A delightful Surrey cottage situated in the village where The Holiday was filmed is on the market for £1.15 million.
The Grade II listed home, dating from 1742, has been sympathetically restored over the years. Set in the quintessential English village of Shere, fans of the festive film will be sure to recognise the surroundings as the home where Kate Winslet's character Iris lived (the real film cottage doesn't actually exist). It's deeply charming, although don't expect to find Jude Law in the local pub.
Traditional and modern décor differ dramatically, but this Georgian property blends the two together quite seamlessly. Step inside and you'll discover a dual aspect sitting room (we're big fans of the wood-burning stove here), a generous dining room for entertaining, and a kitchen/breakfast room with bespoke cabinets, an island, gas-fired AGA, and a vaulted ceiling offering beautiful garden views.
There is nothing ordinary about the space. The landing upstairs, with original pitch pine wall panels, is flooded with light. Off the landing, there are two principle bedrooms and a family bathroom, while the second floor also has an additional bedroom and modernised shower room.
Savills
Interestingly, too, the house was previously let out by Savills to a couple who saw the film and decided they wanted to move across the world to the English countryside. Perhaps it was the glorious garden which drew them in (it has views of the South Downs), or maybe the wealth of period buildings down the street.
'I love the location of Gallandes, it is right in the heart of one of the most picturesque villages in Surrey,' adds Lee Shipp, property agent at Savills.
This property is currently on the market for £1,150,000 with Savills.

Rebuilt in 2011, this home in Woodbury, Connecticut, features wide-plank floors and exposed wood beams, maintaining its original charm. While barn homes often have open floor plans, this one comprises many smaller rooms for a more traditional feel. Even so, at 3,600 square feet, it still offers plenty of room for crafts and hobbies. A large bonus room acts as a rec room and is the perfect spot for a game of pool. A built-out porch is great for year-round entertaining.

Everything you need to know to have the best woodsy getaway in 2021. This camping cottage, as it's classified, can be found at French Creek State Park, just an hour outside Philadelphia. It's one example of cabins in Pennsylvania state parks. (Photo courtesy of Pennsylvania State Parks, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania) With the warm weather upon us, you've probably been looking at your calendar, hoping to plan a getaway. I have a suggestion: Stay in one of many cabins in Pennsylvania. As my family has discovered over the past decade, the Pennsylvania state park system offers affordable cabin and yurt options that are comfortable, nostalgic and wonderfully woodsy. (Yes, you can bring your dog to some.) Plenty are within an easy drive of the Philadelphia area. And with high elevations, swimming lakes and waterfall hikes, there are plenty of options for cooling off. Here, a guide to how to do it best. PLANNING YOUR TRIP Where are these state parks?
