The expression 'If walls could talk' certainly applies to this fine Grade II listed house discretely concealed behind a high retaining wall in the heart of Tangmere village. Tangmere Cottage played a significant role as the operations centre for Tangmere airfield during World War II hosting the Special Operations Executive, a secret Government agency working with Resistance forces in occupied Europe. SOE agents would be flown from RAF Tangmere (home to 161 Special Duties Squadron) by Lysander aircraft to and from mainland Europe by night.
Today the property is a fine five bedroom Grade II Listed country home standing in half an acre of mature attractively landscaped gardens. Originally believed to date from circa 1750, and retaining much character, the property has subsequently been substantially extended to include three large reception rooms, and a fabulous kitchen breakfast room with integrated appliances and a glass roofed sitting area. The drawing room has four feature bay windows and a large open fireplace, and the dining room, and one time operations room during WW11 has space for the largest of dining tables measure 20' x 14'. There is also a dual aspect family room and ground floor cloakroom. The principal bedroom suite includes a double bedroom with a large dressing room and en-suite shower room. There are four further bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room and a family bathroom.
The garden is attractively landscaped with abundantly stocked borders and extensive lawns. It includes a heated outdoor swimming pool and decked area with a Mediterranean style bar. A sweeping driveway leads to large double garage and workshop/store, and two large parking areas. No onward chain.
