Swallows Church Town

These two single storey, semi-detached cottages have been converted in 2018 from outbuildings which were once a hen house, on the owner’s stud farm. The properties overlook woodland at the back, and there is a small sitting-out area for each property. There is superb walking straight from the door, onto a public footpath and fields which run alongside the owners’ farmhouse. There is a scenic ramble to a good pub in Tandridge through the fields and woodland, which takes about half an hour. Next door to the bungalows, is a garden centre with a walled garden restaurant, which is open during the day and Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings. It also have a coffee shop and demonstrations/workshops at certain times of the year.
The pretty village of Godstone is about a mile away with a range of traditional shops, pubs and eateries, and Caterham is also nearby. London is easily reached in about half an hour via the fast train from Oxted, 2 miles away. There are plenty of stately homes and gardens to explore, all within easy driving distance including Chartwell, Hever and Leeds Castles, Penshurst Place, Polesden Lacey, Ardingly, Hampton Court Palace, Bletchingley Castle, Leonardslee Gardens, Nymans and Sheffield Park. For horse racing enthusiasts days out at Epsom, Lingfield Park or Brighton race courses are a must. For family days out visit Chessington Zoo World of Adventure, Denbies Vineyard and Brocketts Farm, while Brighton and the south coast can be reached in about 45 minutes, with a host of seaside activities and family entertainment. Also within easy reach is Dover with trips to Calais, and the spa town of Tunbridge Wells. Fishing, golf and horse riding can all be found nearby. Shop, pub and restaurant next door or 1 mile.
