Property description
South Stoke is undoubtedly one of the most picturesque hamlets in West Sussex. Nestling in the Arun Valley, its beautiful Saxon church, built in 11th century, is recorded in the Doomsday Book and sits amongst the Rectory, Farmhouse & six cottages that make up the village.
These cottages are rarely available, two of them are still owned by the Duke of Norfolk & form part of the Angmering Park Estate. This, one of the oldest flint cottages, has been in the family for three generations & would make a fantastic home for those who enjoy the stunning views & fabulous footpaths of the South Downs.
The property requires complete modernisation, so it should been seen as a blank canvas. Buyers will appreciate the enormous amount of potential the cottage offers. The double-fronted, semi-detached house is surprising in size: two large formal reception rooms surround a central chimney, the kitchen overlooks the church ground & has an adjoining pantry; on the first floor you have two very large bedrooms & stairs to a full length loft room, With the right imagination &, subject to the usual planning consents, you could make much more of the accommodation.
So if you’re looking for your dream home in the country & want to embark on an exciting project, then get your bid in before it’s too late!
Please refer to the footnote regarding the services and appliances.What the Owner says:
Once the village bakery & school, this cottage has been in our family for three generations. It has bustled with muddy children, housed playwrights and artists & hosted uncountable Easter feasts & Christmas dinners.
It's now time for someone else to make it their own, give it a new lease of life & enjoy it as much as we have.
