Highlands Lane, Woking, GU22
Walnut Tree Cottage is an exceptional and rarely available period home, beautifully positioned along the highly regarded Highlands Lane in Woking. Dating back to the 1500s, this Grade II listed cottage carries centuries of history — first a pig farm, later a small liquorice factory — with its story woven into every beam, brick and fireplace.
Inside, the cottage is rich with character: a dining room with a striking open fireplace and low ceilings, a cosy living room with another welcoming hearth, and a further reception room long used as a home office. The kitchen is full of period charm and opens onto a patio overlooking the side garden, with a utility room and downstairs shower room completing the ground floor.
Upstairs, exposed beams continue the heritage feel, with three double bedrooms and a compact bathroom that perfectly suits the age and style of the home, complete with a garden‑facing window. Outside, the rear garden is laid to lawn with a coal bunker, garden shed, brick‑built garage and driveway parking for two to three cars.
The owners’ memories add further depth to the cottage’s story — from uncovering original wattle‑and‑daub walls to finding antique lemonade bottles buried in the garden, complete with marbles used as stoppers.
Walnut Tree Cottage is ideal for buyers seeking a home with genuine heritage, charm and individuality — a rare opportunity to own a distinctive piece of Woking’s history.
