Set on a large, private plot in the sought-after village of Gomshall, Downland Cottage is a detached four-bedroom chalet bungalow offering comfortable family living across two levels. The ground floor centers on an open-plan kitchen and dining area with contemporary fittings and a generous living room that opens via a conservatory to the rear garden. Two ground-floor bedrooms, a family bathroom with walk-in shower, and a practical laundry room complete the level.
Upstairs provides two further bedrooms, including a spacious principal bedroom and a second bedroom with garden views, plus a well-appointed second bathroom with a freestanding bath. The layout suits families who want flexible space for children, guests, or a home office. Natural light and the conservatory help connect the interior with the extensive, mature rear garden which offers private, multi-zone outdoor living and scope for gardening or children's play.
Practical features include off-street parking, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, filled cavity walls, and double glazing already installed (pre-2002). The property is chain-free, positioned close to Gomshall station with direct links to Guildford, Dorking and Gatwick, and sits within easy reach of local shops, pubs and highly regarded schools in the surrounding area.
Buyers should note some trade-offs: broadband speeds are slow which may affect remote working, and the glazing was installed before 2002 so replacement may be considered for enhanced efficiency. Council tax is described as quite expensive. Overall, this home combines period charm and modernised living on a generous plot in a quiet, affluent village — appealing to families seeking space, privacy and good transport links.
