Overview

Tucked away along a wooded lane, this detached cottage-style property occupies a highly sought-after and private position.

A south-facing lawn extends from the conservatory, ideal for outdoor seating and entertaining, while other areas include a shaded seating space beneath a leafy canopy and a further terraced section currently used for fruit and vegetable growing, set against the backdrop of the Downs. The garden is enclosed and bordered in part by an attractive original stone wall, enhancing the sense of privacy and character.
