Description

Apiary Cottage is a traditional detached brick and flint cottage, full of charm, situated in the heart of Compton, within the South Downs National Park. Rolling farmland, mature trees and a deep sense of peace and privacy surround it, yet the village store and café are just a moment’s walk down the road.

Step into a welcoming entrance and on to the sitting/family room which is full of character, with exposed beams, a brick fireplace and a wood-burning stove. Sliding doors open onto the extensive rear garden, flooding the room with light and making it a natural place for family gatherings.

The kitchen is backed up by a larder and utility room, and a separate dining room is made for entertaining. A study provides a ready-made home office, and a downstairs shower room adds everyday convenience. Upstairs, five bedrooms are served by two bathrooms.

A cellar and a range of versatile outbuildings add real flexibility: a garage with studio above that includes its own cloakroom and ideal for a variety of uses from an art studio, teenage space or a work from home office detached from the main house. Beneath the studio is a music room and storage area which could be converted to other uses such as a studio space and storage. There is a separate former pigsty and "village cobblers" workshop that create opportunities for a variety of different uses.

The gardens are the showpiece. Extensive and thoughtfully laid out, they combine lawns, trees, shrubs, seating areas, a greenhouse and both closed and open summer houses, all framed by open farmland and the South Downs beyond. It’s rural seclusion with everything within easy reach.

The Beehive is a detached cottage within the grounds of Apiary Cottage currently let at a rent of £1495.00 per calendar month. It comprises 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, 2 reception rooms, car parking, a garage and a private rear garden.

Compton is a picturesque village at the heart of the South Downs, with a village store and café, a recreation ground and a primary school. A strong community feel and several listed buildings dating from the 15th to 18th centuries, including the church, give it real character. It’s a favourite with hikers, walkers, dog owners and cyclists, and the store and café make a popular refreshment stop.

Chichester, Petersfield and the south coast are all within easy reach. Compton sits on the B2146, southeast of Petersfield and northwest of Chichester, and is served by the Chichester to Petersfield Stagecoach bus route.
