Summary - 2 Malthouse Cottages, Crypt Lane, Cocking GU29 0HP
3 bed 2 bath Bungalow
Spacious single-storey home with large garden and strong renovation potential.
Over one acre of private south-facing gardens with stream and mature trees
Set at the foot of the South Downs and approached along a quiet no-through lane, this spacious single-storey home occupies just over an acre of mature, private grounds with an attractive stream running through the garden. The principal rooms face south and enjoy wide views across lawned gardens, mature shrubs and specimen trees — a rare plot for village living with a peaceful, rural outlook.
The bungalow offers a generous 1,729 sq ft layout: a dual-aspect 21' sitting room with wood-burning stove and sliding doors, adjoining dining room, kitchen with adjacent utility and direct access to the double garage, plus three double bedrooms and two bathrooms. The linear, single-storey plan and generous room sizes provide comfortable family living and straightforward adaptation for different household needs.
The house requires updating and refurbishment throughout. Practical issues include an older oil-fired boiler (not a community system), double glazing installed before 2002, and general modernisation needs — these are reflected in the price and present clear scope to add value. Council tax is above average. On the positive side the property has mains-like comforts including electricity to the garage, good mobile signal and fast broadband, and sits in an affluent, very-low-crime parish within the South Downs National Park.
This is a strong opportunity for buyers seeking a large, single-level country home with significant garden and development potential. For families wanting easy access to countryside walks, a good local primary school choice and Midhurst’s highly rated secondary school nearby, the setting and scale will be particularly appealing. Renovation will be needed to bring services and finishes up to modern standards, but the site and layout give a clear roadmap to creating a fine rural residence.
