This Grade II listed cottage blends rare 15th-century character with practical village living. Vaulted ceilings, inglenook fireplaces and exposed beams give the house strong historic charm, while recent additions such as zoned underfloor heating across the whole ground floor add modern comfort for colder months. The property’s generous footprint (approximately 1,263 sq ft) includes two bedrooms, a large sitting room and separate reception spaces, plus front and rear gardens.
The location is a significant convenience: tucked in Lower Street, Pulborough, with day-to-day amenities close by and the mainline station within walking distance for direct links to Gatwick and London. The plot is large for the area and the setting sits within an affluent, small-town environment with good local schools and community facilities.
Buyers should be clear about important limitations. Listed status will restrict structural changes and may complicate maintenance or modernisation; planning and listed-building consents will be required for many works. There is a medium flood risk and the property’s historic walls are assumed to lack modern insulation, so further energy-efficiency improvements may be needed. The layout includes a single bathroom and some rooms show signs of needing updating.
For someone seeking a characterful, long-term home or a sympathetic renovation project, this cottage offers exceptional period detail and a desirable village address. Its combination of large living space, historic features and good transport links will suit buyers who value charm and are prepared for the obligations that come with a listed, older building.
