Property description

Offered to the market for the first time in more than twenty years, this delightful property sits within well tended, landscaped mature gardens, extending to 0.472 acres and is tucked away towards the end of a private country lane, providing a sense of peace and tranquillity.

On the fringe of the village of West Chiltington, the cottage was built by renowned sculptor, turned architect Reginald Wells sometime around the late 1920's.

Along with approximately seventy other 'Wells Cottages' built in the village, the property was part of his vision to create the perfect English idyll, designed to look like a 17th century home and appealing, at the time to his wealthy, bohemian London friends.

Nowadays, the property offers excellent family-friendly accommodation including a large breakfast/kitchen, plus 26ft living room and formal dining room, each with open fires and even a bar from which to entertain.

The master bedroom has a lovely view across the garden and a useful ensuite, whilst the large double garage and driveway offer plenty of parking for when friends or family come to visit. The other two bedrooms are also good doubles, one of which is currently used as a large study and the family bathroom has an airing cupboard and extra storage.

What the Owner says:

We moved here from Horsham about twenty one years ago and knew instantly that this was the home for us. The setting is superb, with an almost rural feel yet only a few minutes drive from all local amenities.

We've always loved the character and charm of Wells Cottages and are proud to have had the opportunity to own one.

As such, we took great care to sensitively extend the property some years ago, blending the old with the more modern to create a very sociable, warm and welcoming family home. With superb walks, horse and bike rides available right from the doorstep, the property is well suited to those who enjoy the outdoor life.
