Grove Cottage Now
My husband Gerald and I moved into 1 Grove Cottage 6 years ago. We love living in a house so full of history and often try to imagine what it would have been like during the hundreds of years people have lived here. It's certainly a lot more comfortable now with central heating, running water and electricity instead of the fire on the ground, the well outside and candles to see by. If anyone has photos of the house and garden, even quite recent ones, we would be interested in making copies.
I grew up in Effingham and would catch the bus back home from Bookham at the bus stop just opposite the cottage. On the day I went to view the cottage I had a flashback to myself as a child walking past and peering over the fence and into what is now our dining room. I remembered very clearly thinking to myself 'What a lovely old house', little knowing I would live there one day.
