Batchmere Road, Batchmere, PO20

Plovers Cottage is a charming and beautifully presented semi-detached period home built circa 1864, combining character, comfort and versatility, set within a generous plot in the peaceful rural hamlet of Batchmere. Surrounded by established gardens and complemented by a range of useful outbuildings, the property offers spacious and flexible accommodation ideal for family living. The heart of the home is the Sylvarna kitchen/breakfast room, a characterful space featuring a delightful dual aspect, exposed beams, and elegant white Shaker-style cabinetry topped with granite work surfaces. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher, while a discreet utility cupboard in the hallway houses the washing machine, ensuring practicality without compromising style. The kitchen flows into the dining area, where solid hardwood flooring, a striking wall of windows, patio doors, and roof lights combine to create a wonderfully bright and airy space with direct access to the garden. The sitting room is inviting, centred around a modern Morso Badger log burner set within a rustic brick fireplace and sash windows. The ground floor further benefits from a generously sized bedroom suite enjoying picturesque garden views through a large picture window. A near en-suite shower room, accessed separately, has allowed this suite to operate successfully as a holiday let for several years, offering excellent income potential or flexible accommodation for guests, multi-generational living, or home working.

Please contact the agent for further details of the income for the room.

On the first floor are three further bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes. The principal bedroom features a designated dressing area and access to a Jack and Jill bathroom, fitted with a shower over the bath and additional vanity storage. The gardens are a true highlight of Plovers Cottage. Lovingly maintained by the current owners for over 30 years, they are bordered by mature hedges and trees. A paved pathway leads to a productive vegetable garden with a large greenhouse, while colourful planted borders provide year-round interest. To the rear lies an established orchard of apple and pear trees, within which sits a bespoke beautifully presented shepherd’s hut, which generates a further income stream. This is available by separate negotiation and is not included in the sale of Plovers Cottage. Please see link below. To the front of the property, a gravel driveway provides parking for several vehicles. A substantial workshop, which previously benefited from planning permission for a three-bedroom bungalow, presents exciting future potential (subject to the necessary consents), alongside two further outbuildings. Chichester District Council Ref 20/01130/FUL. Additional features include newly fitted secure composite front and guest entrance doors, double-glazed windows and doors throughout, and a fully insulated loft with fitted ladder, offering scope for conversion (subject to any required consents).
