This property presents a remarkable opportunity for renovation, set within an expansive 1.4 acres of formal gardens and natural woodland adjacent to a stream, nestled in the scenic Golden Valley area. Located on a rural road that connects the quaint villages of Churt and Grayshott, the cottage enjoys a secluded position yet remains conveniently close to local amenities. The south-facing gardens are diverse, featuring lawns, patios, an orchard, and direct access to Barford stream, making it an ideal canvas for landscaping projects.
The property boasts two separate driveway entrances with ample parking space leading to a detached double garage and an additional workshop with loft potential. Inside, the layout includes a welcoming entrance hall leading to spacious reception rooms—a dining room with wood-burning stove and patio doors to the garden, along with a triple-aspect sitting room that captures sunlight throughout the day. The kitchen is functional but could benefit from modernisation; it offers dual aspects and ample space for casual dining.
A versatile bonus room adds flexibility to the ground floor, serving as either a family room or an extra bedroom. On the first floor, three well-sized bedrooms provide comfortable living quarters serviced by a family bathroom. Additional storage is available in various cupboards throughout.
Numerous outbuildings enhance the property's functionality and present opportunities for expansion (subject to planning permission). The vast garden has been lovingly maintained over four decades but holds significant potential for further development or enhancement. With features such as mature shrubs, defined patio areas, multiple storage sheds, and summerhouses, this space is ripe for reimagining.
Nearby woodland walks offer picturesque trails leading into the expansive Golden Valley nature reserve. While currently comfortable, this property invites creative renovation ideas—whether updating interiors or reconfiguring spaces—to truly make it your own in this tranquil countryside setting.
