Filkins is an impressive Grade II listed cottage steeped in history, dating back to the 19th century with brick and flint elevations. Perfectly situated for access to Goodwood and the cathedral city of Chichester on the periphery of open countryside in the South Downs National Park, this pretty cottage is one not to be missed.
The home has been sympathetically and lovingly restored with contemporary fitments whilst exuding charm and character. Upon entering, one immediately appreciates the beautiful solid doors which feature throughout the property. Very few homes boast such versatile accommodation, on the ground floor the sitting room has a wood-burning stove, making it a perfect place to relax in the evening. From here a stable door allows access to a contemporary kitchen that has been carefully designed with plenty of work surfaces and complete with a breakfast island. A superb timber and flint conservatory is accessible from the kitchen creating a designated space for dining and entertaining whilst double doors give access to the secluded south-facing garden. From the inner hall and boot room, there is a ground-floor bedroom with exposed flint and brick walls and a vaulted ceiling to a mezzanine study above. This area could be adapted to make a self-contained annex, which could be ideal for a dependent relative or home office? A beautifully appointed bathroom completes the ground floor accommodation.
The charm and character continue to the first floor where all three bedrooms are not compromised and have access to a newly installed shower room. The principal bedroom has a double aspect to the front and a built-in wardrobe. The remaining two bedrooms both have stunning views over the garden and adjoining field over the Downs and beyond.
The property is accessed through a drive-through carport with lockable double doors. There is ample parking for several vehicles in the form of a gravel drive and detached double garage complete with power and light which has recently been granted planning permission to convert into a habitable room.
The property is graced with a mature, secluded south-facing garden with established trees and hedges backing onto adjoining fields with a ‘protected view’ of the Downs to the north. There is an extensive patio perfect for summer entertaining and a well-manicured lawn as well as a useful shed.
