A particularly attractive period cottage Grade II listed as being of historical and architectural importance, located in the picturesque village of Plaistow with its beautiful scenery and thriving local community. The cottage has an interesting history and according to the Domestic Building Research Group was a 3-Bay Medieval Hall House dating from around 1500. The property boasts many original features, including exposed beams, brickwork and fireplaces which add to its charm and character. The house has a triple aspect drawing room with an inglenook fireplace and exposed brickwork, perfect for relaxing; a large entrance hall with impressive inglenook fireplace, and a double aspect dining room perfect for entertaining. The kitchen/breakfast room has all the usual appliances and a door opening onto the rear garden. All rooms have been tastefully decorated to compliment the character of the property.

The property has several useful outbuildings, including a double length garage, a detached single garage which offers the potential to be converted (subject to planning) which would make an ideal home office, workshop or even additional living accommodation, garden store and a greenhouse.

The garden is a true oasis and has been designed in a charming cottage style, with a mix of formal and informal planting arrangements. The garden has been well-maintained with neatly trimmed lawns and a variety of seating areas that offer the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the surroundings.

Parking is offered by way of two detached garages and ample off road parking.


School Cottage is situated in the heart of the sought after village of Plaistow next to the village Church of St John.

Plaistow is a thriving village on the Surrey/West Sussex border and is home to a highly-regarded primary school, a quintessential village green, a church, public house, communal tennis courts, an active village hall and excellent village shop.

More comprehensive shopping facilities are available in the nearby towns of Godalming; Haslemere, Midhurst and Petworth, as well as the county town of Guildford, which is easily accessed via the A3. Haslemere mainline station, which is a short drive away, provides services into London Waterloo in approximately 56 minutes.
