2 bedroom terraced house for sale

Council tax band: D

Pear Tree Cottage forms part of an attractive terrace of cottages believed to date from 1824 and built as estate farm workers' dwellings with rendered elevations under a pitched and slate-tiled roof. The cottage occupies an elevated position and abuts farmland to the rear, and all rooms enjoy a country aspect in this delightful traffic-free environment. The accommodation includes double-aspect sitting room with fitted log-burner, double aspect kitchen/breakfast room and modern bathroom. Full double glazing and gas-fired central heating provide comfort and economy. The rear garden backs onto open farmland with a south-facing garden to the front, arranged on two levels and thoughtfully landscaped to provide a secluded cottage garden with productive vegetable section beyond.

The cottage is situated just a few minutes' walk from Steyning's highly picturesque High Street and Mouse Lane also gives direct access to miles of beautiful countryside on the South Downs. Steyning is a small town of historical interest and the centre contains many fine period buildings. There is a wide choice of leisure and sports activities available, including the leisure centre with swimming pool. Local shops cater for day-to-day needs and larger stores are at Shoreham-by-Sea (also mainline railway station), Worthing and Brighton. Steyning is convenient for daily travel to Horsham, Crawley and Gatwick, which are normally within about 40 minutes' drive.
