Summary - WESTBURTON COTTAGE, PULBOROUGH, WEST BURTON RH20 1HD
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious family home with private gardens and separate guest barn.
Grade II 17th-century part-thatched cottage with strong period character
Westburton Cottage is a handsome Grade II thatched house dating from the 17th century, recently renovated and set within just over 0.4 acres of classic English gardens inside the South Downs National Park. The house is large (about 3,025 sq ft), with generous reception rooms, a double-aspect principal suite and a converted barn that provides a self-contained guest bedroom with an en suite.
The property blends period character and modern comfort: exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace with original bread oven, and large triple-aspect windows sit alongside a refitted kitchen, utility room and updated bathrooms. The grounds wrap the house, offering private outdoor rooms and distant countryside views from an elevated position. A gravel driveway, double garage and outbuildings add practical parking and storage.
Buyers should be aware of a few material points: the house is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and may complicate future works; the heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators; and the current EPC rating is F. The walls are traditional sandstone/limestone and assumed uninsulated, so further energy upgrades may be limited by listed status.
This home will suit families or buyers seeking a spacious, characterful country residence with guest accommodation and generous grounds, who are comfortable with the responsibilities and constraints of owning a listed thatched property in a national park.
