Property description
Village location
Four bedrooms
Mature garden
Only minutes from local shops
This wonderful period cottage is in a truly rural situation in the village of Ockham bordering a bridleway, whilst still being within close proximity to major road and rail networks linking to London and destinations throughout the South East.
We believe the cottage was originally built in the early to mid 18th Century as part of the Ockham estate and many of the original features are still in situ. Points of note include a deep inglenook fireplace and hearth, exposed beams, doors and latches of the period and a "Lovelace" style front wall, synonymous with local Horsley and surrounds architecture.
The extensive accommodation features four bedrooms on the first floor plus family bathroom. Downstairs there are the two original interlinking reception rooms, both with fireplaces, as well as a separate study. The extended kitchen/breakfast room leads in turn to a spacious utility room with downstairs cloakroom and access to the large paved terrace and rear garden.
There is a good size detached garage, shed and greenhouse and plenty of space for off street parking on the shingled driveway. The front cottage garden is very private. The extended rear garden is laid predominantly to lawn with a variety of trees and shrubs.
Vendors Comments "We have lived in this beautiful cottage for almost 40 years, raising two children. Ockham is a friendly community-minded village surrounded by pretty countryside laced with footpaths and bridleways, yet only minutes from the local shops and supermarkets".
