The Old Cottage is a splendid, detached period home that is believed to have been built in 1679 and still has its original beams and inglenook fireplace and offers homely light-filled accommodation. The main reception room is the wellproportioned drawing room with its grand fireplace and heavy timber ceiling beams. The dining room has an imposing inglenook fireplace, while there is also a comfortable family room. The kitchen provides plenty of storage in cream fitted units to base and wall level, granite (galaxy) works surface, Neff induction hob/oven and hood as well as integrated appliances and a breakfast bar, with the utility room providing further space for home storage and appliances. There are four bedrooms on the first floor, including the principal bedroom with its en suite bathroom and dressing room. The first floor also has a family shower room.
The cottage is accessed from the main road via a single-track lane, where a gate offers access to the cottage and its paved driveway, which provides parking for several vehicles. The garden surrounding the cottage includes wellstocked border beds, an area of lawn to the rear,
paved terracing, an ornamental pond, a timberframed summer house and timber clad garden office. Opposite the cottage is a courtyard with outbuildings including a double garage, a hay barn with a tack room and a stable block with two stables. Beyond the outbuildings there is a grassy paddock that opens up onto a permissive bridleway.
The property is set in the popular Wood Street Village, just two and a half miles from Guildford town centre. Wood Street Village, with its pretty village green with the only surviving maypole in Surrey, has several everyday amenities including a post office, general store and two country pubs, with the locally acclaimed White Hart with its popular restaurant, nearby. For the equestrian, The Old Cottage is ideally situated with direct on to Broad Street Common. Cycle routes and scenic paths allow access to miles of countryside. For more extensive facilities, nearby Guildford offers an eclectic range of high street and independent shops, along with an abundance of coffee shops, restaurants and entertainment, including The Yvonne Arnaud Theatre, Electric Theatre and G Live. Outstanding sporting facilities are available at The Guildford Spectrum and Surrey Sports Park.
