Full description

This charming four-bedroom character cottage is set in a desirable semi-rural location and offers a wealth of character throughout its thoughtfully arranged accommodation. Accessed via a private lane leading to the ample parking area for the property.

The welcoming kitchen is a highlight, featuring a wood burner, an electric Aga with gas hob, a practical pantry with space for a washing machine, and a stable door that adds a traditional touch. The sitting room provides a cosy atmosphere with its open fire, making it an inviting space to relax or entertain.

Upstairs, the main bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room, while two further bedrooms on the first floor are complemented by a well-appointed family bathroom. A spacious double bedroom is located on the second floor, offering flexibility for guests or a home office. The property also includes an outbuilding that has been finished to first fix, presenting an ideal opportunity for use as a utility room with cloakroom facilities (subject to finishing works).

The garden boasts a walled garden and a generous patio area, perfect for entertaining, complete with an outdoor fire for year-round enjoyment. The enclosed garden to the rear, which would originally have been the front of the property when built which we believe to be around 400 years ago, is accessed directly from the sitting room, provides a private retreat. This delightful home is offered with a vendor who is suited and a complete onward chain, ensuring a smooth and efficient transaction process for prospective buyers. With its blend of period features, practical living spaces, and peaceful setting, this cottage represents an exceptional opportunity for those seeking a characterful home in a sought-after semi-rural location.

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.
