A charming flint-fronted Victorian cottage in the heart of Steyning, offered with no onward chain. The house is compact (approx. 420 sq ft) and well-located: Charlton Street runs adjacent to the High Street, and the private rear garden backs onto playing fields with southerly views across the South Downs towards Cissbury Ring. That garden and aspect are genuine strengths — rare for a central cottage — and make the property attractive for outdoor living or a holiday-let pitch.
Internally the layout is traditional and straightforward: a living room to the front, a generous kitchen to the rear, one double bedroom and a notably large bathroom on the first floor. The property is presented as a blank canvas and will suit buyers who want to update and personalise rather than move straight in. Practical points: the cottage has double glazing installed before 2002, an older boiler and mains gas radiators, and the granite/flint walls are likely uninsulated.
Important factual drawbacks are stated plainly: the total living area is small, and the house will benefit from cosmetic and energy-efficiency improvements (EPC D). The immediate area records higher crime levels, and the plot is very small with limited outdoor space. Positives include freehold tenure, no chain, affordable council tax (Band C) and fast broadband, making it realistic for a first home or a short-term rental investment.
This property is best for a first-time buyer or investor willing to accept a small footprint in exchange for town-centre convenience and exceptional countryside views. It promises scope to improve value through targeted updating and insulation, while offering immediate rental or holiday-let potential because of its location and garden aspect.
