This Grade II listed detached cottage dates from the 17th century and retains abundant original features: oak beams, exposed floorboards, leaded windows and open fireplaces. The sitting room has a woodburner and the sympathetically fitted kitchen/dining room includes a Rangemaster and central island, creating a characterful day space that opens to a south-facing terrace and garden. The plot backs onto Pulborough Brooks with long countryside views to the South Downs — a strong draw for buyers who prize rural outlooks within walking distance of village amenities and the mainline station.
The garden is a standout: an Indian stone terrace with awning, additional terraces, decked areas, lawn, two powered summerhouses and a playhouse. These outbuildings offer flexible use as a home office, hobbies room or games room and extend living options without altering the listed fabric. There's also a brick barbecue, wood shed and well-established planting giving privacy and evening sun.
Practical points are clear and factual. The house is believed to be over 400 years old with low ceiling heights in places and some compact room proportions typical of period cottages. It is offered chain free, which speeds purchase, but the Grade II listing will restrict alterations and could complicate extensions or significant modernisation. Flood risk is recorded as medium; buyers should obtain full advice and insurance quotes. Council tax is above average for the area.
Overall this property will suit someone seeking a character-filled village home with extensive garden amenities and countryside views, and who accepts the maintenance responsibilities and statutory constraints that come with a listed historic cottage.
