Welcome to Highland Cottage, nestled in the picturesque Surrey Hills, where time seems to stand still.

This is more than a house; it's a captivating narrative of the past. Originally a humble hovel owned by a local family, it has witnessed tales of love and scandal, where The Lord of the Manor's illicit affair led him to move his wife's sister and their illegitimate son into the "Hall House," as it was then known.
Today, this remarkable residence is a sanctuary for the current owner, who fell in love with the area and couldn't resist making this enchanting place her own, having discovered the tranquility and charm of Coldharbour, finding solace in its timeless allure.

The grounds of this extraordinary cottage are not only breathtaking but also perfect for hosting unforgettable gatherings. Imagine the joy of summer parties on the vast lawns, where a grand marquee could be set up. In the summer the house comes alive, and in the winter, its fireplaces create an intimate setting, enveloping you in warmth, perfect for dinner parties.
Coldharbour is more than just a location it's a close-knit community where friendly faces and caring neighbours make you feel truly at home. The owner cherishes the welcoming spirit of the area and appreciates being within a short drive of Cranleigh, Shere, and Horsham. And with London only an hour away, the best of both worlds awaits you.
The house itself is a harmonious blend of two sides, each offering its own unique charm.

The ensuite bathroom features underfloor heating and a dual shower, adding a touch of luxury.
The other side offers a middle sitting room, an office space to fuel your creativity, and a snug TV room for relaxation, all with cosy wood-burning stoves. The second staircase leads to a double and a small double bedroom, accompanied by a charming family bathroom..
The outdoors beckons with a terrace and balcony, perfect for al fresco dining and enjoying the idyllic views. A summer house with a verandah provides a tranquil spot for relaxation during warmer months, and the possibility of further accommodation. The garden yields apples, plums, and pears, reminiscent of a simpler time. And if you're inclined, there's even space for chickens in the well-crafted coop.
Beyond the gardens lies a small paddock, perfect for a child wanting a pony, complete with a stable, tack room, and toilet.
