A pretty semi-detached brick & flint cottage in a private courtyard setting surrounded by the unspoilt countryside of the South Downs National Park and close to miles of footpaths & bridlepaths through Kingley Vale Nature Reserve.

This attractive brick & flint cottage once formed part of the West Stoke House Estate and is tucked away in a private setting, just behind the parish church. A sheltered west facing garden is surrounded by a well-established beech hedge with a pathway leading directly to the front porch. This opens on to a light and spacious kitchen/dining/family room of 20' in length fitted with an excellent range of kitchen units, hardwood worksurfaces and integrated appliances. There is also a two oven Aga set in an attractive chimney recess with bresumer beam. A cosy double aspect sitting room lies to one side with attractive ornamental fireplace fitted with an electric woodburning effect stove. A tiled hallway from the kitchen/family room leads to a useful ground floor cloaks/shower room and separate utility room with back door to the garden. On the first floor there are three good size bedrooms with a large family bathroom. Two of the bedrooms look over the adjacent courtyard towards attractive former brick & flint farm buildings which have also been converted to nearby cottages. One of the bedrooms has views over neighbouring countryside towards Kingley Vale Nature Reserve.

The cottage is approached by way of a shared driveway leading to 2 parking spaces owned by the cottage and located nearby. The easily maintained garden is west facing with an attractive mature beech hedge. Pathways lead to both front and back doors and a neat area of lawn has borders to the south planted with shrubs and perennials.

2 Garden Cottages is discreetly located behind the parish church in this pretty downland village of West Stoke, arguably one of the most sought-after locations north of Chichester being surrounded by some of the richest countryside in the county yet within easy reach of Goodwood, Chichester, Bosham and the coast.

Goodwood with its wide choice of facilities, golf courses and famous race course also plays host to the annual Festival of Speed and the September Revival meeting at its historic motor circuit. All within some 4 miles.

Chichester also provides a mainline station providing a regular service to London Victoria in about 1 hour 45 minutes and a slightly faster alternative service can be found from Havant to London Waterloo in about 1 hour 20 minutes. Local halts with connections to both services can be found in Bosham, Southbourne and Nutbourne.
