Old Farm Cottage was originally two cottages, forming part of an old dairy farm in Oxted town. Full of character, the appealing elevations are of original local ragstone and brick all under a tile roof. Over the years the two cottages have been linked, with the addition of a contemporary, vaulted ceiling kitchen. The resulting property offers wonderful potential for multi-generational living, with flexible space arranged in the main, over a single storey. With room to grow, there are three garages/store rooms within the footprint of the house, which may offer further opportunity to extend the living space, subject to the usual consents.
Approached over a private drive and a cobbled courtyard, the cottage has parking for several vehicles in addition to two large garages. Cleverly arranged for maximum flexibility, the major part of the cottage has two reception rooms, three bedrooms and two bathrooms linked to the kitchen and dining area. A small enclosed courtyard gives access from the cottage to the garage and offers a quiet suntrap in which to cultivate pots or relax in. Filled with light from the full height barn style Oak framed windows and a stable door, the split level kitchen features a wonderful original exposed stone wall, adding to the historic character of the cottage. From the entrance hall, the first reception room is arranged as a dining or play area, having two deep cupboards and a small hatch which leads to the cellar. From this room, a raised seating area, designed for reading, has French doors that open onto the courtyard. To the other side of the dining/play area, wide steps lead up into the kitchen. Fitted with a range of attractive high gloss cabinets with Oak work surfaces the kitchen/dining area has fitted appliances including a double oven, electric induction hob, washer/dryer and a dishwasher. There is space for an American style fridge/freezer. On the other side of the kitchen are another two rooms, currently used as a bedroom and an office. These in turn lead to another garage/store room, all of which could be easily utilised as a granny/teen suite with. From the storeroom there is a ‘secret’ door which opens onto white painted steps, rising to the top garden terrace which was the old orchard and where ancient apple and quince trees still remain. To the other side of the kitchen the two reception rooms are inter connected with the sitting room having a delightful dual aspect and doors out to the garden. Two of the bedrooms are accessed from here , along with one of the bathrooms and separate W.C. The remaining bathroom is off the hall and the forth bedroom is on the first floor.
Outside, the cottage is set into the old ragstone wall, which wraps around the garden, providing a secluded, sheltered idyll in which to enjoy the sunny plot. Predominately laid to lawn the garden has paved terraces around the cottage. Planting includes mature trees, flowering shrubs and herbaceous borders. A further parking area was created by the current owners, just off the drive, on the site of an old garage which was demolished. Should more garaging or a home office building be required, this may be possible subject to planning.
