4 bed detached house

Folly Cottage is a converted 1802 stone-built cottage with a contemporary extension, situated in a tranquil setting on the Hampshire-Surrey border. The property has been extended and opened up to create a series of bright, sociable spaces with swathes of glazing that stitch together inside and out. The building features a refined palette of materials, including exposed concrete, plaster, and steel, with a contemporary extension clad in blackened timber that nods to the local vernacular. Inside, the cottage has a light-filled porch, a kitchen with concrete cabinetry and a large central island, and a living room with dual-aspect, floor-to-ceiling glazed doors that slide open to the garden. The property has three en-suite bedrooms upstairs, a downstairs en-suite bedroom converted into an atmospheric snug, and two studios in the grounds with log-burning stoves and green views. The outdoor space, designed by Sam Ovens, includes several dining terraces, a lower garden area, mature trees, a gardener's shed, and a pond.
