DESCRIPTION
This charming three bedroom cottage is steeped in local history and sits in the shadow of one of West Sussex's oldest churches, St Giles, which dates back to the 13th Century. The cottage itself was built circa 1860 on land previously owned by a keen parishioner of St Giles. In order not to have to walk along the old London Road, the previous owner negotiated herself a gate and rite of passage through the church for use in her lifetime. This wonderfully ornate gate remains to this day for use solely by the current owners.
The cottage itself is entered via a double aspect entrance porch leading through to a spacious double aspect sitting room with ornate feature fireplace. From here a door leads through to a separate dining room, with a door giving access to the kitchen, which has a tiled floor, matching base and wall mounted units and solid stone worktops. Off the kitchen, there is a boot room with a stable door leading out onto the cobbled courtyard, and ground floor cloakroom. A good sized conservatory with view over the gardens and church beyond, completes the ground floor accommodation.
From the sitting room, stairs lead to the first floor landing complete with three bedrooms, two of which benefit from fitted wardrobes and storage, along with en-suite facilities. A further family bathroom completes the first floor accommodation.

OUTSIDE
One of the biggest selling points of Lilac Cottage is the generous outside space. Approached via a long graveled driveway, the property benefits from off road parking and garaging for four vehicles. The owner¿s passion for classic cars is very apparent with well fitted garaging having light and power, electric car charging point and separate workshop, ideal for car enthusiasts or for those looking for outdoor workspace.
To the front of the property there is a part walled garden mainly laid to lawn with steps leading onto raised terrace area. From here a path leads round to a further courtyard with access into the conservatory.
A further set of steps lead onto the raised lawn area with views and access to the glorious St Giles church. There is also access to various other outbuildings including large potting shed, greenhouse and summer house. Thereafter, brick lined steps lead you back round to the ornate cobbled courtyard with access to the extensive garaging.
