Cooks Lane, Walderton, Chichester, West Sussex

With its versatile, flowing, light-filled accommodation, Ashfield offers an atmosphere characteristic of its era.

Bright open spaces are connected with subtle level changes, and natural tones of wood and panelling flow between the kitchen and living room. Boundaries between the garden and the house are blurred by the floor to ceiling ribbon windows, with skylights bringing light deeper into the heart of the home.

The drawing room offers a relaxed setting for downtime with a fireplace as the focal point and glazed sliding doors offering a seamless transition to the outside, whilst the adjoining dining room provides the perfect spot to host family and friends. A flexible-use family room provides opportunities to create a quiet sitting space, a TV snug, or perhaps a children's playroom, with plenty of light making for a bright and open living space. The kitchen/breakfast room features decorative tiling and timber panelling and is fitted with high and low level cabinetry, and ancillary space is offered by the adjacent utility room, which leads out onto the garden or an adjacent door leading out to the front patio.

The property offers three bedrooms, with a fourth room giving options for use as an additional bedroom or a study with the benefit of French doors which give access to the garden. The principal and second bedrooms have extensive fitted wardrobe storage typical of the properties period, and enjoy south-westerly aspect, as well as plentiful space to create a comfortable homely environment.

Please note that the agents have been advised that there may be asbestos present at this property.

Open farmland and downland form the scenic backdrop to the rear garden which is mainly laid to lawn. The slight incline to the plot affords opportunities to place garden seating at the higher level and enjoy the glorious far reaching views, whilst evergreen hedging and mature shrubbery offers seclusion and a natural boundary. A row of paving provides access around the perimeter of the house, with a paved terrace providing an outdoor setting to sit and dine. In addition, at the frontage there is a sheltered patio which benefits from the south-easterly aspect. Timber fencing and a row of mature shrubs provide a divide to the front and side garden, with the approach to the property being via a pedestrian pathway and a drive which offers parking for several vehicles in addition to the double garage.

The village of Walderton enjoys a stunning South Downs setting, with outstanding walking, riding and cycling on the doorstep, along with a popular local pub and another in neighbouring Stoughton.
