6 bedroom house for sale

Overview

This 17th Century cottage set in generous private grounds needs to be seen to truly appreciate it's charm and beauty. Located in the heart of Headley, this handsome period cottage offers the perfect Surrey Hills setting.It is a genuine pleasure and privilege to be acting on behalf of the current owners of The Old Cottage, which as a home that dates back as far as 1662, offers a rare combination and opportunity within the beautiful Surrey Hills Hamlet of Headley. Set within its own private grounds of just under 3 acres and approached by a tree lined gravel drive and flanked by sweeping lawns, you immediately get the sense of the rare qualities of this home as you arrive, although it`s true to say that The Old Cottage hides many of it`s virtues , which only become clearer the longer you are there. The accommodation measures some 4750 sq ft in total, including a beautiful entrance hall/vestibule, cloakroom, kitchen/breakfast room, store room with secondary stairs leading to the first floor, utility room, dining room, study and conservatory, with an internal "link" with stairs leading to the indoor pool complex, with a boiler room, changing/shower facilities, and doors out to the rear garden. To the first floor the accommodation is split by two staircases, with the main staircase leading to a landing area , off of which is the main bedroom suite that includes a dressing room and en-suite shower room, bedroom 2, bedroom 6, bathroom, and separate WC, as well as access to bedroom 4. The secondary staircase leads to a small landing off of which are bedrooms 3 and 5 ( from which there is also access to bedroom 4).As a home that has it`s origins set firmly in the 17th Century, there is of course a wealth of charm and character that exudes from every turn and corner, with stunning inglenook and ornate fireplaces, to beamed ceilings, exposed brick walls, wood panelling, solid oak doors and frames, leaded lite windows and more besides. The current owners have been custodians for over 30 years, and will leave The Old Cottage in far better shape than they found it in, handing over the baton for the next chapter to be written.Amongst its greatest assets are the grounds in which the property lies, with a gravel, tree lined drive, sweeping lawns, formal rear gardens, and paddocks with views over Headley Church spire. Of course the relatively recent addition of the indoor swimming pool complex has added an extra dynamic to the overall offering of The Old Cottage, and all told the property brings a unique and rare opportunity to the market.Headley village has a very active community with Church, village stores, tea rooms and public house. Surrounded by extensive National Trust walks and situated within an area of outstanding natural beauty there are also many local riding stables as well as Tyrrells Wood, Epsom RAC Club, Walton Heath golf courses and Beaverbrook Country House Hotel & Golf Club.
