The Old Cottage is a splendid, detached period home that is believed to have been built in 1679 and still has its original beams and inglenook fireplace and offers homely light-filled accommodation. The main reception room is the well proportioned drawing room with its grand fireplace and heavy timber ceiling beams. The dining room has an imposing inglenook fireplace, while there is also a comfortable family room. The kitchen provides plenty of storage in cream fitted units to base and wall level, granite (galaxy) work surface, Neff induction hob/oven and hood as well as integrated appliances and a breakfast bar, with the utility room providing further space for home storage and appliances. There are four bedrooms on the first floor, including the principal bedroom with its en suite bathroom and dressing room. The first floor also has a family shower room. Adjacent to the front door is à recently constructed, fully insulated and spacious Garden Office ideal for working from home in a comfortable and private environment

The cottage is accessed from the main road via a single-track private lane, where a gate offers access to the cottage and its paved driveway, which provides parking for several vehicles. The garden surrounding the cottage includes wellstocked border beds, an area of lawn to the rear, paved terracing, an ornamental pond, and a timberframed summer house.

The property is set in the popular Wood Street Village, just two and a half miles from Guildford town centre. Wood Street Village, with its pretty village green with the only surviving maypole in Surrey, has several everyday amenities including a post office, general store and two country pubs, with the locally acclaimed White Hart with its popular restaurant, nearby. For the equestrian, The Old Cottage is ideally situated with direct on to Broad Street Common. Cycle routes and scenic paths allow access to miles of countryside. For more extensive facilities, nearby Guildford offers an eclectic range of high street and independent shops, along with an abundance of coffee shops, restaurants and entertainment, including The Yvonne Arnaud Theatre, Electric Theatre and G Live. Outstanding sporting facilities are available at The Guildford Spectrum and Surrey Sports Park. There are several excellent schools in the immediate area, both in the state and private sector, which include Wood Street Infant School, Rydes Hill, Aldro, Charterhouse, Prior’s Field, Guildford County, Royal Grammar School, Tormead and Guildford High.

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on January 5, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
