3 bed detached house for sale

Brook Road, Sandhills, Godalming, Surrey GU8

Sand Cottage is a pretty grade II listed cottage that is believed to date back to the 15th century with later additions. The most recent extension was built in the 1990s, incorporating the study/family room with the bedroom suite above.
Even though the cottage has been enlarged over the years, so much of the work has been done in sympathy with the original parts. Today the house is full of extensive oak wall and ceiling beams, oak windows and doors, plus an oak staircase. Two of the principal reception rooms have fireplaces with wood burning stoves and enjoy an outlook over the gardens.
On the first floor there are good ceiling heights, which are part vaulted.
Sand Cottage provides an incoming buyer the opportunity to purchase a historic cottage, in a sought-after location, with the potential still to 'place their mark' on it.
Outbuildings

Adjacent to the house is the garaging and adjoining store that houses the filtration equipment for the swimming pool. A staircase leads up to the storeroom/office above.

Gardens

Sand Cottage is approached into a driveway that leads down to the cottage and garage. To the front, there is a brick pathway that leads down to the original front door. This is adjoined by expanses of lawn bordered by flower and shrub borders.
The gardens lie principally to the rear of the cottage, providing an excellent degree of privacy surrounded by high hedging. Abutting the back of the house is a paved terrace and discretely tucked away is the heated swimming pool area, abutting the pergola and pool/garden room.
