VIEW PROPERTY FILM NOW!! Nestled to a backdrop of the Surrey Hills, Old Rectory Cottage sits well back from the green tree-lined roads of Hascombe generating a picture-perfect definition of village life. Effortlessly easy to fall in love with, this is a unique country home which dates back to circa 1745 yet blends a considered pared-back aesthetic with luxury detailing all whilst demonstrating admirable respect for the original bones and architecture of the property.

Perfectly positioned to give you every opportunity to sit and admire breathtaking vistas, a wonderfully large and secluded garden stretches up to a landscaped patio giving an idyllic introduction to the cottage. An extensive double fronted facade has a charming gabled porch and white washed walls peppered with the contemporary Crittall style of glazing.

Impeccably designed for modern life without losing a scintilla of character, a magnificent 33' long kitchen/dining/family room stretches out bathed in sunlight by all four aspects. Sociable and versatile to your own needs, this exceptional open plan space combines the rustic texture of the original exposed beams, brickwork and stone wall with the calm soothing effect of immaculate white walls. The heritage hues of an accent sage green wall adds a dash of colour to the family room area while a fabulously oversized circular picture window fills it with garden views. A classic wood burner nestles in the central fireplace and the Crittall style French doors of the dining area take you out onto a second patio that gives easy access to the annexe. Excellently appointed, the kitchen is fully fitted with rich dark blue Shaker-style wood painted cabinetry topped with solid oak and contrasting quartz. A butler sink adds to the charm and appliances include a freestanding Rangemaster cooker as well as an integrated wine fridge and microwave. Tucked away out of sight, a utility/boot room has its own door to the gardens.

Across the hallway, the clever use of solid-oak barn sliding doors open to reveal an additional sitting room that prompts a host of options to be used as a guest room or gym with its French doors to the patio and contemporary en suite shower room. A great hideaway from the hubbub of the day, the adjacent snug/playroom is somewhere that all ages will adore to sneak off and spend time in. A ground floor cloakroom is on hand for guests and days spent in the sunshine.

Perfectly placed, the clean lines of a frameless skylight provide sunny sky or starlit panoramas as you follow the timber tones of a solid wood and wrought iron turning staircase up to the first floor. It’s there that you’ll find a prodigious double aspect landing with blissful vistas and an abundance of adaptable space for study areas and sofas. Engendering a coveted sense of light and space, its brilliantly high sloping ceilings are echoed in a trio of exceptional double bedrooms unfolding around you with tastefully chosen accent hues. An enticing double aspect principal bedroom sits peacefully to one end, including a luxurious en suite where a countertop basin sits atop a wooden console that complements the original beams behind. To its side an indulgently wide glass framed walk-in waterfall shower is arranged in a seductively sleek black tile setting with alcove shelving.

A notably large triple aspect second bedroom that together with a hugely pretty third bedroom, along with a minimalist family bathroom with clean lines, neutral tones and a sense of spaciousness and calm, featuring a contemporary freestanding bath and dual sink.

Outside
With heavenly high evergreen hedgerows hiding you away from the world outside, the capacious front garden evokes a classic English country garden feel with its expansive lawn and the dappled shade of blossom trees. An inset circular seating space is designed for space to sit around the warming flames of a fire pit and while the original high boundary wall adds to the sense of privacy and tranquillity, tall fencing stretches out defining the lawn from a long gravel driveway that sweeps its way up the cottage providing an abundance of private off-road parking.

The gabled entrance porch and sitting room of the cottage overlooking a landscaped patio which gives you every excuse to soak up the views while you enjoy al fresco dining. The gardens wrap-around to the rear leading the way to an exemplary self-contained annexe with an expanse of bi-fold doors, a fully fitted Shaker-style kitchen and more of those beautifully retained original features.
