2 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

A rare opportunity - a two bedroom character property with more than 4 acres of grounds.

Description

This charming Grade II listed attached cottage is full of character and ideally situated just outside one of the South Downs’ most sought-after villages. Tucked away on a peaceful lane and accessed via a five-bar gate, the property offers ample parking on a gravel area, with potential to add a carport or garage subject to the necessary planning consents.

A pretty pathway leads to the cottage’s attractive façade, and you enter into a well-proportioned kitchen for a property of this type, fitted with a range of units and plumbing for a washing machine. There’s space for a table and direct access to the garden, along with a lovely rear terrace, ideal for outdoor dining.

The bright and welcoming double aspect reception room is full of period cottage character, featuring stone floors, exposed beams and a large fireplace with a wood-burning stove. This leads into a double-aspect room currently used as a dining area, which would equally suit use as a snug or home office.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is spacious and filled with natural light, featuring a vaulted ceiling, exposed timbers, and useful built-in storage. The second double bedroom is equally charming, with its own fireplace and period beams. Both rooms enjoy lovely views over the surrounding countryside and are served by a well-appointed bathroom.

The cottage sits on a plot of approximately 4 acres, with the immediate grounds made of parking and lawn with mature trees and enclosed by a substantial hawthorn hedge and a useful shed is located at the rear. Adjoining to the main garden lies a field to the south, bordered by a stream along one edge. This paddock also benefits from its own gate and vehicular access.
