Chates Cottage is a thoughtfully restored period cottage set in an exceptional rural setting on the outskirts of Henfield. The architect-led renovation and extension combine original character — vaulted oak-framed living space and exposed beams — with modern comforts including an air-source heat pump, underfloor heating to ground floor and high-quality double glazing. The principal bedroom with ensuite sits on the ground floor, while two further double bedrooms occupy the first floor.
The house sits within about 8.38 acres of formally planted gardens, wildlife meadows and riparian margins to the River Adur, offering long private walks and plenty of outdoor variety. A separate timber pavilion provides studio/guest accommodation with kitchenette and shower — useful as an occasional income source or private office/annexe — and there is an oak-framed garage and potting shed.
Practical points are presented plainly: broadband speeds are very slow in this location despite excellent mobile signal, and parts of the meadows lie within the river flood plain so they are not suitable for year-round grazing or intensive access. Council tax is above average (Band E). Overall, the property is freehold, energy-efficient for a rural home (EPC C) and designed for low external maintenance, appealing to buyers who value privacy, natural landscape and an energy-conscious conversion.
