House For Sale £699,500
A well presented thatched cottage tucked away from traffic and with beautifully preserved character features. Believed to date from the mid Stuart period, the house is surprisingly practical with good beam and ceiling heights and magnificent inglenook fireplace with wood burner and bread oven in the sitting room, and a number of double glazed windows installed with listed building consent.
Other benefits and improvements carried out recently include redressing the thatch with water reed and replacing the ridge, a lovely conservatory extension overlooking the English country garden and a bespoke South Downs Garden Rooms cedar clad studio in the garden with heating and a cloakroom, ideal for a variety of year round uses including an occasional bedroom or office/workspace. The studio has a high speed internet port connected to the house.
There is a delightful east/west facing garden and there are two single garages in a compound close by.
Internally, the kitchen was upgraded and replaced in 2018 and features a combination of granite and Corian worktops. There are three bedrooms on the first floor providing good and comfortable accommodation.
The Thatched Cottage is situated on River Street, tucked away behind adjacent houses and therefore virtually invisible from the street. The village offers a good selection of local shops together with a parish church, village school and a number of local pubs. More comprehensive shopping facilities are available at the large provincial centres of Chichester, Emsworth and Havant, with regular rail services from Havant to London Waterloo in about 1 hour 20 minutes, and Chichester to London Victoria in about 1 hour 40 minutes. The surrounding countryside offers a wide range of sporting and recreational facilities including walking and riding on the nearby South Downs, now a national park, and some of the best sailing facilities within convenient distance of London. There are a number of sailing clubs to choose from, most notably at Emsworth, Bosham, Itchenor and Hayling Island.
