Markwick Lane, Loxhill, Godalming, GU8 4BE

Set in an elevated rural position on the southern edge of Hascombe, this charming cottage enjoys a peaceful outlook while remaining within easy reach of Godalming, Cranleigh and Guildford, with excellent road and rail links nearby for commuters.

Dating from around 1910, the property is full of warmth and character, with exposed beams, quarry tiles, pine doors and open fireplaces all contributing to its period appeal.

The sitting room centres on an impressive inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove, while the kitchen retains its original ceiling beams and features painted units with granite work surfaces.

A generous utility/boot room, added during the 2001 extension, provides excellent everyday space and could also work well as a study.

Upstairs, three bedrooms and a family bathroom enjoy lovely views across the surrounding countryside. Each room continues the cottage’s character, built-in storage and thoughtful detailing.

The principal bedroom includes a charming window seat, perfectly placed to take in the wonderful rural surroundings. Outside, the property includes a timber shed and two brick garden stores.

Parking for three cars on the inclined driveway, with extra level parking located at the bottom of the driveway adjacent to the lane.

The gardens are a real highlight, colourful, layered and backing onto farmland on two sides. A series of lawned levels lead up to a wisteriaclad pergola, perfectly positioned to take in the outlook.
