5 bed detached house for sale

Petworth Road, Witley, Godalming, Surrey GU8

Woodcroft Cottage is a striking village house, that we understand dates back to the Regency period, located in the centre of Witley.
Our clients bought the house in 2010 and since have extended it on two sides, to create great family accommodation. On the ground floor are three reception rooms, some oak flooring and a fireplace in the sitting room. The kitchen/breakfast room is the heart of the house, with a pantry and boot room/utility room leading off, all overlooking the secluded gardens to the rear.
On the first floor there is now an excellent balance of bedrooms, with five bedrooms, two of which are en suite.
Outbuildings
Adjacent to the house is the garage which we are advised was reroofed in 2024.
Outside
The gardens are a feature of the property lying principally to the rear of the cottage on the westerly side. Abutting the rose clad, back of the house is the terrace with steps leading up to the lawn. The garden is bordered and protected by a high brick wall, providing a secure environment for children. Extending along the walls are well-stocked flower and shrub borders. Tucked in the northern corner is an old feature yew tree.
