New Cottages, Iping, GU29

We always get excited when asked to launch a cottage to the market and this is no exception. From the moment you meander up the steps to 2 New Cottages you are captivated by the utterly outstanding location the breathtaking views from every angle and the huge expanse of blue sky around you. You are elevated and you feel like you have just settled yourself in your very own slice of heaven. This is the perfect property for anyone who is yearning peace and privacy and doesn’t want to live in a boring space, with quirky nooks and crannies, gorgeous beams, exposed wooden floors and a beautiful outlook.

The pretty brick elevations and subtle ‘cupboard green’ windows, draw you in and the cottage seamlessly melts into the landscape around it, this is a property that should be used in a Beautrix Potter adaptation, the birdsong is deafening the rabbits have made the gardens their home and if a deer popped it’s head through the French doors to say hello you really wouldn’t be surprised. This is the epitome of cottage living and country life.

Step through the doors and into the living room and you are immediately taken a back by the space on offer here, it is deceptive and takes your breath away, it is comfortable with a quiet formality, a space to relax with a glass of wine and a Waterstone’s bestseller. The cleverly curated layout allows one room to glide into the other creating a cosy open plan feel that works perfectly, offering modern lifestyles the space they need yet still embracing the traditional charm this home exudes. Centrally located is the dining room, a room for all seasons, with the woodburning stove to exude warmth throughout the house in the winter and doors through to the kitchen and sitting room to allow the rural breeze to keep you cool on these somewhat hotter summer days. The door through to the kitchen gives you glimpses of the wonderful navy-blue cabinetry and entices you through to see more. This stylish space still oozes character with Rangemaster oven, door to the garden and expanses of white granite and wooden worktop, there is room for a table for informal get togethers or a quiet solitary 5 minutes with a coffee and to catch up with the parish magazine.

There is this incredible calm and a perfect blend of sublime space and timeless charm that continues to the first floor. The wooden painted stairs have a subtle ‘brocante’ feel, the skylight on the landing allows natural light to flood in, illuminating the space and the bedrooms connected to it. Each of the rooms are quaint and peaceful, with water colour worthy views of the surrounding countryside, there are traditional fireplaces reminding you of this homes age and the principal bedroom offers that little taste of luxury living with an ensuite shower room and quintessential balcony for a morning coffee with the Sunday papers. To top it all off is the family bathroom, perfectly styled to embrace the rustic nature with grey grout between the tiles, open pipework and roll top bath giving an industrial yet fresh and natural feel to this space.


Outside
The extremely idyllic gardens surround the house on three sides and are utterly heavenly, with rambling green spaces for children to play, areas to be nurtured and a pleasant spot to enjoy a G&T, whilst listening to the birds sing and breathing in the view. The garden house offers a quiet retreat for work or play and the separate workshop a spot to store stuff and tinker. There are stone walls, fruit trees, mature trees, wild flowers, perennials and bienniels and everything in between. It feels like this is a green oasis that successfully cares for itself and in exchange gives absolute joy to those that reside in it.
