Tucked away at the end of a quiet lane in Farnham town centre, Bishopsmead Cottage is a wing of a house originally built in the 1920’s with views over Farnham’s historic Bishop’s Meadow. Featuring brick and timbered elevations and leaded casement windows under a clay tiled roof this attractive three bedroom home is immaculately presented and has been carefully updated by the current owners while maintaining the property’s character. On the ground floor, there is an entrance hall with access to a utility/boot room and a ground floor bathroom. The family room is currently used as a snug and features wide polished oak floorboards and an open fireplace. The sitting room has space for seating and a dining table and has double doors leading to the garden terrace. The owners have added a kitchen extension at the back of the house featuring modern shaker style cabinets integrated appliances and counter seating. Staircases lead up to the first floor from the sitting and family rooms where there are three good sized bedrooms. The principal bedroom has built in wardrobes and an ensuite bathroom. Two further double bedrooms, both with built in wardrobes, are served by a family bathroom with a walk in shower. Outside, the pretty garden has a terrace covered by a timber pergola, overlooking a wide lawn surrounded by mature trees and shrubs with a double storage shed for bikes and garden equipment and a timber garden studio with power and wi-fi. The bottom of the lawned garden is bordered by a low brick wall and a timber footbridge leads over a narrow stream to a further garden area with mature trees and shrubs, a second timber garden studio, also with power and wi-fi, two storage sheds and a log store. From here a gate allows access into the Bishop’s Meadow, which has over 31 acres of historic open fields bisected by footpaths. To the front is an attached single garage with storage space and parking for two cars to the side. View payable Stamp Duty for this property
