4 bed bungalow for sale

New Way, Godalming GU7

Nestled at the end of a peaceful lane conveniently located for central Godalming, this unique and deceptively spacious four-bedroom, single-storey cottage is steeped in character and rich in history. Once a groom-s cottage and stable dating back to the early 19th century, it has evolved over time into a distinctive home that retains a wealth of period charm, while offering modern comfort and privacy. The property is not listed, allowing more flexibility for future changes, yet it retains original features such as exposed beams, an open wood fire, traditional latch doors, and a natural water source in the form of a working Victorian water pump which is 15ft deep. Sympathetically extended in the 1970s to add the kitchen and bathroom, with further planning permission granted in the 1990s, it now provides over 1,300 sq. Ft. Of accommodation and sits within a delightfully private garden setting. From the moment you arrive, the cottage charms, brick-paved frontage which provides designated private parking for one car, apple and fig trees, and pretty planters. The welcoming kitchen sits at the heart of the home, fitted with classic white cabinetry, Swedish vinyl flooring, and opening onto a small courtyard area ideal for morning coffee. A separate utility room features a pantry, airing cupboard, and access to loft space, ensuring plenty of storage. Flowing from the kitchen is a family room with oak wood-effect laminate flooring, perfect for casual living, while a separate living room, also with oak-effect flooring, adds further versatile space. The conservatory, currently used as a home office/workspace, enjoys tranquil views out to the rear garden. The accommodation includes four bedrooms, most of which are en suite, offering comfort and privacy for residents and guests alike. One of the bedrooms enjoys a double aspect loft space above, ideal for storage or future conversion. A flexible room, currently a study or occasional guest room, adds further potential as a hobby or dressing room.
