Pond Cottage is a quintessential Grade II listed downland cottage set opposite the village pond and surrounded by south-facing gardens of just under half an acre. Believed to date from the sixteenth century, the house retains period features such as exposed timbers, flint walls and a bay-windowed sitting room, offering immediate historic character and charm.
The property is a large family-sized layout of around 1,823 sq ft with six bedrooms and two bathrooms formed from the original cottage and a 1967 side extension. Grounds are a major asset: an L-shaped rear garden, vegetable plot, mature planting, driveway parking and a detached single garage/garden store provide generous outdoor space and useful storage.
The cottage requires comprehensive renovation and updating throughout; services, finishes and layouts will need attention. As a Grade II listed building, any structural changes, extensions or modernisation will be subject to listed-building consent and may be constrained and costly. There is a high flood risk for the site, which must be considered for insurance and refurbishment planning.
Set in the South Downs National Park and a short drive from Goodwood and Chichester, the location suits buyers seeking rural life with nearby cultural and sporting amenities. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal make remote working viable. This property offers strong period appeal and generous land but is best suited to buyers comfortable with listed-building restrictions and a full renovation programme.
