House For Sale £500,000
Church Street, Steyning BN44

The house is a Grade II listed building, originally two 18th Century cottages, the larger at one time being a small shop, evidenced by the bay window overlooking Church Street. The balance of windows in the attractive 28' (8.6m) red brick frontage are horizontally sliding sash on the first floor, with a ground floor sash window in No.27 with flintwork beneath. The roof is pitched and tiled. The property is now in need of significant renovation works and the opportunity exists for a buyer to create a delightful period home by revealing the original internal structure, which is presently concealed by modern plastering and Artex. The original inglenook remains to set the theme. Stepping outside, the private and peaceful garden is quite sizeable for an urban dwelling, and overall there is enormous potential. Vacant possession: No chain.

Church Street contains some of the best domestic architecture in the county spanning several centuries and the cottage is within the Conservation Area. It is in the centre of the town, two minutes from the High Street with useful shops, Post Office, etc. The small country town lies in the lee of the South Downs National Park and many recreational, cultural and sporting facilities are at hand.

The main line railway station at Shoreham-by-Sea is about five miles away and the larger coastal towns of Worthing and Brighton are eight and 12 miles respectively. Horsham, Crawley and Gatwick Airport can normally be reached in about 40 minutes by car.
