Guide price

A delightful Grade II listed cottage forming part of an original Wealden hall of 15th Century origin or earlier, with a Horsham stone roof to the front slope and steep tiling to the rear. In recent years the present owner has carried out a sympathetic programme of modernisation creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere with slate tiling to the open-plan ground floor with its fine Inglenook fireplace and wood-burning stove, and with much of the original timber framework on display. The well-designed cottage kitchen overlooks the attractive garden and there is the advantage of a ground floor cloakroom and luxury bathroom on the first floor. Inspection is highly recommended to appreciate this period gem which is immaculately presented throughout. There is gas-fired central heating to radiators.

Church Street contains some of the best domestic architecture in the county spanning several centuries and the cottage is within the Conservation Area. It is in the centre of the town, two minutes from the High Street with useful shops, Post Office, etc. The small country town lies in the lee of the South Downs National Park and many recreational, cultural and sporting facilities are at hand.

The mainline railway station at Shoreham-by-Sea is about five miles away and the larger coastal towns of Worthing and Brighton are eight and 12 miles respectively. Horsham, Crawley and Gatwick Airport can normally be reached in about 40 minutes by car.
