Summary - Timberden Farm Cottage, Shacklands Road, Shoreham TN14 7TX
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Large four-bed cottage on a generous plot with triple garage and countryside views..
Chain-free detached period cottage with character features
Timberden Farm Cottage is a substantial detached period home set on a very large plot in sought-after Shacklands Road, Shoreham. Built from 18th-century cottages and extended in the 1970s, the house retains character features such as exposed beams, twin fireplaces and a long reception room that opens to a conservatory overlooking the garden. The property includes four bedrooms, a study, cellar, loft storage and a triple garage with driveway parking.
The setting is a key strength: semi-rural village location with far-reaching countryside views, easy access to Shoreham’s village amenities, Thameslink station and several well-regarded schools. The generous garden, mature trees and summer house offer scope for outdoor living and landscaping, while the sizeable internal footprint (almost 3,000 sq ft) gives flexibility for growing families or home working.
Practical considerations are clear. The house needs renovation and updating throughout, has secondary glazing, solid brick walls with no insulation (assumed) and electric warm-air heating, resulting in an EPC rating of F. Services include mains water and electricity but a private sewage system; the property sits in Green Belt and AONB, which will restrict major extensions. Council tax is Band G and running costs should be factored into any offer.
For buyers seeking a large period home with village atmosphere and strong potential, Timberden Farm Cottage offers a rare, chain-free opportunity to modernise and personalise a character property on a generous plot. It will particularly suit purchasers prepared to carry out improvement works or to remodel sympathetically within planning constraints.
