A charming period cottage arranged over two floors, sitting directly onto Henfield Common with far-reaching views from the front bedroom. The sitting room retains exposed beams and a large open fireplace with a working log burner, creating immediate character and cosy appeal. The enclosed porch and south-facing front garden add everyday practicality for countryside living close to the village.
Accommodation is compact (about 575 sq ft) and simple in layout: sitting room, kitchen to the rear, two first-floor bedrooms and a bathroom. The plot is very small but benefits from a south-facing lawn, mature planting and a timber shed. There is also a 7 x 3m corner plot accessed via the neighbours garden that could be useful storage or planting space.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property is freehold and offered with vacant possession, mains drainage and electric storage heating. The walls are solid brick with no known insulation (as-built), and broadband speeds in the area are reported slow — both factors to consider if you plan to modernise. This cottage will suit buyers who prioritise character, location and immediate walkability to the High Street and countryside over a large, turn-key living space.
For first-time buyers or downsizers seeking a genuine period cottage within walking distance of shops, schools and countryside trails, this is a rare location offering charm and scope to improve heating, insulation and connectivity over time.
