Situation

Amberley is one of the most picturesque of West Sussex villages, nestling in the cleft of the South Downs away from main traffic routes and is the haunt of artists and country lovers alike. Abounding in architectural and historic buildings, including Amberley Castle and quaint old stone, flint and thatched cottages, Amberley is well sought after having a friendly village atmosphere. There is a village shop and post office, Church of England Primary School and two pubs as well as the ancient Norman and early English Church of St. Michael's. The mainline station is about a mile from the outskirts of the village with a commuter service to Gatwick airport, London Victoria and London Bridge. Arundel is approximately six miles away and the coast and cities of Chichester and Brighton are within easy driving distance.. The village is served by local deliveries and more comprehensive shopping facilities are available at Storrington including a Waitrose store and a Costa. At Pulborough there is also a mainline station and shopping facilities with Sainsbury¿s and Tesco stores and a Primary Health Care Centre.

Description

Rarely available, this stunning Grade II listed detached period property is coming to the market for the first time in nearly 30 years. Believed to date back to circa 1600, this glorious character filled cottage is steeped in local history, and set in the midst of the beautiful downland village of Amberley.
Nestled in the very heart of Amberley, this charming bohemian style cottage is mentioned in the Sussex edition of Pevsners Buildings of England, which describes its brick and timber framed construction as being of architectural merit. The property itself is equally full of charm and character internally being entered via steps that lead up to the front door opening into the entrance hall. Turning to your left you are greeted with a good sized sitting room with a wonderful brick fireplace with woodburning stove, exposed timbers and beams and solid oak boarded wood floor. The further reception room would make a pleasant dining room or a cosy snug, packed with character features including a beautiful brick built fireplace and wood burning stove. To the other end of the property there is a kitchen with wonderful brick flooring and exposed beams, butler sink and Aga. To the rear of the kitchen there is access into a useful utility room with plenty of storage space and plumbing for washing machine.
From the rear lobby stairs lead up to the first floor landing with principal bedroom, once again packed with character features, and a dressing area which leads through to an ensuite bathroom. There is a further double bedroom which completes the first floor accommodation.

Outside

Set among a host of similar character properties within a village of charming interlinked lanes and footpaths, as well as views of the South Downs and surrounding countryside, nearby church and Amberley Castle, cricket green, village shop and pub, the property is only half the story. The fabulous south facing rear garden is like a scene from a `Monet¿ painting, a true gardener's delight.
On entering the rear garden there is a shaded level lawn area ideal for whiling away those long summer afternoons, leading through to a long meandering path flanked by generously stocked flower beds encouraging a wealth of wildlife and interspersed with secluded and well screened seating areas and outbuildings of various uses. Towards the rear of the garden there is a fabulous mature pond with raised seating area to enjoy the natural beauty of the pond and array of surrounding plants and flowers.
To the very end of the garden there is a beautiful summer house with an outside seating space where you can lose yourself from the world and enjoy all the rural delights that West Sussex has to offer.
