Set in the South Downs National Park, this Grade II listed one-bedroom cottage blends restored period character with practical modern upgrades. The current owners completed a sensitive, professional refurbishment using traditional heritage materials, exposing original stonework and beams while fitting a contemporary shower room and kitchen. It has run successfully as a holiday let and is offered chain free.
The ground-floor living room feels cosy, centred on a woodburner and exposed brickwork, with a compact kitchen leading to an alley and steep steps up to a surprisingly large, sheltered rear garden with lawn, raised beds, oak pergola and seating. The first-floor double bedroom benefits from garden views and a handy cupboard; a landing/study area offers a quiet workspace.
Important practical points: the house is listed, which can restrict alterations and add consent requirements; the property shows some signs listed as potential issues in the description (mentions of damp restoration needs and roof/chimney work), and rooms are characterfully compact with low ceilings in places. Parking is not formally allocated — an off-street option exists and owners have an informal arrangement for a nearby space on Sandy Lane, which prospective buyers should confirm.
This cottage will suit someone seeking a characterful lock-up-and-leave village home, a bolthole for countryside living, or an investor wanting an established holiday-let income. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the unusual garden access and the way period features have been retained alongside modern comforts.
