Description

Built circa 1540 and lovingly restored, Penny Cottage is a detached period home of exceptional character, located in the picturesque Surrey village of Westcott. Once known as Jeaters, the cottage was renamed in 1971 to mark Decimalisation Day and now presents a rare blend of heritage and contemporary living.

The property retains a wealth of original features, including exposed beams and fireplaces, while offering modern comforts such as underfloor heating, bi-fold doors, PV solar and heating solar panels. The ground floor includes a welcoming living room and a charming dining room—both in the original part of the home—alongside a generous kitchen/breakfast room that serves as the heart of the house, with oak framing, modern appliances, and access to the garden. There is also a separate utility room and a family bathroom.

A striking helical staircase rises to a first-floor study with views toward Ranmore, making it an ideal work-from-home space. The first floor also houses a principal bedroom with vaulted ceiling and en suite shower room, alongside a guest bedroom.

Outside, the garden is designed in a coastal-inspired Dungeness style with mature planting and space for entertaining. There are two parking spaces, side access, and a large garage/workshop with power.

Situation

Penny Cottage is set in the heart of Westcott, a historic Surrey village on the edge of the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village offers a friendly community and everyday essentials, including a pub, two village shops, a church, and a primary school rated 'Outstanding' by Ofsted. Independent Box Hill School is also nearby.

Westcott lies just a few miles west of Dorking, which offers an excellent range of shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions, as well as mainline rail connections to London Waterloo and Victoria. Additional services to Gatwick and Reading are available from Dorking Deepdene and Dorking West.

The A25 offers direct east–west connections, linking to main routes toward London, the south coast, and the M25. Surrounded by breathtaking countryside, Westcott is ideal for walking, cycling, and exploring some of Surrey’s most scenic and protected landscapes.
