Full description

Located in the heart of this picturesque village, a Grade II listed cottage, dating back to circa 1760, stands as a testament to historical charm and character. Once the village bakery, this unique 3-bedroom semi-detached house offers a truly special living experience spread across varying levels.

Steps lead up from the charming courtyard driveway to a lovely entrance hall. The spacious sitting room featuring a vaulted ceiling and a striking open fire, setting the tone for cosy evenings in. A dedicated study provides the perfect space for remote work or relaxing with a good book. The kitchen has room for appliances but would benefit from updating. There is a bathroom and separate shower room, which is also an en-suite to bedroom one. The three double bedrooms offer peaceful retreats. The property is complete with a single garage and driveway parking, ensuring convenience in this idyllic village setting.

Outside, this cottage boasts a south west rear gardens with a gate from the cottages garden to the recreation ground and easy access to the Half Moon pub. There is parking for several vehicles to the front of the property. The cottage is located very centrally for this charming English village and would benefit from some restoring and improvement to preserve the history for the future.

Why live in Storrington?

This picture-perfect village lies at the foot of the South Downs National Park, halfway along the South Downs Way. Properties here include bungalows, family homes and the famous Wells cottages that were individually designed by the architect Reginald Fairfax Wells in the 1920s to look and feel like 17th century buildings with thatched roofs, small windows and whitewashed exteriors.

Many of the homes in Storrington have wonderful views across rolling countryside and a conservation area just off the bustling high street ensures Storrington will remain as beautiful as it is today for generations to come.

There are lots of specialist shops in the town and convenient amenities such as the large recreational ground with its football and cricket pitches, the Chanctonbury Leisure Centre and an abundance of community groups offering classes in all sorts of interesting activities from ballroom dancing to photography. For a spot of culture, visit the Parham House and Gardens or the local Storrington and District Museum and for outdoor pursuits, take time to explore the natural beauty of the South Downs on foot, bike or horseback or, for a truly spectacular experience, take to the air in a glider.

Our local schools belong to a cluster group called STARS (Storrington Area Rural Schools) and, between them, offer a choice of paths from Reception through to Year 13. Steyning Grammar School is included in the list of STARS and is a popular choice as it’s non-selective and has its own Sixth Form.

Storrington is well connected too; the nearest train station is in the neighbouring village of Pulborough. The five-mile journey only takes 10 minutes by car or you can take a bus; the bus timetable is synced with the train timetable to make life even easier for local commuters.
