Old Mill Cottage is a rare, character-filled period home believed to date from c.1745, set on a remarkably secluded, mature plot in Barnham. The detached cottage offers five bedrooms, two reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room with Aga, utility and ground-floor cloakroom — plus obvious annexe potential with two ground-floor bedrooms and a separate reception room. Original features such as beamed ceilings, period fireplaces and oak internal doors give the house strong period appeal.
The garden is a standout feature: very large, private and planted with mature trees, a pond, summer house/log cabin and decked areas. Off-street parking and garage access are available via a driveway; a further c.2.2 acres at the rear may be negotiable alongside the sale, providing rare scope for equestrian, smallholding or landscaping ambitions (not sold separately).
Practical considerations are clear and important. The property sits on solid brick walls (likely no cavity insulation), has double glazing of unknown install date and runs on mains gas boiler and radiators — so energy performance and heating costs may be higher than modern homes. Council tax is described as expensive and local crime levels are higher than average for the area. Some updating and targeted renovation would unlock both comfort and value.
This home will suit buyers who prioritise period character, outdoor space and flexibility — families seeking room to grow, those wanting part-annexe accommodation, or buyers with smallholding/land aspirations. It is offered freehold and lies about ½ mile from Barnham village centre and the mainline station, combining rural privacy with accessible local services and good links to Chichester and Gatwick.
