House For Sale £995,000
Leatherhead Road, Great Bookham, Leatherhead, Surrey, KT23

Believed to have been built around 1550, the property enjoys the period charm of exposed beams and feature fireplaces. This pretty cottage, which overlooks a little green at the top end of Bookham High Street, is a rare and charming find in this part of Surrey, which is on the edge of the Surrey Hills.

Set behind a white picket fence, the property is approached via a paved front garden which leads to the front door. From the entrance hall, there is a door to the inviting living room, which has an imposing brick fireplace with a wood burner. To the right of the entrance hall is a second reception room, which is currently used as a dining room. Both reception rooms lead through to the kitchen/ breakfast room so the accommodation flows freely around the ground floor. The kitchen is a more recent addition to the property but there is scope to enhance this further, subject to the usual consents and investigations. Just off the kitchen is a downstairs cloakroom, a larder cupboard and a separate coats cupboard.

Just before you enter the dining room from the kitchen/ breakfast room, there is a little hall with a door leading to the cellar. This is a large room which has been used as a home office/ bedroom but could equally serve as a den/ family room. There is also a useful storage space just off the main room.

Stairs lead to the first floor where there are three well-proportioned double bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms overlook the green to the front of the house and the other looks out to the cottage garden. There is also a good-sized modern family bathroom. A landing with exposed beams to the walls and ceiling connects these rooms.

To the rear of the property is a lovely garden with mature trees, shrubs and summer house. There is also a large patio area suitable for both dining and lounging. To the side of the property is a garage/workshop and off-street parking for up to two cars.

Bookham village has a range of shops, restaurants, coffee shops, cafés and pubs. There is an excellent range of private and state schools in the area, including St Teresa's, The Raleigh, Cranmore School, Howard of Effingham and Glenesk School.
