A beautiful detached country house of Georgian origins which was extended and extensively restored in 2015, retaining its classic looks at the front but with a contemporary extension at the rear.

Kingshott Cottage is accessed via an unmade private lane and is set in a lovely woodland clearing which is surrounded by protected countryside, accessed by miles of bridleways. Although truly rural in nature, the location is close to Shackleford with its village pub and shop, and Elstead and Puttenham villages. Godalming is only five miles with its excellent shops and main line station and Guildford is seven miles. There are many schools within easy reach by car, including Aldro in Shackleford, Charterhouse, and Priors Field in Godalming, and all of Guildford’s schools. For convenience the A3 is only just beyond Shackleford with access to the M25 and London, both airports, and the coast.
Kingshott Cottage has Georgian origins and is believed to have been built in the 1700’s when it was probably part of the Peper Harow Estate. It has been extensively restored and extended in 2015, whilst keeping the charm of the era at the front but adding a stunning contemporary rear with extensive use of glass from which to enjoy the views of the garden and wooded backdrop from both floors. There is oak flooring throughout, with under floor heating. There are three double bedrooms on the first floor, two of which have vaulted ceilings and glass walls overlooking the garden. Just by the back door, a useful self-contained annexe bedroom was also added, replacing an original unsafe barn, and using some reclaimed beams. On the ground floor there is a large open plan vaulted kitchen which leads to a dining area and vaulted snug/family room with wood burning stove. There is also a drawing room with open fireplace, a study, and a utility/cloakroom.
