5 bedroom detached house for sale

Style Cottage is the most enchanting grade II listed house that is understood to have originally started life as a pair of Hall Houses in the early 16th century and which is mentioned in Pevsner. The house has most latterly been extended in the 20th century and now provides a very flexible village house full of character.
Throughout are a wealth of wall and ceiling beams, beautiful oak flooring and an array of working fireplaces. Of note in one of the bathrooms is the very visible smoke bay that forms a huge feature
in this room. Steps from the ground floor lead down to the cellar which has been used by our clients for the storage of wine.
To the back of the house is a substantial two-storey barn that offers huge potential, subject to obtaining the usual planning consent.
Style cottage now offers a buyer a fabulous opportunity to 'place their mark' on a charming village house so accessible to the A3 and the excellent surrounding schools.
To the front of the house is the triple car barn-style garage.
To the rear is the detached barn with storage on the ground floor and an excellent studio
room above.
Style Cottage is approached into a gravel driveway that swings around to the front of the garaging, providing extensive parking. The front is laid to lawn, abutted by well-stocked flower borders. To the rear is a private terrace with steps leading up to the lawn beyond interspersed with a variety of fruit frees. Beyond the barn is less formal gardens laid to grass.
On the southern side is the paddockland that extends down to the River Wey having frontage of over 170 metres. In addition, is a pond. This area can either be enjoyed in its current form as amenity/parkland or for the grazing of livestock.
Our clients will consider selling the property with less land.

The ancient and historic hamlets of Upper and Lower Eashing, in the parish of Shackleford, straddle the River Wey, six miles south of Guildford and are notable for the number of listed historic buildings in the area. Records of a mill in Eashing date from the Domesday Book and it has been used to produce flour, paper and flock. It then became the home of a local engineering company, before the site was finally redeveloped in 1998 as offices. The National Trust river bridge at Eashing is believed to have been built by the monks of Waverley Abbey in the 13th Century. The popular Stag on the River pub is close by.
Eashing enjoys a particularly convenient situation, having ready access to the A3 between London and the South Coast and via the M25 at Wisley, also links to Heathrow and Gatwick airports. Local facilities include a wonderful garage with shop in Lower Eashing and an excellent farm shop at Milford, less than a mile away.
