This historic property, believed to have originated in the 1600s as two separate cottages for farming families, has been thoughtfully converted into a single residence known as Markwick Cottage. Spanning approximately 2487 sq ft (231 sq m), it showcases a unique blend of period features and modern living elements. The striking Bargate stone façade is adorned with wisteria, adding to its charm. The expansive grounds, covering three-quarters of an acre, provide stunning views and include well-maintained gardens along with a double-width garage and extensive outbuildings totaling around 586 sq ft (231 sq m). Nestled in a semi-rural setting, the property offers tranquility while remaining conveniently close to the amenities of Godalming and Cranleigh.
Inside, this home boasts flexible accommodation ideal for family life or entertaining. Its generous layout presents opportunities for personalization and modernization. The main entrance leads into a spacious lobby while an additional entryway opens into a snug with a decorative fireplace, which connects to what could be used as either a dining room or additional sitting area.
A versatile reception room provides options for various uses—such as a formal lounge or home office—and includes an en-suite shower room, enhancing its potential for conversion into ground floor living space. The centrally located kitchen/breakfast area features traditional wood-fronted units and an Aga, complemented by a walk-in larder and utility room.
Upstairs, the layout comprises four bedrooms, two of which benefit from en-suite bathrooms. A third bedroom connects through a dressing room to another bathroom, offering adaptable living arrangements that cater to individual preferences.
The external areas are particularly appealing with established gardens bordered by mature shrubbery for added privacy. Accessible via a five-bar gate, the grounds are perfect for outdoor entertaining or quiet reflection. The property also includes substantial outbuildings that could serve various functions depending on your needs.
Markwick Cottage is not just a home; it's an investment opportunity rich in character and history awaiting your personal touch in one of the South East's desirable locations.
