Description

Guide price £400,000 - £425,000

Nestled on the edge of the South Downs National Park, 1 Kithurst Farm Cottages is a very pretty detached stone cottage in a lovely location: rural and yet not isolated, set down a country lane with just a handful of neighbouring properties and wonderful panoramic views of the Downs. The cottage has recently been the subject of comprehensive refurbishment and is offered in excellent order throughout, with improvements including new carpeting in the reception rooms and bedroom, a newly-fitted kitchen, utility and shower room, replacement double glazing and an air-source heat pump fuelled heating system.

The front door opens directly to the reception room which features an attractive inglenook fireplace with brick chimney breast. Lying off the reception room is a versatile further room, which could be used as a second bedroom, snug or study. The kitchen lies beyond the reception room and has been fitted with a range of modern shaker-style units with granite-effect worktops, tiled splashbacks and an oven with extractor over; it is served by a good-sized utility and boot room with space for further appliances and a door opening to the garden.

Stairs rise from the reception room to the first floor bedroom, which has an en suite shower room with suite comprising a large shower, basin and WC.

The house is set back from the lane behind a picket fence, a short pathway leads to the front door and a further pathway allows access to the rear garden. The garden is of a good size, extending to about 0.13 of an acre and mainly laid to lawn, extending away from the house to the west and north and enclosed by low wooden fencing and hedging; there is a paved patio adjacent to the rear of the cottage, a small brick store (the former privy), and potential to the north of the house to create space for parking (subject to the necessary consents).
