Description

Donnington Cottage is a most attractive detached period property, Listed Grade II, with origins we believe dating back to the 16th Century. The older part of the house offers well proportioned rooms of great character retaining exposed timbers, flagstone floors in many rooms with two impressive inglenook fireplaces.

The current owners have added a superb modern extension comprising of a glazed reception hall linking the old cottage with the new magnificent vaulted kitchen/breakfast/living room.

On the first floor there is a good size principal bedroom with wide exposed floorboards and wall timbers. Adjoining this room is a dressing room that could be used as an occasional bedroom. There are two further bedrooms and a family bathroom with lovely views over the gardens towards open farmland.

The surrounding gardens predominantly back onto open farmland to southern and western boundaries. There is ample parking and a detached English Heritage oak framed double car port with attached large workshop. In the gardens there is also a home office with cloak and shower room.

The location of Donnington Cottage has many attractions being within easy reach of Chichester, close to the footpaths and cycle paths along the banks of the canal and within a couple of miles of Chichester Marina with the sandy beaches and National Trust Reserve at East Head in West Wittering approximately 7 miles to the south.

Donnington village itself has a local church and small parade of shops. Chichester city centre is barely a mile and half to the north and has an excellent range of shops, restaurants and bistros, and local activities including the Pallant House Gallery, Chichester Festival and Minerva Theatres. To the north the rich countryside of the South Downs National Park and the South Downs Way with the Goodwood Estate hosting a number of events throughout the year including the Festival of Speed, Revival and Members Meeting at its historic motor circuit.
