Summary - APPLEGARTH LONDON ROAD WATERSFIELD PULBOROUGH RH20 1NH
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Large private garden with stunning South Downs views, ready for family life.
Grade II listed thatched cottage with abundant period features
Set well back on about 0.75 acre in the South Downs National Park, this Grade II listed thatched cottage delivers genuine period character, expansive gardens and far-reaching rural views. The house dates from the 17th century and retains exposed beams, inglenook and beehive fireplaces, plus a large kitchen/breakfast room and useful outbuildings including a garage and ample parking.
The layout works well for family life: two main bedrooms on a split landing, a generous main bedroom with an en-suite, and a flexible third bedroom accessed via a secondary stair — ideal as a child’s room or home office. The grounds include a sunny Indian sandstone terrace, lawn, summerhouse, polytunnel and an informal kitchen garden area that will suit gardeners and smallholders.
Practical details and constraints are clear: the property is Grade II listed, which will affect alterations and maintenance; there are low head heights in parts of the ground floor; several historic fireplaces are non-operational; heating is LPG with a Rayburn; and council tax sits in Band G. A narrow strip of land on the northwest boundary is on a short lease to 2026 with a nominal annual fee.
Tools such as good mobile signal, standard-to-superfast broadband (up to c.76 Mbps) and convenient village facilities nearby (farm shop, inn, primary school, mainline station at Pulborough) make the cottage liveable for modern family life while preserving a strong historic character. Chain-free sale and low flood risk add further practical appeal.
