Petworth Road, Godalming, GU8

There’s a certain type of home that instantly feels “right” the moment you step inside. Hoe Cottage is one of those.

From the outset, it’s the blend that works so well here: authentic cottage character (exposed brickwork, timber detailing and two wood-burning stoves) paired with a renovation and extension that’s been done properly. The result is a house that still feels warm and traditional, but lives like a modern family home.

The ground floor offers a great flow for day-to-day living and entertaining, with a separate dining room and a generous living/family room. A standout feature is the well in the family room, beautifully showcased with internal lighting, adding a real talking point without ever feeling gimmicky.

The kitchen sits at the heart of the home, supported by a practical utility/boot room and a downstairs cloakroom—exactly what you want in a village property where muddy walks and dogs are part of the lifestyle.

Upstairs, you’ll find three genuine double bedrooms, including an en-suite to the principal bedroom, plus a family bathroom.

Outside, the landscaped rear garden has been designed to be enjoyed rather than managed, and the fully insulated office to the rear is a serious bonus—perfect for hybrid working, a studio space, or simply somewhere quiet to take calls.

Off-road parking for two cars completes the package.

'Sellers Comment'

“We’d been searching for a home with charm and personality — somewhere we could truly make our own while still working beautifully for modern life. Chiddingfold had long been top of our list, with its welcoming community and fantastic amenities. Hoe Cottage felt right straight away.”

'Agents Comments - Lee Glomé

"Hoe Cottage is a wonderful example of a character home that’s been carefully enhanced for modern living. The current owners have extended and refurbished the property with real attention to detail, creating a finish that feels both tasteful and timeless.

The garden office is an excellent addition for anyone working from home, while the wood-burning stoves add that perfect cosy feel in the winter months. Set in Chiddingfold, one of the area’s most sought-after villages, the location is every bit as appealing as the house itself."
