We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Guide Price £1,100,000 - £1,200,000 It is exceptionally rare for a home of this calibre to come to market.
Set on approximately 0.6 acres of private, picturesque grounds, this grand Georgian-style cottage offers an extraordinary blend of period charm, spacious living, and modern comfort — a true hidden gem in one of Cobham’s most desirable locations.
Dating back around 150 years, the property has evolved beautifully over time, with a sympathetic double side extension added around 45 years ago and a more recent extension, about 10 years ago, creating the showstopping kitchen and dining area.
From the moment you arrive, the home’s elegant façade and mature surroundings set it apart. A sweeping driveway provides off-road parking for 8–10 cars, with potential to extend further if required.
Inside, over 3,000 sq. ft. (281.7 sq. m) of living space awaits — full of character yet thoughtfully modernised for today’s lifestyle.
A welcoming porch opens into a grand entrance hall, setting a tone of understated elegance.
The main lounge impresses with its dual-aspect sash windows, flooding the room with natural light and showcasing the home’s Georgian proportions.
A second reception room offers flexible use as a snug, playroom, or formal sitting room. There’s also a dedicated office, a boot room, and a downstairs WC for convenience.
At the heart of the home lies the large kitchen/diner — a beautiful and social space featuring a bespoke Howdens fitted kitchen, central island with gas hob, and room for a snug or breakfast area.
French doors lead out to a charming courtyard, perfect for morning coffee or evening gatherings.
The utility room adds further practicality, and the property also benefits from a cellar offering additional storage. Upstairs, the sense of space continues with four generous double bedrooms.
The master suite includes a stylish ensuite bathroom, while the family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.
A boarded and insulated loft provides further useful space and potential for storage or conversion (subject to permissions).
Outside, the grounds are a delight — private yet open, with three workshops, a vegetable patch, and stunning lawns and borders framed by countryside views.
Despite its generous scale, the garden feels tranquil and manageable — a perfect balance between grandeur and comfort.
The home is warmed by gas central heating, with a relatively new boiler that has been regularly serviced, ensuring efficiency and peace of mind, and it also features solar panels to help reduce energy costs.
Notably, this property is not listed, offering scope for further development or personalisation should you wish to make it your own.
Perfectly positioned close to village amenities and excellent travel links into London, this home offers an enviable lifestyle — rural elegance with everyday convenience.
Such opportunities are extraordinarily rare. This Georgian-style gem on Sole Street represents a chance to own something truly special.
