GUIDE PRICE: £475,000 to £500,000 Primrose Cottage is a stunning, detached property with a rich deep history that is well documented with English Heritage and Joan M. Hardings 19th Century book; “Four Centuries of Charlwood Houses”.
Charlwood has one the highest concentration of listed buildings in the country, with its medieval roots it became one of the most affluent villages in the UK in the 18th to 19th century. The listed buildings are of great pride locally and also rarely available, Primrose Cottage being a well known and coveted landmark.
Set a generous plot (both front and rear) it is set back from the country road to the front offering peace and tranquility. The owners recently erected a large timber outbuilding with power, light and concrete hard standing. This is in addition to numerous updates and improvements to the house itself, when they purchased Primrose Cottage it was crying out for some much needed TLC and they happily obliged.
PLEASE NOTE: Primrose Cottage was built in a period when we were all a bit smaller. Like many listed buildings it has restricted headroom in places of around 6ft. If you are tall and this is an issue for you we we have sought advice and quotes for excavating the floor and tanking the sides to increase the head height on the ground floor can be obtained.
Some works are required on Primrose Cottage and quotes will be available on request.
The property is located outside the village settlement boundary but is a 5 minute stroll from the centre of the village with its locally renowned pubs (one of which is number 1 on Tripadvisor), its convenience store and its wonderful cafe.
Glovers Road is a quiet country lane and also a gateway into Glovers Wood; a stunning 65 acre, ancient woodland, protected by the National Trust. Perfect for dog walks along with the many public footpaths, bridleways through the Surrey countryside a short stroll from Glovers Road.
