DESCRIPTION
Believed to have been built circa 1710, Rising Sun Cottage is a stunning, generous four bedroom Grade II Listed home, originally built as a pub by The Parham Estate. It sits in a plot of approximately a quarter of an acre and offers generous reception rooms and extensive gardens to the front and rear with original features of oak beams, fireplaces, courtyard, a working well and re-purposed pig stye all fabricated in a combination of local stone, red brick and flint.
This charming property is quite unique and could even be said to be quirky offering an interesting combination of large reception rooms, cosy bedrooms and crawl spaces together forming a surprisingly spacious and airy interior whose windows draw light into the rooms with views over the gardens. In the summer months one can choose from a number of sun traps and shady enclaves accessed via the wraparound paved areas and lawns.
The Chapel Lane entrance and the property postcode draws visitors into the courtyard. The original stone slab tiled roofed porch to the north aspect of the house still functions as a front door access via the side gate and gravel path. The generous sitting room is enhanced in the winter evenings by a large open fireplace dressed with cowling, grate and cast iron fire back that uniquely carries the Rising Sun motif. This originated above the front door and is repeated to the rear of the dining room fireplace.
Despite there being entrance doors and walkways off the sitting room to the main dining room, ground floor bedroom, study, courtyard, passage to a modern cloakroom, kitchen, breakfast room and front door porch, the finesse of the furnishing has maintained the most elegant and well functioning space. The dining room in contrast to the other rooms has a high ceiling, panelled walls and a fitted bookcase with the largest original Georgian sash window in the house.
Entering through the back door into the lobby/utility area the current facilities include large fridge, two dishwashers, washing machine and dryer adjacent to a ceramic sink and traditional hardwood draining board complemented by a three oven Aga. (Appliances may be available under separate negotiation.)
Stairs from the inner lobby in the centre of the property lead to the first floor landing accessing the three bedrooms, bathroom and a generous walk-in wardrobe, all finished in elegant colour combinations consistent with the ground floor areas.
Any visitor will notice the well-considered function of every aspect of the property including the outbuildings and pond, each to be discovered and further enhanced by the new owner.

OUTSIDE
The property is accessed via a no through road leading to off road parking and garage. From here, a gate leads through to brick paved outside entertaining area with beautiful wisteria clad pergola and a raised lawn area and part walled garden.

To the front of the property there is a large level lawn, screened by mature hedging and interspersed with established flower beds. To the far end there is a fabulous ornate garden pond with water feature.
