17th century village house in Surrey
You couldn't find a more typical, quaint English village house in Surrey to buy right now if you tried than Huntsmore, in the village of Shackleford
Huntsmore is a charming Bargate stone village house dating back to around 1660. Originally two separate cottages, the property was subsequently added to in the 1800s and became a single dwelling in the 1950s. A wealth of character features remain in the property from a variety of periods.
Reception rooms are very good spaces for entertaining: the south-facing drawing room features a substantial inglenook fireplace, as does the dining room. The large family kitchen and study are towards the back of the property.
Upstairs are three bedrooms, the master bedroom is accessed through its en suite while one other has access to the family bathroom directly.

Outside the gardens (almost half an acre) have been well maintained and include a large cedar tree, lawns and well-stocked borders. A summerhouse is to be found at the end of the garden, currently used as a children's playroom. A York stone terrace joins the house to the garden, which is ideal for summer entertaining.
Huntsmore is located in the popular Surrey village of Shackleford which has a church, village shop with a Post Office and a pub, as well as some good junior schools. Godalming is easily reached for further amenities and has trains direct to London Waterloo.
