With white painted elevations, Rose Cottage
is a delightful cottage which has been
sympathetically extended and now offers
stylish-presentation, light-filled rooms and
versatile accommodation. The reception hall
gives access to a cosy snug with woodburner
and, to the rear, a generous sitting room/dining
room with a bay window. There is a lovely
outlook from this room to the fields beyond,
and additional features include the attractive
fireplace and engineered oak flooring.
Fitted with bespoke cabinetry, the welldesigned kitchen/breakfast room has ample
space for informal dining and also has French
doors to the garden. There is also a good-sized
study, while ancillary space is provided by a
utility/boot room with an external door to the
rear of the house.
The property offers four first floor bedrooms
and a modern family bathroom, with the
principal room having the advantage of a
dressing room and stylish en suite bathroom
with lovely views of the South Downs. A further
bedroom is tucked-away on the ground floor,
with a bathroom adjoining, offering the ideal
guest accommodation or the potential to
provide annexe accommodation.

Cottage gardens with hedging fronts the lane,
and a new stone driveway to the side of the
house provides parking and access to the
detached garage and electric car charging
point. The rear garden provides an outdoor
sanctuary with open views over a paddock to
the downlands beyond. With areas laid to lawn,
the garden has well-stocked borders containing
a colourful selection of shrubs and perennial
plants, and a paved terrace offers opportunities
for dining al fresco, enjoying stunning sunsets,
or just relaxing in this tranquil haven.

With an archetypal village pond and a popular
food-focused pub, the village of West Ashling
lies in a stunning semi-rural setting with vistas
to the downland landscape. Local amenities
can be found at nearby Funtington, which has
an excellent farm shop and a primary school,
along with Bosham, which is also home to a
well-regarded sailing club attracting dinghy
sailors and yachtsmen alike, with access to
excellent sailing within the harbour and the
Solent beyond. Chichester offers a wide range of
cultural, leisure and shopping facilities, including
the acclaimed Festival Theatre and Pallant
House Gallery, with the Goodwood Estate to the
north hosting horse racing events in addition to
the Festival of Speed and Revival Meetings.
The mainline station at Chichester is easily
accessible, providing journeys along the south
coast, to London Victoria via Gatwick and
to London Waterloo via nearby Havant. For
motorists, the A27, provides access to the
A3(M) and on to the M25, linking to major road
networks. Excellent schooling can be found in
the area in both state and independent sectors,
including Bishop Luffa School, The Prebendal
School, Westbourne House and Portsmouth
Grammar School.
