3 bed cottage for sale

Lower Street, Fittleworth RH20

Believed to date in part to the late 1400s and extended towards the end of the Victorian era, this three bedroom cottage is situated within the South Downs village of Fittelworth, recently dubbed "the new Cotswolds". The current owners have lived here for almost 40 years and there is plenty of scope for modernisation and improvement.

Although there is an entrance along Lower Street, the property is usually accessed across Walnut Tree Yard, with two allocated parking spaces available right by the rear gate. Steps lead down to the main entrance, which opens into a lovely breakfast kitchen, with an oil fired Rayburn heating the hot water. The cosy living room features a woodburner beneath an Inglenook style fireplace. The dining room is next door, with a door onto the small front garden. There is a useful lobby / store with downstairs cloaks / wc beyond. Upstairs, all three bedrooms will take a double and the family bathroom is a really good size.

There is a terraced garden to two sides of the cottage, with very well stocked and mature shrub borders, patio seating areas, a timber shed and space to store logs. The newly reopened Swan Inn pub is just down the road, with the primary school, playground and community-run shop and cafe all within a few minutes walk. Further local amenities will be found at nearby Petworth and Pulborough, the latter having a mainline railway station with direct routes to London and Gatwick
