The propertyStone Cottage is a handsome period house thought to date back to the late 1800’s, and has been beautifully extended and refurbished by the current owners with an extensive programme of works concluding around 2012. The house has a lovely light and open feel throughout, and yet retains great character.

The impressive Martin Moore handmade kitchen with oil fired Aga revolves around a substantial central island, and opens into the Orangery style breakfast/dining room with lovely views over the gardens, and also opens into the large family room creating superb formal or family entertaining space.

The elegant drawing room has a log burning stove and lovely views over the gardens, and there is a further large study to the front.

The large detached triple barn provides versatile and well finished accommodation with lovely timbers and beams. There is a study and shower room on the ground floor and a large open bedroom with den on the first floor.

Planning permission has been granted to add an Orangery next to the dining room and drawing room, and separately, to substantially extend the kitchen side of the house creating a further two bedrooms. Further details can be found on the South Downs National Park planning website with reference SDNP/14/01121/LDP.
