3 bed cottage for sale

Grayshott, Hindhead, Hampshire GU26

Peace and tranquillity in abundance. A detached three bedroom cottage believed to have 16th century origins within grounds of approx. 0.85 acres in a rural woodland setting on the fringe of Grayshott and Churt villages. Offered with no onward chain.

This spacious cottage has been extended to provide flexible accommodation arranged over different levels, but at it’s core are the origins of a 16th century dwelling we believe, likely to have formed part of the Bull’s Farm Estate.

The cottage is situated on a quiet rural lane linking the villages of Grayshott and Churt, with mature hedging and double gates offering a high degree of privacy.

Beyond the double gates is a sizeable driveway leading up to a detached double garage and the property itself.

The front door opens into a welcoming hallway where the master bedroom can immediately be found to the left; this double aspect master bedroom benefits from a charming bay window looking out onto the grounds, built in wardrobes and an en suite shower room.

A small set of steps takes you into an inner hallway and the oldest part of the cottage, including access to the loft and a small cellar.

There are three reception rooms. A lovely formal dual aspect sitting room with a feature fireplace housing a wood burning stove and door onto a side garden, a rear aspect study and a large dining room with an ornamental fireplace.

Beyond this are a double aspect kitchen and utility room. The kitchen benefits from a range of built in cupboard storage with integrated dishwasher, oven and grill and Neff induction hob. There is space for a breakfast table with a side door allowing garden access.

At the other end of the cottage are a cloakroom and dual aspect double bedroom with en suite bathroom and walk in closet. Finally there is an additional 1st floor bedroom with vaulted ceiling and built in wardrobes.

The grounds of Holly Cottage are exceptional. Whilst offering a high degree of privacy, there is also a lovely distant rural view over Whitmore Vale, in addition to the views you enjoy over your own land, which measures approx. 0.85 acres. The grounds are mainly laid to lawn over two deep terraces, interspersed with mature trees, shrubs and spring bulbs, with a patio/terrace to either side of the cottage. There is a double garage at the end of the driveway, adjacent to which is an old stable block, this has been partially converted to provide two store/workshop areas either side of a garden room/home study. This offers further opportunity to develop into ancillary or annex accommodation if desired subject to the usual constraints.
