This Grade II listed, 16th‑century timber‑framed cottage sits opposite the 13th‑century church in peaceful Exton, within the South Downs National Park. The house retains extensive original character — exposed beams, low ceilings, brick walls and a large beamed sitting room with a log burner — while offering comfortable, well‑proportioned living spaces across about 1,616 sq ft.
Accommodation includes three double bedrooms with part‑vaulted ceilings, an ensuite shower room, family bathroom and a spacious kitchen‑breakfast extension that opens to a conservatory and a south‑westerly garden. Outside there is a detached garage, driveway parking and mature, well‑stocked gardens that enhance privacy and provide pleasant outdoor living.
Practical considerations: the house is Grade II listed (which restricts alterations), constructed with solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, and heated by an oil boiler. Energy performance is poor (EPC F) and council tax is in Band G. There is a medium flood risk and private drainage; these factors will affect running costs and renovation scope.
This property will suit buyers seeking historic charm in an idyllic countryside setting — families or downsizers who value character and location, and buyers prepared to manage listed‑building constraints and upgrade energy performance where desired. Fast full‑fibre broadband, good local schools and easy access to nearby market towns add everyday convenience.
