Iona is a fascinating and delightfully quirky cottage, set in a very convenient village location in the heart of Old Oxted. The main town and rail station are within easy and safe walking distance, accessed via the well lit underpass, thus avoiding traffic on the A25.

The property forms part of a row of houses formally known as Crown Cottages. The appealing elevations are timber framed clad in whitewashed brick, with rubblestone patches and casement windows, all under a plain tiled roof. The early 15c origins are apparent inside the cottage with the framing and beams evident throughout.

Set over three floors the cottage is accessed from street level via the main front door, which opens onto the hall. From here is a family room and the bathroom. A short flight of stairs lead up to the kitchen which is fitted with a range of white units with an integral electric oven and gas hob. There is space for a washing machine and fridge. Doors lead out to the garden and to the sitting/dining room which has a charming brick fire place with open fire and oak bressummer beam above. A further door opens onto the terrace above the street.

On the next level the small landing has ladder style stairs to the bedrooms, both having a range of fitted cupboards and one with a mezzanine level.

Outside the courtyard garden is planted in a Japanese style and has a built in seating area with storage bench and wood store. There is a pond with water feature. The remaining garden is paved and leads to the studio which has been fitted with a range of maple effect wall and base units. There is space for shelving and a washing machine.
