Built circa 1540 and lovingly restored, Penny Cottage is a detached period home of exceptional character, located in the picturesque Surrey village of Westcott. Once known as Jeaters, the cottage was renamed in 1971 to mark Decimalisation Day and now presents a rare blend of heritage and contemporary living.
The property retains a wealth of original features, including exposed beams and fireplaces, while offering modern comforts such as underfloor heating, bi-fold doors, PV solar and heating solar panels. The ground floor includes a welcoming living room and a charming dining room—both in the original part of the home—alongside a generous kitchen/breakfast room that serves as the heart of the house, with oak framing, modern appliances, and access to the garden. There is also a separate utility room and a family bathroom.
A striking helical staircase rises to a first-floor study with views toward Ranmore, making it an ideal work-from-home space. The first floor also houses a principal bedroom with vaulted ceiling and en suite shower room, alongside a guest bedroom.
Outside, the garden is designed in a coastal-inspired Dungeness style with mature planting and space for entertaining. There are two parking spaces, side access, and a large garage/workshop with power.
