Set within the South Downs National Park, this Grade II listed cottage occupies a generous 0.2-acre plot with an established English country garden, pond and mature weeping willow. Arranged over three floors, the home blends period character—exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces and high ceilings—with comfortable living spaces including a sitting room with woodburner, separate dining room and a farmhouse-style kitchen/breakfast room. A conservatory overlooks the rear garden, adding flexible family space.
The layout suits families or buyers seeking countryside lifestyle: four double bedrooms across the first and second floors, two bathrooms, and useful eaves storage. Outside, a converted double garage with adjoining workshop provides parking and garden storage; these former farm buildings may offer scope for alternative uses subject to planning (not confirmed).
Buyers should note material constraints: the house is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and may complicate works and planning. Broadband is very slow, and council tax is above average. Overall size is described as average for this type; the property’s historic status means maintenance and sensitive repairs are likely required over time.
This location will particularly appeal to those wanting an authentic South Downs lifestyle — miles of bridleways, proximity to Kingley Vale and easy access to Goodwood, Chichester and the coast. For purchasers who value character, outdoor space and village tranquillity, this cottage offers rare rural charm with practical living areas and future potential should planning permissions for the outbuildings be explored.
