Castle Cottage enjoys a wonderfully unspoilt rural location between the villages of Ockley and Forest Green. Offered for sale for the first time in over thirty years, it provides a rare opportunity to acquire a fine period home in this much sought after position in the Surrey Hills. The property is Grade II listed and dates originally to the late 16th Century. The majority of the rooms have lovely views of the gardens and the surrounding countryside and there is a wealth of period features evident throughout together with modern touches.
Castle Cottage has a practical layout for family living. A generously sized porch connects to the kitchen, which is open plan to the family room- a comfortable space with stunning aspect over the garden and French doors to the sun terrace. The kitchen is well equipped with handmade units from WG Clifton of Lockwood, and features an electric AGA. The characterful dining room also links to the kitchen, as does the utility and cloakroom. The sitting room, a delightful room with large inglenook fireplace, also has doors to the garden and connects to the study area. The generous ceiling height for a property of this age adds to the light open feel. On the first floor there is a spacious landing giving access to four good sized bedrooms, family shower room, and en-suite
bathroom to bedroom two. Bedroom three features a unique mezzanine area historically referred to as a “crog loft”.
The grounds are a delight, complementing the cottage perfectly. Facing south west, the gardens, comprising
sun terrace, formal lawns and established flower beds, adjoin the two paddocks. Mature trees add to the glorious setting. Outbuildings include the double garage, stable block (two stables, and tack room currently used as an additional garage), workshop, and garden store. A generous drive with double gates to Mole Street, provides parking and turning for several vehicles. Additional access gate to rear paddock from Pisley Lane. The grounds extend to approximately 3.51 acres.
SEPARATE ANNEXE
Commissioned by the current owners and designed by a
long-standing local architect this is a most useful and versatile asset to Castle Cottage. The design brief was to utilise quality materials such as oak and clay tiles so as to complement the main house. It is an attractive building in its own right and very much in harmony with Castle Cottage. Not only is there the obvious option for additional accommodation, the opportunity to use the cottage as a home office or studio will be appealing for many potential buyers.
