Picknell Cottage is a classic period semi-detached cottage tucked in the conservation village of Fittleworth, within the South Downs National Park. The house offers three bedrooms, a living room with an inglenook and wood burner, a kitchen/breakfast room with a Rayburn oil-fired range, and a delightful multi-level cottage garden surrounding the house on three sides. Two private off-street parking spaces sit at the rear.
The property has strong character—exposed beams, flagstone hearth, polished timber floors and mature planting—making it an attractive country family home or a project for someone seeking to add value. It sits close to an award-winning village shop, inn, and countryside walks, with Pulborough mainline station about three miles away.
Important practical points: the house needs renovation, currently uses oil-fired heating and has an EPC rating of F. The granite/whinstone walls are assumed uninsulated and improvement works such as insulation, heating upgrade and modernisation will be required to reduce running costs. Double glazing has been installed post-2002.
This is a home with clear upside for buyers willing to invest in sympathetic refurbishment. The peaceful village setting, generous, well-planned garden and parking are genuine strengths; buyers should budget for energy efficiency improvements and general updating to bring the property up to modern standards.
