Characterful listed cottage with sweeping South Downs views and large garden.
Grade II Listed cottage with original beams and inglenook fireplace
Wyckham Farm Cottage is a handsome Grade II Listed brick-and-flint cottage set in a large plot with expansive views toward the South Downs. The house retains genuine period character—exposed beams, inglenook fireplace, bread oven and original timbers—offering a rare countryside home close to Steyning. The short driveway and off-street parking lead to a garden with mixed planting, vegetable beds and a sauna deck with panoramic vistas.
This attached cottage requires further renovation and modernisation. The Listed status will restrict some works and may complicate alterations; outbuildings previously had consent for an annexe but that permission has lapsed. There is a serviced two-bedroom mobile home on the plot without formal planning consent and a private water supply; both are potential assets but will need investigation and any necessary regularisation.
Practical considerations include very slow broadband, average mobile signal, and a medium flood risk — factors that may affect remote working and insurance. The property is well placed for countryside recreation with direct access to the Downs Link and is within about two miles of Steyning’s amenities and schools. This is a character-rich opportunity for a buyer prepared to undertake renovation, or an investor seeking to unlock value subject to Listed-building and planning constraints.
Offers appeal to buyers who prize rural outlooks and historic fabric over turnkey convenience. For those willing to manage conservation requirements and services regularisation, the site’s size, views and outbuildings provide scope to create a striking country home or a small development opportunity subject to consents.
