Large character home with annexe and extensive gardens in a sought village location.
Grade II listed cottage with many original period features
Manor Cottage is a substantial Grade II listed family home in sought-after Barnham, offering generous living space across multiple reception rooms and a separate self-contained annexe. The house combines original period features — exposed beams, parquet flooring and open fireplaces — with modern fittings in the kitchen and bathrooms, making it ready for comfortable family living while retaining strong character. A large walled garden, greenhouse, summer house and off-street parking complete the outdoor picture for children and pets.
The layout suits multi-generation households or those who need flexible accommodation, with a 24ft dual-aspect living room, a dining/kitchen with vaulted ceiling, and an annexe that can house guests or be incorporated into the main house. Nearby Barnham village provides primary schooling and local amenities, while Chichester, Arundel and the West Sussex coast are easily reached. Rail services from Barnham to London add commuter convenience.
Buyers should note material constraints: the listed status will restrict alterations and could complicate maintenance or extension plans. The property has solid brick walls with assumed no cavity insulation, contributing to its EPC D rating and potentially higher heating costs. Council tax is described as quite expensive. The surrounding area records higher crime levels than average; buyers may wish to investigate local crime data themselves.
Overall this is a large, characterful family home with period charm, versatile accommodation and substantial outdoor space. It will particularly suit buyers who value location, heritage details and room to adapt, and who are prepared to manage listed‑building responsibilities and the property’s energy and tax implications.
