“The front sitting room gives the cottage much of its character, but it’s the flexibility beyond the main house that also stands out. The substantial brick-built garden room creates genuinely useful additional space, allowing the house to adapt to different needs over time.” - Andy Moran Chantries and Pewleys
The Setting
This end-of-terrace period cottage occupies a popular residential position in Shalford, putting everyday village amenities within easy reach.
Shalford has its own shops, café and pub, together with a mainline railway station. Guildford is also close by for a much broader range of shopping, leisure and transport connections.
The red-brick exterior is complemented by a brick boundary wall and traditional metal railings, details that sit naturally with the period character of the cottage. Gated access alongside the house leads through to the rear garden.
The Main Living Room
The principal reception room sits at the front of the cottage and is one of the spaces that best expresses its period character.
A traditional fireplace with exposed brickwork forms a strong focal point, framed by a dark surround and mantel. The front window brings natural light into the room, while the shape of the room allows the seating to be arranged naturally around the fireplace.
Importantly, this remains a sitting room in its own right. The dining room is kept separate behind it, giving each reception space a clear purpose.
Dining Room & Kitchen
The dining room sits behind the living room and forms the second reception space. There is room for a full dining table while retaining a clear route through to the kitchen.
Its position between the sitting room and kitchen makes it a natural everyday dining space and an important part of how the ground floor works.
The modern kitchen continues towards the rear. Dark cabinetry and contrasting work surfaces are arranged along both sides, with windows bringing natural light across the working area. The galley layout keeps preparation and storage clearly defined while maintaining a direct connection with the dining room.
Bedrooms & Bathroom
Upstairs are two double bedrooms, positioned to the front and rear of the cottage.
Both have built-in storage, while one also retains a period fireplace. The two rooms are similar in scale, making the second bedroom a genuine double rather than a noticeably smaller supporting room.
The modern bathroom is positioned on the ground floor beyond the kitchen. It has a bath with shower over, WC and wash basin with storage beneath.
The Garden & Garden Room
Immediately behind the cottage is a block-paved patio, creating a defined place to sit outside before the garden extends away from the house.
The garden has a sunny aspect and is enclosed by established hedging and fencing, with a pathway leading towards the far end.
Here, the substantial brick-built garden room is an important addition to the property. It provides genuinely useful space separate from the main accommodation and adds flexibility for different needs over time, without taking space away from either of the bedrooms or reception rooms.
Together, the patio, garden and garden room add a useful extra dimension to the way the cottage can be used.
