About
A Charming 16th-Century Grade II Listed Cottage tucked away along a quiet country lane in Merstham, this enchanting detached 16th-century cottage offers a rare blend of historic character, privacy and rural tranquillity, all within easy reach of excellent transport links.
Set on just under an acre of beautifully mature grounds, the property sits well back from the road, approached via an in-and-out gravel driveway with ample parking and potential for an annexe or double garage, subject to the usual consents.
Steeped in history, the cottage showcases an abundance of exposed beams, original fireplaces, and charming architectural details throughout.
The original living area features a welcoming open fireplace, exposed timbers and direct access through to the fitted kitchen and dining area.
From here, a side door leads out to the wrap-around gardens, offering multiple seating areas and uninterrupted views across the grounds.
On the opposite side of the home, a stunning triple-aspect reception room provides exceptional versatility.
With multiple seating zones currently used as a home office, reading nook and main living area — all centred around a striking open log burner — this space is flooded with natural light and enjoys beautiful outlooks across the gardens.
Upstairs, the property offers three generous double bedrooms, each with ample storage.
The main bedroom benefits from a private ensuite bathroom, a hidden wardrobe area, and dual-aspect views over the surrounding landscape.
Thoughtfully modernised over the years, the cottage retains its historic charm while offering comfortable, functional living for modern life.
Despite its secluded feel, the property is less than 2 miles from Merstham train station, providing excellent links into London in under 30 minutes, as well as easy access to the North Surrey Downs and surrounding countryside.
This is a truly special home, rich in character, beautifully positioned, and offering exceptional potential in one of Merstham's most picturesque settings.
