Coast & Country by Henry Adams a proud to present an attractive Grade II listed characterful cottage dating back to at least the seventeenth century, and believed to be the oldest house in East Harting, located within the picturesque setting of the South Downs National Park.
Plumtree Cottage is a charming home, believed by our client to date back to the late 1400s, in part. The official listing suggests seventeenth century origins or earlier. It now comes to the market for the first time in over forty years, offering buyers the perfect opportunity to create a wonderful family home steeped in rich history located in the highly sought-after hamlet of East Harting.
Raised above road level, and accessed by stairs leading up from the driveway, Plumtree Cottage is an impressive and imposing sight. The roof was completely re-thatched in 2022, giving it plenty of life.
Upon entering the property, you’re greeted with a sense of warmth, charm, and period features. On the ground floor, the accommodation comprises: an impressive, beamed sitting room with double doors that lead out to the garden and a vast inglenook fireplace complete with wood-burner, ideal for cosy autumn evenings. There is an open study space off this room. The dining room is another generous room, with a feature fireplace and ample space for a large dining table, ideal for entertaining. The kitchen/breakfast room is accessed from the dining room and has a Range cooker, Butler sink, and wooden units with contrasting dark blue granite worktops plus plenty of room for a table and chairs. There is a utility room next door offering further storage space and outside access, and a downstairs cloakroom.
Rising to the first floor. There are three double bedrooms and one single bedroom. The single bedroom and two of the doubles have built-in storage while the principal bedroom has the added advantage of an en suite. The other bedrooms share the family bathroom. The bedrooms are all well-sized, attractive rooms with the high ceilings and beams, mostly inset, providing an abundance of character detail to give a real sense of the age and history of the property.
Externally, the garden is just over half an acre. Mainly laid to lawn, there are also a number of mature trees which give it a park-like appearance and a tremendous sense of space. In addition, there is an outside office with two adjoining storerooms, plus one further store adjoining the cottage but accessed from the garden.
Beside the cottage, there is also a double garage plus driveway parking for up to two cars.
