Set within delightful gardens and grounds extending to about 4.75 acres in total, Glen Cottage is a charming and beautifully presented detached period home enjoying a picturesque rural setting with far reaching views over the Surrey countryside.
Having remained in the same ownership for over 27 years, the property has been thoughtfully and sympathetically modernised to create an elegant family home that successfully combines period character with modern comforts.
The property is approached via a five bar gate leading to a generous driveway providing parking for numerous vehicles. An attractive tile hung cottage, complemented by mature gardens of about 0.75 acres. The landscaped gardens feature established flower beds, mature hedging, an impressive oak tree and an attractive pond.
A charming entrance porch with side light windows leads into the reception hall, from which the principal reception rooms are accessed. The four reception rooms each benefit from attractive feature fireplaces, enhancing the cottage's character and warmth. The principal sitting room enjoys views over the front garden and features tiled flooring, together with double doors opening through to the kitchen and dining area, creating an excellent flow for both family living and entertaining.
The heart of the home is the impressive kitchen/dining room, fitted with an extensive range of shaker style cabinetry complemented by granite work surfaces and a ceramic tiled floor. A traditional Redfyre oil fired range cooker sits within a striking brick inglenook fireplace, providing a wonderful focal point. A wealth of windows floods the room with natural light, while doors open onto the terrace, offering an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining.
Adjoining the kitchen is a practical utility room, fitted with additional cabinetry, granite worktops and a Butler sink, together with a door providing direct access to the garden.
The dining room overlooks the rear garden, whilst the additional reception room and family room enjoy pleasant views to the side of the property. A separate cloakroom/WC completes the ground floor accommodation.
Arranged over the first floor are four bedrooms and a notably spacious family bathroom, beautifully appointed with Chadder & Co sanitary ware, a separate shower and bath, and an attractive fireplace. Bedrooms two and three benefit from built-in wardrobes. The generous principal bedroom enjoys dual aspect views across the surrounding countryside and is enhanced by Velux windows and useful eaves storage. It is served by a beautifully appointed en suite bathroom.
Outside, the gardens provide a wonderful backdrop to the cottage, with a terrace adjoining the kitchen creating an excellent space for relaxing and entertaining. Beyond the formal gardens lies a paddock of approximately 4 acres, offering considerable versatility and benefitting from its own independent vehicular access. There is also a timber outbuilding, previously utilised as a stable, making the property particularly appealing to those with equestrian or hobby farming interests.
