If you're searching for a rural retreat while maintaining easy access to central London, Tophill Cottage is the perfect choice. This charming unlisted 4-bedroom residence was originally two cottages from the late 1800s, and offers flexible living space across three floors, all within beautifully landscaped gardens spanning just shy of a third of an acre, surrounded by farmers fields.

The ground floor features a spacious and extended living-dining area with a log burner and French doors that open to delightful rural views, alongside an additional cosy sitting room which could be used as a formal dining room, with a feature fireplace. The sociable open-plan kitchen-breakfast room is perfect for entertaining, complemented by a utility room and shower room, plus front and rear porches for muddy boots and coats. Upstairs, the first floor provides two bedrooms, each accommodating king-size beds, and there are two beautiful separate bathrooms. The second floor contains two additional double bedrooms, each accessible via its own staircase, showcasing exceptional countryside vistas as you ascend.

The gardens are beautifully landscaped with various lawns, a fire-pit area, vegetable patch, and greenhouse. For those working from home, there are two detached office outbuildings with convenient full-fibre broadband options available. The property includes a gated gravel driveway for up to four cars and a garage that's been converted into a workshop, along with a rear extension.

Tophill Cottage is located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the North Downs, benefiting from a sense of solitude approximately 300 ft from the nearest neighbour. Enjoy scenic walks along public footpaths and the renowned North Downs Way right from your doorstep.
