Spacious single‑storey living with large gardens and garage.
Extremely large detached bungalow with flexible 3–4 bedroom layout
Tuts Cottage is a substantial, characterful detached bungalow on a private road in East Preston, offering exceptionally generous living space and mature gardens. The layout provides flexible accommodation suitable for retirement living: principal bedrooms with en suites, a large lounge and dining room, conservatory, study/office and an extended room that can serve as an occasional bedroom or hobby space. The property is chain free and freehold, with off‑street parking and a garage for practical day‑to‑day use.
The garden is a standout feature — large lawns, well stocked borders and a courtyard with a water feature create several peaceful outdoor areas. Many of the principal rooms enjoy natural light and rustic character including exposed brick and stone detailing, plus a conservatory for year‑round garden views. Practicals include mains gas central heating and double glazing (installed before 2002).
There is clear scope for improvement: the house dates from before 1900, walls are granite/whinstone with assumed no insulation, and some rooms have low ceilings or compact bathroom space. The EPC rating of D and an expensive Council Tax band F reflect running costs to consider. Buyers wanting a ready‑made modern retirement home should budget for upgrades, insulation and possible reconfiguration to fully realise the property’s potential.
This is a rare opportunity for someone seeking a roomy, character cottage close to local amenities and schools, with easy access to coastal West Sussex. It will particularly suit buyers planning sympathetic refurbishment who value garden privacy, flexible single‑storey living and historic charm.
