3 Bedroom Detached House for sale in West Sussex
HISTORY
Having had the privilege of previously selling this now exceptional home on behalf of the Cowdray Estate in 2021, Southdown Properties can assure any potential purchaser over the amount of work and time that has been put into bringing this detached period home back to its former glory.
The importance and history of such a home is seen by a very similar property that was originally built in nearby Pendean, now being an exhibit at the nearby Weald & Downland Museum at Singleton. The property is believed to have been constructed around 1600 and would have originally been part of the manor of Cocking which was held by the Viscount Montagu of Cowdray.
The cottage is understood to have once been the village store/post office, and an old photograph shows that the home was at one time thatched.
Being listed, a great deal of sympathetic renovation was required and input by the local heritage department has assured that the home has remained faithful to its historic form with lovingly restored original timbers throughout.
The home boasts leaded light windows to the front and side and has been fitted with modern electrical heating - gas not being available to the village.
ACCOMMODATION
A small entrance hall leads to the two principal reception rooms including the sitting room which oozes charm and character with a wealth of exposed beams and a stunning inglenook fireplace with an oak bressummer beam, bread oven and is currently fitted with a wood-burner.
The dining room also features exposed beams and has a dual aspect together with woodblock flooring and a feature fireplace (not used).
Off of the sitting room is a further room which could be used as a study or potentially a third bedroom if required, and has a useful mezzanine area to one end.
The kitchen with its partially vaulted ceiling is fitted with a range of modern units with contrasting granite worksurfaces, quarry tilling to the floor and a door leading to the rear paved patio area. To one end of the kitchen there is a utility room whilst to the other there is a useful cloakroom.
To the first floor there are two generous double-bedrooms, each enjoying vaulted ceilings and fine views over farmland. One also benefits from a deep walk-in cupboard. These bedrooms are serviced by a bathroom with a modern contemporary white suite including a bath with claw feet and a shower over.
OUTSIDE
The gardens are a particular feature of the home being around 0.3 acre and enjoying views over farmland.
The majority of the garden is southerly facing and is laid predominately to lawn with mature shrubs and hedging to the margins. Adjacent to the rear of the home there is an attractive brick terrace which is perfect for entertaining and al-fresco dining. Here there is also a recently discovered well which has been made into an attractive feature. A gravel path leads from here to the front of the property and to a useful integral store.
There is also a gravel driveway leading to an area of off-road parking with a turning space. The property is further serviced by a store/shed to the rear of the garden.
