Meadow Cottage is a spacious, characterful detached home in Charlton, set on a large south-facing plot within easy reach of Goodwood and Chichester. The reception rooms flank a central hall, and a triple-aspect sitting room over 22ft with beamed ceiling, fireplace and wood-burning stove opens to a paved terrace and the garden. A cosy snug/study, separate dining room and well-appointed kitchen with adjacent utility provide flexible day-to-day living and useful work-from-home space.
Upstairs there are three bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, a study area/office or nursery and a generous family bathroom. Practical features include a large attached garage with remote door, additional parking, a cloakroom with shower for muddy boots after countryside walks, greenhouse and raised vegetable beds. The house sits within the South Downs National Park setting and benefits from fast broadband and a pleasant village location close to local pubs, footpaths and country attractions.
Buyers should note the property’s age and traditional construction: external walls are sandstone/limestone with no assumed insulation, glazing is secondary, and the main heating is an oil-fired boiler with radiators. These features may require upgrading for efficiency. There is a medium flood risk for the area and council tax is described as expensive, which are important practical considerations.
This home will suit buyers seeking a character cottage with generous outdoor space in a rural, village setting — families, those looking for countryside amenity within commuting distance of Chichester, or downsizers wanting a single-storey-feel to the ground floor. It offers immediate liveability with clear potential for sympathetic energy improvements and interior modernisation to enhance comfort and running costs.
