Full description
A charming period cottage in the heart of the South Downs National Park with no onward chain.
A charming three-bedroom end-of-terrace period cottage, pleasantly situated within the idyllic village of West Marden, in the heart of the glorious South Downs National Park. The property offers a wonderful opportunity to modernise and personalise, whilst retaining much character and charm.
The cottage features a rendered front elevation, complemented by an attractive exposed flint and brick rear elevation. Modern double-glazed windows have been installed, and a new oil-fired combination boiler was fitted in 2024, serving radiators on both ground and first floors.
The accommodation briefly comprises an entrance hall, two well-proportioned reception rooms, each benefiting from a fireplace, and a kitchen. To the first floor are three bedrooms and a bathroom.
Outside, the front garden is borded on two sides by a combination of walling and hedging, while the rear garden provides a particularly good opportunity for the new owner to create their own outdoor space, being principally laid to lawn and offering a blank canvas for landscaping. There are also two small brick and flint outbuildings, each beneath a tiled roof.
The property benefits from a pedestrian right of way over the rear garden of the neighbouring cottage.
West Marden is an attractive rural village situated within the South Downs National Park, approximately 10 miles north-west of Chichester and a similar distance south-east of Petersfield, providing an appealing combination of village life and access to the surrounding countryside.
The property is being sold with no onward chain.

Why live in Chichester?
We consider ourselves very lucky to be working in a city that blends so many different architectural styles, from elegant Georgian buildings to contemporary new apartments and waterside properties that overlook the harbour.
In 2013, The Sunday Times listed Chichester as one of the top places to live in the UK with ‘something for everyone’ – and they weren’t wrong. Chichester is a cathedral city, a county town and home to some of the oldest churches and buildings in the country. There are many well-regarded public and state schools in the local area with further and higher education options available from Chichester College, West Dean College and the University of Chichester. Our great schools have always made Chichester very appealing for those looking for the perfect place to raise a family.
