Seller’s Comments: “.Walking through the front door of Cow Shed Cottage, I instantly fell in love with the essence of the property. Although filled with dark furniture and black beams at the time, I could see the potential. As the guardian of a Grade II Listed house, I have made a number of improvements including installing the wood burning stove, putting in underfloor heating and a new bathroom. Historic Alfold has a wonderful community with a medieval Church with its own set of stocks (no longer used thankfully), a Post Office and a fabulous new Cafe (The Alfold Larder).” Agent’s Comments: Lee Glomé "Cow Shed Cottage stands out for its authentic character, Grade II listing, and thoughtful presentation.

Perfect for young professionals or downsizers seeking character, comfort, and a true sense of place, Cow Shed Cottage is more than a home, it’s a lifestyle waiting to be embraced.
