Tandridge Lane, Oxted, RH8

Once part of a row of four cottages originally used as an infants’ school, this mid 1800s home is rich in charm, character and period detail. Thoughtfully renovated over the past decade, the owners have preserved its heritage while creating a warm, inviting and beautifully functional living space.

The ground floor features an open plan living and dining area centred around a stunning log burning fireplace — a true focal point that enhances the cottage’s cosy feel. The renovated kitchen offers a lovely space for cooking and dining, with plenty of room for everyday living. The bathroom is conveniently located on the ground floor.

Upstairs, the property offers two generous double bedrooms, each filled with natural light and retaining the character of the original cottage.

The front garden has been recently landscaped and designed with stepped sections that create distinct areas for outdoor living, a patio for dining, a play area, a vegetable patch, and a useful shed. From here, the views stretch out across the surrounding countryside, offering a peaceful backdrop in every season.

Tandridge is surrounded by outstanding walking, cycling and riding routes, including the Greensand Way which runs directly through the village. The surrounding landscape has recently been proposed by Natural England for inclusion within the Surrey Hills AONB, highlighting the beauty of the countryside right on the doorstep.

The cottage is just a two minute walk down the hill to the Barley Mow pub, a much loved local spot known for its friendly atmosphere and great food. Tandridge Golf Club is also within walking distance, a highly regarded course set in stunning scenery, with an approx. 2 mile walk across the fairways leading directly into Oxted. Oxted’s vibrant mix of independent restaurants, cafés, bars and shops is less than a 10 minute drive away, and fast trains reach London Bridge in just 35 minutes, making commuting exceptionally convenient.

Adding to the village’s heritage, the local church is home to one of the oldest yew trees in the country, a reminder of the deep history woven into this peaceful Surrey setting.

This is a rare opportunity to purchase a historic Surrey cottage with beautiful views, a newly landscaped garden, and unbeatable access to countryside, community and commuter links — a perfect blend of rural charm and everyday convenience.
