Lipscombe Cottage is a rare Grade II listed timber‑framed home believed to date from the 1600s, set on a large, well‑stocked plot with wide countryside views. The house retains strong period character: inglenook fireplace, exposed beams and original doors, balanced with a sympathetic orangery that brings light into the kitchen/dining space. The detached double garage with boarded loft and gated driveway offers practical parking and workshop space for hobbyists or gardeners.
This property will suit a buyer who values historic character and a semi‑rural lifestyle close to Rusper, Capel and Horsham. The generous garden, fishpond and potting area provide scope for outdoor living and homegrown produce. Interiors are comfortable and arranged over two floors, with three bedrooms and a family bathroom; the conservatory opens directly onto a terrace for entertaining.
Important practical points: the listed status means alterations will be restricted and formal consents may be required. Broadband speeds are very slow, and there is a single family bathroom — factors to consider for modern family life or remote working. Council tax is described as quite expensive. Overall, this is a lifestyle purchase: character, land and privacy in exchange for the usual responsibilities of owning a historic, listed cottage.
