3 bedroom end of terrace house for sale

A beautifully appointed Grade II Listed cottage, situated at the foot of the South Downs with wonderful far reaching farmland views in the hamlet of West Stoke, the gateway to the Kingley Vale National Nature Reserve.

The property is constructed of attractive brick and flint elevations beneath a clay tiled roof. Upon entering the property, via a stable front door, access is gained to the delightful sitting room. This space sets the tone for what is to come, as the room features a wealth of exposed beams and a stunning inglenook fireplace, equipped with a most attractive wood burner. The countryside views are evident even at ground floor level from the sitting room, whilst wide set floorboards provide a continual flow into the dining room and kitchen. Here, a well-appointed dining area with utility recess and storage, connects open plan to the contemporary fitted kitchen, complete with integral appliances and benefitting from a conservation window and garden views. A rear boot/lobby with door to garden completes the ground floor accommodation.

The first floor features a well proportioned principal bedroom, with an original fireplace and an area of vaulted ceiling featuring exposed timbers and two mezannine storage areas. There are two built in wardrobes and stunning views. From the landing access is gained to the contemporary style family bathroom and separate cloakroom. Stairs rise to the second floor, where two single bedrooms are to be found.

The rear garden is a wonderful feature of property and is accessed via a paved pathway and gate to the side of the cottage. Fully enclosed by panel fencing and defined ‘zones’, an attractive paved terrace extends to an initial area of lawn bordered by mature plants and shrubs. At the far end of the garden is a gravelled entertaining area ideal for eating al fresco.

An additional gravelled area of garden (which forms an L-shape) has raised and sleeper retained beds, whilst the large garden cabin at the end is currently purposed as an office workspace but could make for a hobby space, gym or guest suite. The garden as a whole is complimented by an original brick shed, a large timber-clad store, a greenhouse and a garden office. A freehold garage is located at the far end of this row of properties.
