House For Sale £925,000
Believed to date at its oldest part to 1480, Screech Cottage is a beautiful Grade II listed country home. Initially an 'Aisle Hall House', the property has been reconfigured, modernised, and extended over the years giving us the beautiful family home we see today.
A real highlight of the property is the stunning kitchen/breakfast/family room added by the current owner in 2000. This space features some wonderful period beams, a stunning vaulted ceiling, underfloor heating, double glazed doors and a beautiful kitchen with a Heatranger at its heart.
As one might expect from a property of this era, Screech Cottage benefits from a beautiful array of period features such as exposed timber beams, inglenook fireplace and some original flooring. The outside of the property is of part tile-hung elevations under a handmade clay tile roof.
Screech Cottage is entered via a driveway to the south of the property, leading around to the rear where the parking area and garage can be found. The remainder of the gardens immediately surrounding the house feature some beautiful sun terraces which lead directly off the rear of the house and the modern kitchen/breakfast room, while the remainder of the land is mainly laid to lawn and bounded by stock-proof fencing, allowing excellent views over the surrounding West Sussex countryside.
Of particular note, is the beautiful old barn immediately to the north of the kitchen extension. This building is currently used for storage but gives the incoming purchaser a wonderful opportunity to put their own stamp on the property by reconfiguring this to either form additional living or bedroom space or indeed a games room, subject to the usual consents.
