Property description

THE PROPERTY A chocolate box cottage with a contemporary addition, nestling in this pretty Downland village. 

This lovely character home is Grade II listed and situated in a quiet backwater where you will find a very popular public house serving excellent locally produced food, a thriving primary school and a pretty village pond with plenty of wildlife enjoying the watercress beds and streams which feed into it. Just above are miles and miles of beautiful countryside and outstanding walks.



The property has been very well maintained by the present owners, who have carried out a most successful extension which adds a contemporary, light and modern family/kitchen/dining room with an adjacent utility. This is extensively fitted with granite work tops, an island unit providing storage and a sink unit, and integral appliances including a dishwasher, electric hob, double oven and fridge. This room is part-vaulted and has floor to ceiling glazed windows and doors overlooking the rear garden.



A glazed walkway leads through into the original cottage, where there are four reception rooms including a study, snug, dining room and a most impressive sitting room with the original chalkstone fireplace fitted with a wood burning stove and window seats. Located just off the snug is a cloakroom.



On the first floor are four well-proportioned bedrooms, three of which have built-in wardrobes, and a refitted family bathroom.



Outside, to the front of the property, is block paved driveway parking for three to four vehicles. To the rear is a deceptively spacious garden which is laid to paved patio with steps up to a raised lawn and plenty of mature shrubs and trees. There is a raised decked area, which affords views of the nearby countryside and catches the sunshine for most of the day and evening. Also within the garden is a useful storage shed.



The property has an oil-fired heating system to radiators, with mains electricity, water and drainage understood to be connected. Early internal viewing of this charming village home is highly recommended.
