Guide price £425,000 - £450,000. Viewings conclude 3/11/23, best and final offers to be submitted to the Agent by midday 6/11/23.

Nestled on the edge of the South Downs National Park, 2 Kithurst Farm Cottages is an attractive semi-detached red brick 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 offers a new owner enormous scope for improvement and extension (subject to the necessary consents): whilst benefiting from a number of updated services including a new boiler and air source heat pump fuelled heating system (2023) and replacement double glazing, the house would benefit from updating and refurbishment throughout.

The front door opens to an entrance porch with coal store, an inner door leads to the spacious entrance hall off which lies a cloakroom with WC and a rear lobby and store; stairs rise to the first floor. There are two reception rooms: a sitting room overlooking the garden, with brick open fireplace, and a separate dining room with Rayburn range. The dining room adjoins the kitchen, which is fitted with a number of floor mounted wooden-fronted units, and has space for appliances.

There are three bedrooms on the first floor lying off a galleried landing, all with built in storage cupboards, and served by a bathroom and separate WC.

A gate opens from the lane to a short pathway leading to the front door, which continues into the garden. The garden is of a generous size, extending to about 0.26 of an acre and mainly laid to lawn, extending away from the house to the west and around to the north, enclosed by low wooden fencing and hedging. To the rear of the house are two timber sheds (in need of some repair); to the far northern end of the garden is a former garage and potential to create space for parking (subject to the necessary consents).
