Set in the heart of South Harting within the South Downs National Park, this attractive Grade II listed two-bedroom cottage combines period charm with recent renovations. The property offers two double bedrooms, a refitted kitchen with new appliances, and a four-piece bathroom — all freshly updated for comfortable, move-in-ready living. New carpets and retained exposed timbers maintain the cottage character while delivering modern convenience.
The layout is traditional and compact: a cosy lounge with exposed ceiling timber leads to a dining room and open-plan-feel kitchen, with a new rear door onto a private terraced garden. The garden is a manageable, scenic space suited to low-maintenance outdoor living rather than large-scale landscaping. The house is offered with vacant possession and freehold tenure.
Location is a strong selling point: a peaceful village setting with easy access to Petersfield’s shops and mainline station (regular services to London Waterloo). Good local and independent schools nearby, extensive countryside for walking and riding, and strong regional transport links add practical appeal for families or downsizers seeking village life within commuting distance.
Important considerations: the property is Grade II listed, which may restrict alterations and will affect any future renovation plans. The accommodation is characterful but compact, so buyers needing larger, modern living spaces should note the modest room sizes and small plot. EPC is exempt due to listed status; council tax is Band D (2025/26).
