This “idyllic” family home for sale is full of character and includes gardens which are nominated for a national award.

Priory Cottage, on Priory Lane in Frensham, is a “charming” home with a mix of period details and contemporary features.

Entering the property, there is a reception hall with a log burner, leading into a sitting room which features a character fireplace with a wood-burning stove and a bay window with a garden view.

Adjacent to this is a family room with exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace, while also on the ground floor is a kitchen with a central island, an AGA, skylights and French doors to the garden.

Completing the ground floor is a downstairs shower room and a lobby with access to the rear terrace.

A bespoke solid oak staircase leads upstairs, where there are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The principal bedroom has a bay window, built-in storage and an en-suite shower room, while the other two bedrooms feature exposed beams.

Outside, there is a garden which has been shortlisted as a Finalist in the Association of Professional Landscapers Awards 2026, featuring terraces, shaped borders and hedging, with riverside views.

Also in the grounds are various outbuildings and a large barn, which has the potential for a workshop space or future development (subject to the necessary permissions).

The property is for sale with Savills for a guide price of £1,500,000.

Rory McKenzie, property agent, commented: “I love looking out onto the river and watching the wildlife come and go.

“Set within beautifully landscaped gardens and enjoying a tranquil outlook across a meandering river, this charming character home offers an exceptional blend of period detail and contemporary comfort.”
