Rushett Common, Bramley

"There’s a clear mix here between original features and practical additions. The fireplaces give the main rooms a sense of identity, while the addition of a utility room takes pressure off the kitchen, allowing it to work as a more usable day-to-day space. The garden and its direct link to the surrounding fields is what really sets it apart" - Toni Humphreys, Chantries and Pewleys
The cottage sits within a small semi-rural hamlet just outside Bramley, surrounded by open countryside and within the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. A gate at the end of the garden leads directly onto a footpath across the fields, giving immediate access to walking routes. Bramley village is close by for day-to-day needs, with Guildford easily accessible.
The kitchen is positioned to the rear and forms the main living space. Wooden units run along two sides, with a range cooker set within a tiled surround. It opens into the dining area, which has French style doors to the garden. This creates a direct link to the terrace, allowing the space to extend when the doors are open. A separate utility room sits off the kitchen. This is a practical addition, keeping laundry and storage away from the main space and allowing the kitchen to remain focused on cooking and day-to-day living. The sitting room is set to the front of the house and provides a more enclosed space. A brick fireplace forms the focal point, giving the room a clear identity and anchoring the layout. It works well as a separate room from the kitchen, offering a quieter space when needed.
The bedrooms are arranged across the upper two floors. On the first floor, the main bedroom sits to the front with a wide window and fireplace detail. A second bedroom sits to the rear, with the family bathroom positioned alongside, fitted with a walk-in shower. The second floor provides a further room within the roof space, with sloped ceilings and velux style window.
The rear garden extends a good distance behind the house, starting with a terrace directly outside the dining area. This is the natural place for seating and connects directly back into the house. The garden then opens into a longer stretch, bordered by fencing and planting. At the far end, a gate leads directly out onto a footpath and into the surrounding fields, which is a defining feature of the property. To the front, a gravel driveway provides off-street parking for several vehicles.
