This peaceful cottage offers a unique combination - an idyllic rural setting down a short unmade track, adjacent to conservation woodland, and yet within ten minutes walking distance of Tesco and High Street shops and a 15-20min walk to Haslemere main line station. Fast, frequent trains to Waterloo (in 50 minutes) make this an ideal home for commuters, and it also offers good road access to the A3/A3(M) for those wishing to drive to London, Guildford or Portsmouth. Both Heathrow and Gatwick airports are equally accessible;, and the south coast is just over 20 miles away. The Herons leisure centre and swimming pool are just across the other side of Sturt Road. Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband make it ideal for home working too. There's ample car parking beside the cottage. Originally built to home workers at the local water mill means it remains free from water rates, a worthwhile cost saving.

The house is unfurnished but includes all kitchen appliances - dishwasher, washing machine, electric/gas range cooker, microwave and large fridge/freezer. Efficient gas central heating and full double-glazing.

It has attractive private gardens at the front and back, with the option to grow a few vegetables in a small bed if you wish. There are two lawns and a relaxing paved patio sheltered by a flowering cherry tree and overlooking a small brook in which fish can be watched (from your own wooden bridge!). Beyond the garden boundary are several acres of conservation woodland where deer are regularly seen - the last photo in our selection was shot from the bedroom window!

The house is economically heated by gas central heating, and comprises:

A bespoke fitted KITCHEN with solid oak worktop; the room measures 12'2 x 10'4 (3.71m x 3.15m) with a range cooker, fridge-freezer, washing machine, dishwasher and microwave, and plenty of storage;

A BATHROOM with unlimited hot water, heated towel rail, panelled bath, shower, washbasin, vintage style WC and timed extractor fan;

LOUNGE measuring 12'2 x 9'11 (3.71m x 3.02m) with gas central heating, built-in book shelving and cupboards, ample power points, and connections for TV and fast Internet.

Upstairs: First DOUBLE BEDROOM measuring 12'2 x 9'10 (3.71m x 3.0m) with central heating radiator with fitted carpet and overlooking gardens and woodland;

Second DOUBLE BEDROOM (or ideal as an office) measuring 12'2 x 10'5 (3.71m x 3.18m) with central heating radiator, over-stairs wardrobe and storage cupboard, and attractive woodland views.

SHED/WORKSHOP: a large lockable workshop/storage shed measuring 3.3m x 2.6m (over 10ft x 8ft) at the end of the garden, where you can store bikes and garden implements.

PARKING: There is free private parking for two cars right outside. Automatic lights come on as you arrive during the winter months.

The cottage is very economical to run, and in particular there are no water rates to pay, ever! This unusual feature means a considerable saving in cost, and is due to the cottages having been built originally for water company workers. The council tax is only band C, and the modern gas heating is very efficient.

RESTRICTIONS: Please note that no pets of any kind are allowed, nor any smokers, and it cannot be recommended for small toddlers due to the potential hazards of the the bridge and the stream.

LANDLORDS' FOOTNOTE: This note from earlier tenants confirms the way in which we try to help tenants in every way possible:

We immensely enjoyed living in the cottage… I'd like to thank you both for being such considerate, friendly and helpful landlords - we couldn't have wished for an easier couple of years renting with you. I know we will speak again but xxxxx and I would like to say a massive thank-you to you both – E. and S.

So remember - you will not be dealing with an impersonal agency, but directly with the owners, who are available to help at any time - including evenings and weekends.

AVAILABILITY: the house is available to let from 27 July.
