Summary - APPLEGARTH LONDON ROAD WATERSFIELD PULBOROUGH RH20 1NH
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Secluded 0.75-acre plot with panoramic South Downs views and ample parking.
Grade II listed thatched cottage full of period features and exposed beams
Set within the South Downs National Park, this Grade II listed thatched cottage sits on approximately 0.75 acre and offers extensive gardens, parking and a detached garage. The property dates from the 17th century or earlier and retains abundant period character: exposed beams, inglenook and beehive fireplaces, timber framing and leaded windows. Large dual-aspect kitchen/breakfast room and three bedrooms make it a comfortable family home in a rural setting.
The garden and terrace are standout features — a sunny Indian sandstone terrace, lawns, summerhouse, polytunnel, greenhouse and an informal top garden ideal for vegetables or small livestock. Rear views across fields are uninterrupted and the location provides direct access to countryside walks, a farm shop, pub and village amenities. Pulborough mainline station and local shopping are within easy reach.
Important practical points: the cottage is Grade II listed, which will restrict changes and may complicate some improvement works. Several fireplaces are non-operational and capped; there are low ceiling heights and some low headroom because of exposed beams. Heating is by LPG-fired boiler with a Rayburn in the kitchen; broadband is average (up to about 76 Mbps) and mobile signal is excellent for most networks. Council Tax Band G is relatively expensive.
Chain-free and freehold, this home will suit buyers seeking a character-filled rural residence with large private grounds and strong scope for sensitive updating rather than large-scale modernisation. Enquire about covenants and the small leased strip on the north-west boundary (annual fee of £10 until May 2026).
