Understood to date from 1476 and originally three small cottages, the property can be described as a quintessential English residence recently in the same ownership for over 30 years. Situated off a country lane with grounds approaching half of an acre the property adjoins pastureland owned by the neighbouring Knepp Estate.

Internally the accommodation extends to just over 1,700 square feet of floor space with well proportioned rooms that are bright and welcoming, in particular the sitting and dining rooms with triple and double aspects respectively. Numerous exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces, and a lovely galleried landing are just some of the many features. The kitchen has traditional wooden units with room for a central table. The study was converted some years ago to form a 'Granny Annexe' consisting of a double bedroom and a shower room which could easily be reinstated if required.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms, the principal has a range of fitted cupboards and en-suite with bath and separate shower, the further two bedrooms are both sizeable and served by a family bathroom.

A delightful and unspoilt Grade II listed period cottage in an attractive rural setting adjoining pastureland owned by the Knepp Estate.

Outside there is an integral workshop / store, swimming pool, and a detached double garage in front of which is a wide parking area with pathway leading off to the front door bounded by lavender bushes. The pathway leads around the cottage with areas of lawn the majority of which is on it's south / eastern side where there is a paved terrace and summerhouse on the far side. The swimming pool is heated and filtered and heated by the oil fired boiler, also providing heating for the house, which is situated in the boiler room at the rear of the cottage. Established boundary trees and shrubs provide a good degree of screening particularly from the lane. Drainage is by a Klargester system.

The property enjoys a fine rural setting to the south of the small village community of Shipley and is just over one mile from Coolham. The larger village of Billingshurst with its shops, amenities and mainline station to London / Victoria is about 4.3 miles distant. The town of Horsham with its excellent range of shops, restaurants and amenities is not much further. Close by is the Marks and Spencer / BP Garage in Ashington perfect for the pint of milk you have forgotten.
