AN EXCEPTIONAL CHARMING GRADE II LISTED PERIOD HOME LOCATED IN THE HEART OF ONE OF SURREY’S MOST SOUGHT AFTER VILLAGES ............

Holly Cottage is a charming and exceptionally pretty attached, historic Grade II listed, period village home, occupying an important position within the heart of Brockham, close to the village green and directly opposite the village church. The property we understand originally dates back to the 17th century and has been subsequently enlarged over the years and has all the classic hallmarks of a fine period property, including exposed oak beams, delightful cottage windows and doors, fireplaces and a general sense of timeless charm, so typical of the English country cottage. The accommodation briefly includes the inviting and impressive reception hall, a magnificent drawing room of excellent proportions and elegant in style and a charming sitting room, which acts a lovely snug with an original inglenook fireplace, now housing a wood burning stove. The kitchen/dining room has been beautifully updated with a range of quality kitchen furniture, a central AGA and complimented by granite worksurfaces and enjoying a lovely aspect over the garden. Completing the ground floor accommodation there is a useful utility room, store room,
laundry and cloakroom. The original oak staircase leads to the first floor, the main bedroom is double aspect with a recently fitted luxurious en-suite bathroom and a separate dressing room. The second bedroom is a superb sized room, which offers possibilities of a variety of uses including a teenagers’ recreation room, studio, home office or party room. There are two further good-sized bedrooms served by a family bathroom. The grounds are a particularly attractive feature of Holly Cottage, having been meticulously maintained over many years and laid out in a traditional English country cottage style, providing an excellent degree of seclusion thanks to numerous established shrubs and trees, immaculate lawns and cultivated established flowerbeds and borders. The current owner enlarged the courtyard/sun terrace, which now makes a great entertaining and seating area, where one can enjoy the fine aspect over the grounds. The village church can be glimpsed from many parts of the gardens, providing a delightful backdrop. There is a gated driveway accessed from Wheelers Lane that provides parking and leads to the integral garage. In all, the grounds extend to approximately ¼ of an acre.
