The Street, Hascombe, Godalming, Surrey, GU8

Set within the picturesque Surrey Hills village of Hascombe, Mill Pond Cottages is an attractive and beautifully presented three-bedroom home that combines a wealth of character with stylish contemporary additions. Offering approximately 1,104 sq ft of accommodation, the property has been thoughtfully improved by the current owners, with particular highlights including a new extension with underfloor heating, a landscaped south-west facing garden and a new bathroom. Stripped wooden doors and carefully chosen finishes give the interior a welcoming and individual feel.

Stepping into the entrance hall, the staircase rises to the first floor, while rich-toned solid wood flooring continues through much of the ground floor, creating an attractive sense of continuity between the principal rooms. A useful cloakroom with WC is conveniently positioned off the hall. To the front is a particularly versatile study/boot room, generously proportioned with useful space for coats and shoes and equally well suited as a home office, snug or occasional reception room. A glazed stable-style door provides direct access outside, making this an especially practical everyday entrance.

The main living accommodation has a wonderfully relaxed and sociable feel. The sitting room is a comfortable and characterful space centred around a wood-burning stove with a substantial oak mantel, while bespoke-style cupboards sit neatly within the chimney breast recesses. A wide opening connects naturally with the adjoining dining room, creating an excellent arrangement for both family life and entertaining. The dining area has ample space for a good-sized table and seating, while remaining clearly defined from the sitting room.

Beyond, the extended kitchen forms a superb contemporary addition to the house. A vaulted ceiling and rooflight enhance the feeling of space, while windows overlook the garden and wide doors open directly onto the terrace, creating an easy connection between the house and outside. Dark Shaker-style cabinetry is complemented by pale work surfaces, metro-tiled splashbacks, copper-toned handles and a deep ceramic Butler sink, while striking Laura Ashley patterned floor tiles, complete with underfloor heating, provide a particularly attractive and practical finishing touch.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms, with attractive engineered wood flooring continuing throughout much of the first floor. Bedrooms one and two are both generous doubles, with bedroom one benefitting from a substantial run of fitted wardrobes and bedroom two also offering useful built-in storage. The third bedroom is a comfortable and versatile room in its own right, currently arranged to incorporate a workspace and benefitting from further fitted storage.

The newly fitted family bathroom has been finished in a stylish yet timeless manner, with a panelled bath and separate glazed shower enclosure, traditional-style sanitaryware and sage green metro tiling. Patterned flooring adds further character and complements the overall finish particularly well.

Outside, the south-west facing garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to provide an attractive extension of the living space, with established planting creating a leafy setting and a paved terrace immediately outside the kitchen providing an ideal spot for outdoor dining and entertaining. A detached summer house of approximately 96 sq ft offers valuable additional space and excellent potential for use as a home office, studio, hobby room or garden retreat. The property additionally benefits from a garage, a few moments away, measuring approximately 16’10 x 8’2 and providing useful off-road parking or valuable additional storage.
