Green Lane, Milford, Godalming, Surrey, GU8

With its hung tiles, chimney stacks and gabled doorway, the picture-perfect facade of this Victorian cottage makes it effortlessly easy to fall in love at first sight. Ensconced within the tranquillity of large gardens and the privacy of a gated driveway, its extended layout blends seamlessly with the original architecture. The contemporary detailing inside has been tastefully chosen and a palette of soft subtle greys and cool whites flows cohesively throughout.

From a central hallway demi glazed doors open to reveal a wonderful choice of spaces for family life. In a cosy and welcoming sitting room plush carpeting runs underfoot and a classic wood burner nestles within the fireplace. Crisp white shutters frame the windows creating a hugely homely escape from a busy day.

However, it is at the rear where the beautifully enhanced layout conjures somewhere that everyone will naturally gravitate towards for everything from daily meals to lazy weekend brunches and evenings spent catching up with friends.

Set between full height windows, French doors in the excellently large dining area instantly fill your gaze with garden vistas and open to allow its brick and decked terracing to become an extension of the cottage. The notably spacious dimensions flow fluidly into the superbly sized kitchen where a wealth of Shaker-style cabinets stretch out and around you providing an enviable measure of storage. Designed to be filled with light and accommodates space for a range cooker and American-style fridge freezer, this sociable space culminates beneath the wonderful height of a vaulted ceiling where sunlight tumbles in from above via a high skylight. A butler sink lends additional charm, sleek black granite countertops add a contemporary twist and a demi-glazed door gives you another excuse to step outside for al fresco entertaining.

The lovely measure of natural light and considered presentation is echoed upstairs where three excellently proportioned bedrooms supply plenty of flexibility for both family life and working from home. While the impeccable principal bedroom sits peacefully to the rear with idyllic views of the garden and a second double bedroom. Perfectly adaptable to your needs, the other bedroom sits beneath the skylight of a further vaulted ceiling and could easily become a study/office or dressing room if preferred. Together these three inviting rooms share a deluxe ground floor wet room where a glass framed shower has the clean minimalist design of an inset linear drain.

Outside
Equally idyllic for budding gardeners and those who love to recline and unwind in the sun, the picturesque gardens of this Victorian cottage exude tranquillity and character. The French doors of the kitchen/dining room entice you out onto brick and decked terracing that offers a cherished level of seclusion and a choice of spots to enjoy al fresco drinks and meals with family and friends.

A cornucopia of colour and greenery stretches out before you with established lawns framed by flowerbeds fully stocked with cottage garden favourites, ferns and foliage. Additional landscaping and cleverly placed trellis panels gives delineation and even more opportunity to sit in the summer sun, while a beautiful octagonal greenhouse enhances the cottage charm further still. From the heavenly scents of the flowers to the accomplished flow and privacy of the impressive dimensions, these heavenly gardens provide a sublime sanctuary.

At the front of the property a timber gate opens onto a brick paved driveway that gives the convenience of private off-road parking. To its rear high double gates provide a prized degree of privacy and security to both the gardens and a detached garage.
