Substantial character home with large garden and barn potential for annex or conversion.
Spacious 4-bedroom detached cottage with historic stable origins
Osbrooks Cottage is a substantial detached country home set on just over half an acre on the edge of a popular Surrey village. The house blends original character — exposed beams, quarry tiled floors and an open hearth — with modern comforts including an air-source heat pump and underfloor heating. A large, south-west facing garden backs onto farmland and offers privacy, space for children and entertaining, plus a pond and covered arbour.
The layout works well for family life: a generous kitchen/dining room with AGA and bifold doors to the patio, a triple-aspect sitting room, a snug/family room within the converted barn space and a mezzanine/study that could serve as extra bedroom or annex. The main bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes, an en-suite and a balcony overlooking the rear garden. Parking is ample with a five-bar gated driveway and a detached double garage plus additional outbuildings.
There is meaningful potential and some material work to consider. A large unconverted barn (approx. 750 sqft) offers scope for conversion to additional living accommodation or ancillary income, subject to planning. One garage is currently used for storage. Heating is electric via an air-source heat pump with underfloor heating; while efficient, the property’s main fuel is electricity so prospective buyers should check tariffs and running costs. Council tax is noted as quite expensive.
Ideal for families seeking a rural lifestyle with space to adapt, Osbrooks suits buyers looking for a character home with modern systems and development potential. Its hamlet location provides peace and countryside views but reflects limited immediate public transport — useful for those prioritising privacy and outdoor living.
