Main Text
The property has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully improved over the years. The ground floor comprises two bedrooms and a family bathroom, along with a kitchen/diner featuring an additional stove and a practical utility room. The double-aspect sitting room includes a welcoming log-burning stove, while the spacious side entrance porch doubles as a breakfast room, offering a superb vantage point over the adjoining arable field.
A staircase leads to the first floor, where the highlight of the home is found: a stunning room with a glazed gable end, framing a perfect picture of the ever-changing North Downs National Landscape and overlooking the sedum roof below. This versatile space could serve as a bedroom, day room, playroom, or study—adaptable to changing needs over time.
Outside, the enchanting cottage-style gardens are bordered by low hedgerows or open edges, blending seamlessly into the surrounding countryside and supporting abundant wildlife. Mature trees and planting are dotted throughout, complemented by a summerhouse and a solid brick-built outbuilding, ideal as a home office, studio, or occasional overflow accommodation.
