Believed to date to the C17, Iron Latch Cottage has a quintessential cottage charm and appeal, with elevations of white painted stonework to the frontage and brick and exposed stone to the rear façade under a two roofed thatch covering, entirely re-thatched in 2021.
Classic period characteristics include an inglenook fireplace and exposed rustic beams and posts, with the cottage accommodation enhanced to provide a comfortable and versatile family home perfectly suited to present day lifestyles. On the ground floor the reception area and sitting room are loosely partitioned by a timber framed aperture creating two relaxed settings for downtime. The opposite side of the reception hall provides access into the kitchen/dining room which offers a convivial space to cook and dine with French doors opening to the rear garden. With contemporary wooden cabinetry topped by black granite surfaces, the kitchen features a Belfast sink and breakfast bar units which form a subtle division to the dining area. Two separate stairways rise to the first floor rooms with two bedrooms on the level above the reception room and one above the kitchen dining area. The principal bedroom benefits from an en suite bathroom. An additional study/dayroom, with French windows opening to the garden, occupies a tucked away setting on the ground floor and has access to an adjoining shower room.
A low-level stone wall fronts the roadway, with a white picket-gate offering pedestrian passage to the entrance doorway, whilst blue-painted timber electric double gates to the side provide vehicular access onto a paved driveway leading to the car port. With verdant greenery and lush architectural planting, the delightful cottage garden offers a secluded outdoor sanctuary, with features including a timber pergola over a brick walkway which is covered with rambling shrubs. Paved terracing adjoins the property offering opportunities for al fresco dining and relaxation whilst enjoying the sunny, south-easterly aspect.
The cottage is situated on the northern side of the charming seaside town of Selsey. Every day amenities are provided in the town, with a more comprehensive range of shopping, cultural and leisure facilities available in Chichester to the north. The city also offers a mainline railway station with services to London Victoria via Gatwick (approximately 90 minutes) and the A27 provides access to Brighton, to the east, and Portsmouth and Southampton to the west. Primary and secondary schooling is available in Selsey, with independent schools in the vicinity including Westbourne House, The Prebendal School and Portsmouth Grammar School.
