Hilda Cottage is a well-presented, Grade II listed 4-bedroom detached cottage in the heart of Holmbury St Mary, set within the Surrey Hills AONB. The house combines genuine period character—exposed beams, key-and-latch doors and a brick fireplace—with modern comforts: a superb fitted kitchen, contemporary bathrooms and underfloor heating on the ground floor. Large gardens, mature planting and views over neighbouring fields give a strong sense of privacy and outdoor space.
Accommodation is adaptable and arranged over mixed single- and two-storey volumes. The principal suite occupies a dramatic pitched-roof space with exposed beams and a generous ensuite; two further double bedrooms and a refitted family bathroom occupy the first-floor wing, while a ground-floor double bedroom with ensuite and a useful utility/boot room add flexibility for guests or a home office. A detached garden studio provides additional hobby or workspace.
Practical benefits include a sweeping gated driveway with planning permission for a detached car port, fast broadband, very low flood risk and no TPOs on the plot. The cottage sits within a Conservation Area and is ideal for buyers who value village life, access to The Hurtwood’s footpaths and good independent and state schooling nearby.
Important considerations: the property’s Grade II listing will restrict alterations and could complicate further extensions or major works. Council tax is described as quite expensive; mobile signal is only average. Buyers should factor listed‑building consent requirements and potential maintenance of period fabric into their plans, despite the house being presented in excellent, newly renovated condition.
