The Property
The White Cottage is an “eco house”. It was recently renovated to near “Passive House” green-energy standards. It has underfloor heating supplied by an air source heat pump, requires little energy due to being air-tight and has mechanical ventilation and clay walls to maintain a proper internal humidity. All the paints and cabinets are low VOC. The house is warm, healthy and green. The property is situated at the southern end of the beautiful downland village of Elsted. It lies against longstanding pasture and enjoys wonderful views to the South Downs.
As a result of various upgrades over the last decade the cottage has supported an outdoor family who have enjoyed its proximity to walks, bike rides, excellent village infrastructure including a popular public house, tennis court, historic church and thriving cricket club and village hall.
The owners had acquired planning consent in 2018 to extend the property and have partially implemented these plans. They have let the property in recent years as are moving abroad hence the sale. The planning consent SDNP/18/04937/HOUS illustrates the plans. As it stands, it has versatile ground and first floor accommodation and an interesting tiered garden which enjoys in the main part a fantastic aspect south and west.
Gardens and Grounds
There is a terraced area to the rear of The White Cottage and landscaping that takes advantage of the sensational views.
At the foot of its plot there is a garage and log store. At one of the lower tiers there is a substantial timber store, play area with log store and composting area. At the highest point in its plot there is a chalet style timber structure with provision for enhancement (electricity, water and drains). There is also a built in outdoor circular fire pit, ideal for social gatherings.
The Location
The village of Elsted has a popular pub, church, village hall, tennis courts and cricket pitch with one of the best views in West Sussex and is situated within the South Downs National Park between the market towns of Midhurst and Petersfield. The larger village of South Harting is two miles distant and has a post office, shop, public house and a church.
The towns of Midhurst and Petersfield are close by and provide for most everyday needs, whilst Guildford in Surrey and the Cathedral city of Chichester, both with renowned Theatres, are within easy reach and have more extensive shopping and leisure facilities. The A3 provides fast access to London, the motorway network, Gatwick, Heathrow and Southampton airports, whilst the mainline station at Haslemere provides a fast service to London Waterloo.
Midhurst and the surrounding area have much to offer with Polo at Cowdray Park, racing at Goodwood and Fontwell, golf at Cowdray Park, Goodwood, Pulborough and Liphook, motor racing at the Goodwood circuit and sailing out of Chichester Harbour and other centres along the South Coast. There are many footpaths and bridleways in the area for walking and riding.
