Heathfield Cottage is a well‑kept four‑bedroom period home set on about 0.35 acres within the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Ground floor living is traditional and comfortable, with a large sitting room centred on a wood‑burning stove, separate dining room and a kitchen that opens onto a paved terrace and south‑east facing garden. The plot is long, private and heavily planted with mature hedging and specimen trees, giving a strong sense of seclusion and attractive countryside views.
The house offers clear scope to upgrade or extend (subject to planning) for buyers seeking extra living space or a modernised country home. Ancillary space includes a summer room, double garage and driveway parking; the garden is flat and usable, suitable for landscaping, play space or ancillary outbuildings — though large mature trees could constrain roofline extensions without arboricultural input.
Practical points are straightforward: the property is freehold, not in a flood risk area, and lies close to village amenities, good local schools and outdoor leisure such as walking and cycling. Commuter links to Guildford and London are reasonable by road and rail, making this a sensible choice for families wanting countryside living within reach of transport.
Buyers should note a few material drawbacks: broadband speeds are reported as very slow, council tax is described as quite expensive, and any significant alterations will require planning consent. Overall, Heathfield Cottage will suit purchasers who value privacy, mature grounds and period character and who are prepared to invest in updating or modest extension to realise its full potential.
