Back Lane, Elstead, GU8

This beautiful detached cottage enjoys a tucked-away yet wonderfully central position within the sought-after village of Elstead. Wisteria and rose-clad elevations of red brick and Bargate stone set a welcoming tone, while the interiors combine period charm with modern comfort.

The ground floor features three reception rooms, each with its own character—painted wood floors, open fireplaces, and lovely garden outlooks. A generous entrance hall/sunroom leads to the kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with quartz worktops, a large butler’s sink, integrated appliances, and ample space for dining. A guest cloakroom completes the ground floor.

Upstairs are four bedrooms, including a generous principal suite with built-in wardrobes and an en-suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms are well-proportioned and share a family bathroom. Throughout, period details such as quarry tiles and picture rails add warmth and individuality, creating a home that feels both elegant and inviting.

Outside

The gardens are a true highlight, beautifully designed with classic cottage-style planting, colourful borders, arbours, and winding gravel paths. Areas of lawn provide space for relaxation and play, while the westerly and southerly aspect ensures sunshine throughout the day. The well-tended beds are filled with mature shrubs, roses, and perennials, creating year-round interest.

Several outbuildings enhance the appeal, including a garage, two garden sheds, and a charming summerhouse—perfect for use as a home office or studio. The gravel driveway provides parking and complements the property’s countryside aesthetic. Every view from the house opens onto the lush greenery and floral surroundings, offering peace and privacy in a truly picturesque setting.
