20 Scotland Lane, Haslemere, GU27 3AL

Dove Cottage is a beautifully renovated mid-terraced cottage, one of just four original homes built on Scotland Lane in the 1850s.

It has been extensively and sympathetically refurbished and extended, so it feels like a new build behind a period façade, with original character alongside new services, high-quality fittings and excellent energy efficiency.

It sits in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, close to protected woodland and National Trust parkland, yet only a short distance from the town, the mainline station and the A3 to London.

Properties on Scotland Lane rarely come to market, and Haslemere is a highly sought-after school catchment area. A new bay window and enclosed, tiled porch welcome you in.

The sitting room is warm and full of character, with exposed beams and a hand-made natural stone fireplace housing a Jøtul wood burner in a fully lined chimney.

Farrow & Ball and Little Greene eco paints create a soft, timeless backdrop throughout.

At the rear, the extension provides a bright kitchen and dining space that is ideal for family life and entertaining.

The fitted Wren kitchen has soft-close cabinetry, solid 30mm quartz-granite worktops, a central island with breakfast bar, and a professional range cooker with electric oven and five-burner gas hob.

It also has a Quooker hot tap and integrated A++ rated appliances, including a fridge/freezer, dishwasher, combination microwave and washer-dryer.

Limestone flooring with wet underfloor heating runs underfoot, and two electric remote-controlled Velux windows flood the space with natural light.

French doors open onto the garden, and a cloakroom with butler sink unit and WC completes the ground floor.

Upstairs are two bedrooms, both with new carpets, neutral décor and built-in wardrobes, and a rear dormer extension adds light and space.

The bathroom is finished with full tiling, electric underfloor heating and built-in shelving.

It has a freestanding roll-top bath, a thermostatic mixer shower, WC and basin, a heated towel rail and an electric Velux window.

A new loft ladder leads to a fully insulated loft, and radiators upstairs are controlled, like the rest of the heating, by a Honeywell Bluetooth thermostat.

Outside, a new gravel driveway provides off-road parking for three cars, a real luxury so close to the town centre.

The landscaped, terraced rear garden includes an enlarged private patio with retaining walls and fencing, perfect for alfresco dining, with an external power supply and outside taps at the front and back.

A garden shed provides additional storage. The work was carried out with planning approval from Waverley Borough Council (wa/2017/0511 and wa/2017/1170).

It includes new gas, electric and water services from the main road, a full rewire with a new fuse board and energy-efficient lighting, and a new Worcester Bosch combi boiler.

The solid wood double-glazed windows and doors by TimberWindows are guaranteed for 10 years.

The property has also been re-plastered, re-rendered and insulated throughout, with new guttering and fascias, a re-tiled rear roof and a rebuilt chimney.

This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Haslemere's history, ready to move straight into.
