Tucked away in this serene and highly sought-after location, the home lies just a short stroll from the rolling countryside of the South Downs National Park, while being within easy reach of Worthing town centre, the seafront, and excellent transport links to London via Worthing mainline station (2 miles).
Painstakingly and lovingly renovated throughout, Myrtle Cottage has been transformed by its current owner—an interior stylist with an exceptional eye for detail. The renovation has preserved and enhanced the character and architectural integrity of the home, revealing a story of craftsmanship, heritage, and understated luxury.
The Main Residence
Arranged over three floors and extending to over 3,200 sq. ft, the main house offers five beautifully proportioned double bedrooms, two elegant reception rooms, and a bespoke country-style kitchen that forms the heart of the home. A large utility room, boot room, and traditional wine cellar provide practical touches that enhance everyday living.
The interiors are a blend of Georgian charm and continental influence, inspired by the rustic sophistication of French and Italian farmhouses. Neutral palettes, layered textures, reclaimed materials, and antique fittings bring warmth and character to every space. Original features—including fireplaces, timber sash windows, and wood panelling—have been sympathetically restored and thoughtfully integrated into a timeless, functional design scheme.
The Coach House
Positioned to the side of the main residence and accessed via the courtyard, the self-contained one-bedroom Coach House is a stunning addition to the estate. With its own kitchen, bathroom and living space, it offers excellent versatility: whether as a private guest suite, home office, studio, or potential short-let accommodation.
The Grounds & Outdoor Lifestyle
Myrtle Cottage sits within two walled, south-facing gardens that create a tranquil and private outdoor sanctuary. The grounds have been beautifully landscaped with fruit trees, mature olive and eucalyptus, manicured lawns and architectural planting to offer year-round interest.
One of the standout features is the converted original greenhouse, now serving as a captivating sunken dining room., rustic styling and views across the garden, it’s an enchanting space for entertaining or quiet reflection, no matter the season.
A carport with electric vehicle charging point is accessed via the shared driveway, with additional off-road parking available on site.
The Complete Lifestyle – Available by Separate Negotiation
This truly is a turnkey opportunity. Every carefully selected item—from bespoke cabinetry to antique furnishings and artisan lighting—has been chosen to complement the house’s tone and history. All items can be included by separate negotiation, allowing you to step seamlessly into this exquisite lifestyle.
