Upper Pinewood Road, Ash, Surrey, GU12

A unique opportunity to purchase a character cottage on the edge of a nature reserve. With easy access to London, Guildford, Farnham and Reading by train, as well as country walks and bike rides from the doorstep, this house offers the perfect blend of city and countryside.

There are charming character features throughout the cottage, with a character bay window at the front with window seat, original wooden floorboards, log burner, characterful beams, a roll-top bath, and stained glass internal windows.

At the back of the house, the spacious country-style kitchen has a vaulted ceiling, with a roof light which bathes the room in natural light.

The character continues into the mature garden, where there is a large acer, maple and corkscrew hazel tree, a beautiful pond, and mature shrubs. There are two patios, giving you ample space to relax and enjoy the sunshine.

Upstairs there are two double bedrooms, both with views out across trees in this peaceful setting. There are restored traditional windows and doors, adding to the charm of the bedrooms.

In summer, you can enjoy evening walks on Ash Ranges, and relax in the mature garden, surrounded by tall trees. In winter, the cottage is a cosy retreat, with the log burner providing a warm and relaxing living space.

The property itself is on a quiet country lane with no through traffic, surrounded by the forest which borders Ash Ranges nature reserve. There is plenty of parking on Upper Pinewood Road, shared between the residents.

Situated between Ash and Normandy (but in Normandy parish) the area has a rural feel, with easy access to Ash and Ash Vale stations (as well as Woking and Worplesdon stations in 15-20 min drive).

With the centre of Normandy only a 5 minute drive, you can easily access the village amenities, such as the community shop and cafe, the weekly veg and bakery market, as well as the doctor’s surgery.

There is great potential to extend the property with a loft conversion, adding an extra en-suite bedroom and potential to convert the front garden into a driveway if desired. The current stairs are steep as is typical with a cottage of this age, but these could be replaced if preferred.
