Lower Eashing, Godalming, Surrey, GU7

Dating back to the mid 18th century and conjuring the character of a bygone age, the gabled entrance and traditional brick and tile hung facade of Rose Cottage instantly offer an enchanting first impression. Beautifully lit by a duo of classic bay windows that look out onto the tranquil gardens, the magnificent inglenook fireplace of the spacious double aspect sitting room supplies an instant wow factor. A wood burning stove nestles within its exposed brickwork providing a wonderful focal point to a room that has a generous amount of space in which to relax and spend time together as a family. The charm and character continues in the large formal dining room that's equally suited for family meals or dinner with friends, while elegant French doors in the additional family room invite you out onto the south-facing patio of an archetypal English country garden that lends a breath-taking backdrop. Sympathetically styled, the exceptional triple aspect kitchen is superbly appointed with an array of appliances that sit discreetly behind the cup handle doors of first class Shaker-style cabinets. Crisp white quartz countertops wrap-around to produce an enviable amount of storage and workspace, and the highly functional layout easily accommodates a range cooker and an American style fridge-freezer. The monochrome encaustic patterns of a tiled splashback complement the design, and a heritage tap flows into a double butler sink, while a demi-glazed door makes it easy to step out onto a pretty side terrace for a morning coffee. A convenient cloakroom completes the ground floor of this outstanding character home. The blissful vistas continue upstairs where a truly enviable main bedroom sits beneath the exposed beams of a timber framed vaulted ceiling. The warm neutral colour scheme enhances the calm and restful feel, while plenty of wardrobe storage is hidden away behind stripped wooden doors with wrought iron fittings. Across the hallway a second double bedroom with a classic grey and palette has feature storage of its own along with ample space for a desk area. Two additional bedrooms are equally well-presented and whilst both supply flexible family accommodation one has a further vaulted ceiling. Arranged in an attractive stone tile setting, the notably sized family bathroom adds a contemporary twist with a modern suite that includes a full size bathtub with telephone taps and a walk-in shower. With ruby red roses beautifully framing the front garden gate and pretty pink roses climbing up the rustic brick facade of the cottage, there are plenty of reasons to instantly fall in love with this Lower Eashing home. Bordered by mature hedgerows and evergreen shrubs, a wonderful walled garden with a large established lawn gives a tremendous amount of kerb appeal, while a paved path takes you round to the rear of the property where a picturesque south-facing garden simply steals the show. Step out from the family room onto a broad paved patio that enjoys a marvellous amount of privacy and relax in the summer sunshine with al fresco meals or after dinner drinks. Nestled within the seclusion of statuesque hedging, firs and topiary, an extensive raised lawn stretches out before you with a paved path that leads to a detached garage that's hidden behind an abundance of greenery. An additional courtyard terrace sits adjacent to the kitchen offering a heavenly hideaway from the hubbub of daily life.
