3 bed detached house for sale

Sandhills, Godalming, Surrey GU8

Full of character and tucked away in a prized position on leafy Sebastopol Lane, this captivating Grade II listed cottage instantly enchants with its chocolate box charm. Externally, its distinctive black timber beams and red brick elevations tell a story of centuries past, while inside original details such as exposed wall and ceiling beams, latched doors and a feature fireplace are balanced by tasteful modern updates to offer the best of both worlds.

The picturesque sitting room centres around a wood burning stove and radiates cottage charm, with its deep-set windows, traditional beams, and welcoming atmosphere. A central dining room acts as a heart to the home, connecting the living areas with the beautifully styled kitchen/breakfast room. Thoughtfully designed to maximise both light and functionality, the kitchen pairs sleek cabinetry with Zena Quartz worktops, a butler sink, and a range cooker. Bi fold doors frame views of the garden and invite effortless indoor/outdoor living. A separate utility room and cloakroom add further practicality.

A third reception room is currently used as a study, but offers flexibility to serve as a snug, library or even occasional guest space, depending on your lifestyle needs.

Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms retain the home’s period soul with exposed beams and quirky angles, giving each room a distinct personality. The principal bedroom benefits from its own dressing room and en suite WC, while the chic family bathroom is a sanctuary in itself, complete with a freestanding clawfoot bathtub, marble-style tiles and contemporary fittings.

Outside
The gardens are a real highlight of the home. Lovingly landscaped, they wrap around the cottage and offer various seating areas to enjoy the sun throughout the day. A large upper lawn includes an established kitchen garden, ornamental planting, and plenty of space for relaxation or entertaining. A stone-walled terrace directly outside the kitchen is the ideal place for morning coffee or al fresco dining, while a further paved area at the front provides a quiet, more secluded seating spot.

Privately screened by tall hedging and mature trees, the setting is tranquil yet convenient—giving you a sense of countryside calm. A gravel driveway and gated entrance complete the picture.
