Description

WITH LAND ***Guide Price Range: £750,000 - £800,000***No.2 Wychwood Cottages occupies an enviable rural position at the end of a private country lane (shared with neighbouring properties) which terminates at the cottage and its neighbouring property No. 1 Wychwood Cottages (a 4-bed extended house plus land at a guide price range of £950,000-£1m). The cottage and land enjoys wonderful, panoramic views over surrounding countryside across the River Adur valley to a wide breadth of the South Downs National Park and including Chanctonbury Ring in the distance. In addition to the lovely views, a particular feature of the cottage is the adjoining level pasture land which opens up to the South-West of the property. Believed to have been built in the first half of the last century and the cottage includes external elevations of brickwork with tile hanging under a tiled roof and with modern Upvc replacement double glazed windows with leaded lights.

The property benefits from planning consent for extension to the house granted on 16/04/2025 under ref. DC/25/0188 with excerpts of the drawings appended for the erection of a two-storey side extension with porch to create a 4-bedroom 3-bathroom property with detached double carport within the garden. The property was previously run as a successful smallholding known as Wychwood Farm with a mixture of livestock including Rare Breed pigs, Southdown sheep and Dexter cattle.

The property is considered to be equally well suited for those with equestrian interests and with great potential to follow other local properties by adding stabling and equestrian facilities, subject to an individual owner's requirements and any planning consents.

The appended floorplans show the layout to the cottage plus scanned and reduced copies of the approved extension. The current accommodation includes the Conservatory/Garden Room to the West side and linking to the Kitchen with a range of wooden fitted units, electric oven and hob, sink unit. The adjacent South facing Living Room includes a fireplace with wood burning stove and also with good views. Next to the Entrance Hall is a Cloaks/Shower Room. To the first floor a small Landing with linen cupboard leads to double aspect Bedroom One with superb views to the South and also to bedroom two, whilst bedroom three overlooks the land to the North.

To the outside there is a good size Garden with lawns and mixed planting. To the North side of the garden is a small orchard area and a small Paddock area. To the South and South-West of the cottage is the principal area of Land which is stock fenced and divided into different paddock areas. Overall, the property extends to approx. 10.91 acres (4.42 Ha) and as shown on the plan.
