Set on Buckland Green, this 15th‑century Grade II listed cottage blends authentic period character with a large, private garden and pond. The house is offered chain free and sits in a quiet village location with easy access to Reigate and Dorking; it suits buyers wanting a countryside lifestyle within commuting distance of London.
Internally the property retains exposed beams, original fireplaces and an expansive principal bedroom accessed via a second stairwell, giving a rare split‑wing layout and strong room proportions. The kitchen/dining area forms a practical family hub and there are two bathrooms on the ground floor, adding everyday convenience.
The garden is a standout feature: mature planting, a large lawn, a summer house and a pond create a tranquil outdoor retreat with scope for landscaping or informal entertaining. The village setting puts National Trust walks, local shops and well‑regarded schools close by, while transport links to Reigate, Dorking, the M25 and Gatwick remain straightforward.
Important practical points: listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate renovation; the property’s solid brick walls are likely uninsulated and double glazing was installed before 2002. Council tax is described as expensive. This home is best suited to buyers prepared to sensitively update and maintain a historic building rather than those seeking a fully modern, low‑maintenance property.
