Detached house for sale in Petworth Road, Witley, Godalming, Surrey GU8

Crossways Cottage is a very pretty grade II listed cottage that we understand dates back to the 17th century, with 20th century additions.

The cottage has so much character, including a wealth of exposed wall and ceiling beams, oak doors and an inglenook fireplace in the sitting room. In addition are fireplaces in the family room and bedroom one. Whilst our clients have already undertaken a number of improvements, there is still further scope to adapt it to the buyer's needs.

There is an excellent range of period outbuildings opposite the cottage comprising garaging, stables and storerooms. Of note are the original stalls and mangers and the central storeroom has in the past been used as an office.

Crossways Cottage is approached off Mill Lane into a gravelled driveway, that leads through a gated entrance up to the house and outbuildings. To the rear of the cottage there is a terrace with steps leading up to the lawn. The gardens are principally laid to lawn with a central covered terrace area. Dotted around the gardens are mature trees including flowering cherry, yew, oaks and a silver birch, plus flower and shrub borders. The western boundary is defined by a new close boarded fence and on the eastern side the gardens have an outlook over the adjoining fields.
