Set on a gentle rise in one of the South Downs’ most attractive villages, this Grade II flint cottage combines period charm with far-reaching valley views. Exposed oak beams, an inglenook fireplace and a two-oven oil-fired Aga give the interior a warm, characterful feel, while numerous casement windows fill rooms with natural light. The layout includes a kitchen/breakfast room, sitting room, dining/snug, study and three bedrooms with an en-suite shower and a family bathroom with roll-top tub.
Outdoor space is a major asset: roughly one-third of an acre of terraced garden with multiple sitting areas and spectacular south- and west-facing vistas. Practical outbuildings include a barn-style three-bay open-front garage with loft studio above and a separate garden studio with plumbing—useful as a home office, hobby room or occasional guest space. Gravel driveway and five-bar gates provide off-road parking and sheltered covered parking under the oak-framed car port.
This property is ideal for buyers seeking rural character, space and southerly views within easy reach of Chichester and Goodwood. Note the house’s Listed Grade II status, which will restrict alterations and potentially add cost and delay to works. Council tax is described as quite expensive. For buyers who value authenticity and landscape over turnkey modernisation, this cottage is a rare village retreat in the South Downs National Park.
