DESCRIBED by property expert Sarah Beeny as being 'a jewel in the undergrowth', 1 Pound Cottage is a real gem and occupies a wonderful position within the village Hascombe, long admired as one of the Surrey Hills most picturesque locations.

The cottage was originally constructed in 1610 with what was the most commonly used material at the time, local Bargate stone. Over the last six years an extensive restoration project has taken place at the original cottage, as well as a substantial extension to create an exceptional home.

Such was the attention to detail and material choice, 1 Pound Cottage was nominated by Waverley Borough Council for a design award in 2007.

The kitchen area has a range of Shaker-style units with an oil-fired Aga and appliance space and there is sandstone tiled flooring with water-based underfloor heating, which extends throughout the ground floor to include the downstairs cloakroom.

The sitting room has a charming inglenook fireplace with an original bread oven. Adjoining is a study/office which again has a fireplace.

Stairs from the kitchen lead to a landing area with additional storage and in turn leads to four lovely bedrooms with the master featuring an en suite shower room complete with period style sanitary ware and under floor heating.

Bedroom two has built-in wardrobes and double aspect views out over the garden. The family bathroom is equally impressive and comes complete with a magnificent French double ended limited edition handmade copper bath with external mixer taps, slate floors and more under-floor heating. Leaded light lattice multipane windows can be seen in the two bedrooms to the front of the property.

The property is on the market at a guide price of £695,000. For more information, contact Burns & Webber Godalming on 01483 427101 or email godalming@burnsandwebber.com.
