sense of quiet. The bathroom is a sanctuary in its own right - generous in size, featuring a large bath, separate walk-in shower, and a Velux window that fills the space with natural light pouring in from above. Even the staircase holds a quiet drama, with feature lighting cascading from above, drawing the eye upward in the most elegant way.

Step outside, and the design-led approach continues. The garden may be modest in footprint, but it’s been expertly considered - beginning with a patio that sits level with the bifolds for a seamless indoor-outdoor flow, creating a sheltered, sociable space. Thoughtfully designed with outdoor lighting, space for dining furniture, and a BBQ area, it’s made for long summer evenings. Steps lead up to a second tier framed by soft planting, drawing the eye toward a beautiful bespoke garden room at the top. There’s also convenient side access, making the space as practical as it is inviting.

Inside, the garden room offers exceptional flexibility - part office, part annexe, part guest hideaway. With a toilet, sink, kitchenette, lighting, and multiple power points already in place - and plumbing beneath the floor ready for a shower if desired - it could be effortlessly adapted into a fully self-contained retreat: perfect for guests, working from home, or simply slipping away into a little quiet of your own.

This is a cottage that surprises - not just with its style and quality, but with its confident use of space, light, and flow. Every inch has been curated with care, offering a home that feels as effortless as it is impressive. Should the next owners wish, there is the opportunity for all fixtures, fittings, and furnishings to remain - inviting a seamless transition into a lifestyle already so beautifully imagined.
