Description
Tucked away within easy walking distance of Godalming’s town centre and train station, Flax Cottage is a captivating Grade II listed home dating back to, we believe, the 1500s. Once a weaver’s cottage, it offers the rare chance to own a unique and beautifully preserved piece of the town’s heritage.
From the moment you step through the solid wood front door, the home radiates warmth and character. The front living room is a wonderfully inviting space, with exposed timber beams, an open fireplace, and plenty of room to relax—perfect for cosy evenings in by the fire. This room effortlessly captures the spirit of the property’s rich history while remaining welcoming and practical.
A charming latch door leads to the inner hallway, where brick and timber steps take you down into the kitchen. This well-proportioned room is full of rustic charm, with brick-tiled flooring, exposed beams, and thoughtful fittings including roll-top work surfaces, a built-in gas hob and oven, and space for essential appliances.
Upstairs, the character continues. The landing and both bedrooms showcase beautiful original features including exposed beams and vaulted ceilings. The main bedroom is particularly impressive – light and airy, with its soaring ceiling and period detail creating a sense of peaceful retreat. The second bedroom enjoys a lovely view over the garden, complete with a charming cast iron fireplace. The shower room has been tastefully updated, with a tiled shower cubicle, traditional pedestal basin, and WC – all enhanced by more exposed timbers that nod to the home’s heritage.
Outside, the front path leads to the entrance, adding to the cottage feel, while the rear garden is a private and peaceful sanctuary. A stone patio and octagonal decking area provide perfect spots for morning coffee or outdoor dining. Gravel and timber steps lead through established flower and shrub borders, and a timber shed and panel fencing complete this idyllic, low-maintenance garden.
Brimming with character and set in such a convenient location, Flax Cottage is ideal for buyers seeking something truly special – whether as a full-time home, a weekend retreat, or a slice of history to cherish for years to come.
