DESCRIPTION
Tudor Cottage, as its name suggests, dates from the 1500's and is Grade II listed. The property has an interesting and well documented history with many unusual period features. It has been well maintained and improved by the present owners, now successfully combining bygone charm with up to date facilities including custom fitted kitchen, and a ground floor wet room. The spacious accommodation is both practical and conveniently planned with access from the rear to a lobby and utility area with adjacent wet room. The double aspect, kitchen/breakfast room leads through to a central hall and staircase. From here an inner hall leads to the study, conservatory and dining room which in turn opens into the sitting room with its wood-burning stove. The south facing conservatory offers the perfect vantage point to admire the delightful garden and downland views beyond. Stairs from the hall lead to the first floor and a large landing area giving access to four double bedrooms and a bathroom.

OUTSIDE
The property is approached by a gravelled driveway leading to ample parking and a timber framed car barn with nearby detached workshop and utility room. The thoughtfully landscaped gardens with their manicured lawns, laser straight box and yew hedges, York stone terraces and water fountain all combine to provide the perfect setting backed by rural views to the South Downs.
