A Charming Grade II Listed Village Home

Church House is a delightful Grade II listed detached cottage, believed to date from the 16th Century, formerly thought to have been three individual cottages. Steeped in history, the property combines period character with versatile accommodation, enjoying a prominent position in the heart of Thakeham village, one of West Sussex’s most picturesque and sought-after locations.

The house offers an abundance of original features, including exposed beams and a welcoming inglenook fireplace with woodburning stove, whilst also providing the practicality of modern family living.

The front door opens into the entrance hall which leads to the snug, a cosy space ideal for reading or relaxation. The accommodation continues into a generous sitting room, with feature fireplace and wood-burning stove, perfect for winter evenings.

A more formal dining room provides an excellent setting for entertaining, while a study offers space for home working or could be adapted as a playroom.

The kitchen is full of country character, equipped with an Rayburn, conventional oven, space for a fridge/freezer, and ample room for a breakfast table, making it the heart of the home. There is a utility room, adding further convenience. A bathroom completes the ground floor accommodation.

There are two staircases leading to the first floor from the snug or the study, where three double bedrooms and a further single bedroom can be found. A dressing room adjoins the principal bedroom, providing additional storage or a potential nursery space and a family bathroom serves the upstairs rooms.

Outside

The property benefits from a large garage with workshop area and store to the front, providing excellent storage and scope for hobby use. There is also an additional garden store and a summer house, ideal for enjoying the garden throughout the year. The tranquil garden is laid out to offer both practicality and enjoyment, with a patio terrace for outdoor dining and a well stocked garden with a variety of plants and shrubs.

Church House represents a rare opportunity to acquire a truly unique period home with rich history and generous accommodation. Blending character and practicality, it is ideally suited to families or buyers seeking a village home with heritage and charm.
