Myrtle Cottages, Wheeler Lane, Witley, Godalming, GU8

Charming period cottage in sought after village, offering open-plan living, two bedrooms, generous garden, parking and exciting potential for improvement.

Description

Set along the attractive and semi-rural Wheeler Lane, 2 Myrtle Cottages is a delightful character mid terrace period cottage offering well proportioned accommodation, a generous rear garden and scope for modernisation. The property combines traditional charm with practical living space, making it ideal for first time buyers, downsizers or those seeking a village home with potential.
The front door opens directly into an open plan sitting room and kitchen, extending the full depth of the cottage and providing a versatile living environment. The sitting area is bright and welcoming, featuring front aspect windows that overlook the lane, with the staircase centrally positioned and neatly enclosed beneath.
To the rear, the kitchen area is functional and enjoys garden views, with space for appliances and access to the rear garden. While serviceable, the kitchen offers clear scope for updating or redesign to suit modern tastes. A ground floor bathroom/shower room is also located on this level, fitted with a walk in shower, WC and wash basin.
On the first floor, the cottage offers two well proportioned double bedrooms, both enjoying pleasant natural light. The principal bedroom benefits from an adjoining dressing room, providing excellent storage and flexibility — a notable feature for a cottage of this size.
To the front, the property benefits from a gravelled off street parking space, with mature hedging providing screening and privacy from the lane.
The rear garden is a particular highlight — long, enclosed and predominantly laid to lawn, bordered by a variety of mature shrubs and hedging that create a green and private outlook. The garden offers excellent space for relaxing, entertaining or gardening, with plenty of potential for landscaping.
To the far end of the garden sits a detached shed/outbuilding, ideal for storage, workshop use or further enhancement, subject to requirements.
