Broome Cottage is an impressive and substantial period village house of grand proportions and enjoys a wonderfully established location in the heart of this historic Surrey village. The property offers a feeling of light and space throughout enjoying reception rooms with high ceilings. There is a sense of timeless elegance and charm so typical of an English country property with many of the rooms enjoying a fine aspect over the established gardens. The generous sized reception hall gives access to the three principal reception rooms and in
addition to the sitting room which is connected to the kitchen/breakfast room – this makes for a very comfortable and informal ‘family hub ‘to the house. From the kitchen/breakfast room access leads to the utility room with independent access to the garden. From the reception hall an elegant easy rising staircase leads to an impressive galleried first floor landing giving access to all six bedrooms together with the family bathroom and the separate shower room. The main bedroom suite is particularly spacious and benefits from fine views over the grounds. There is in addition a sizeable attic room and cellar. The property which has been in the ownership of the current family since 1981 offers scope for a new incoming owner to put their own ‘stamp’ on this charming period home. The grounds, which enjoy a south/south westerly aspect, have been superbly maintained over the years being laid to lawn with numerous well stocked flower/shrub beds and borders, mature trees and a paved sun terrace to the south westerly side of the house. The swimming pool is located discreetly tucked away to the west side of the garden by virtue of an established hedge, together with the garden greenhouse. The long driveway leads to a turning circle and parking area. Separately there is a timber back gate for use in emergencies and the double garage is accessed by driving round the house. The grounds which extend to approximately 0.82 of an acre compliment the house perfectly.
