Property Description

The property This stunning and unique Grade II listed period cottage would appeal to anyone wishing to live in an historical property with all the benefits of contemporary style living.

Situated in a pretty residential square in a conservation area this house is within easy walking distance of the riverfront and Littlehampton's long sandy beaches, the mainline train station and comprehensive shopping/leisure facilities.

This beautiful home has been sympathetically restored whilst retaining a wealth of original architectural features, including original sash windows and doors, fireplaces, exposed flint and brickwork.

On entering the property there is a large welcoming entrance hall with stairs leading to the first floor and to the lower ground floor.

Two rooms lead off the entrance hall, the formal sitting room which looks out onto the pretty front walled garden, and double bedroom (which is currently used as a study) with views of the rear garden. The floors throughout this level have been refurbished with solid French oak.

Completing this level is the rear lobby with access to the rear garden and ground floor shower room and adjoining utility room. This area is tiled throughout with slate.

The lower ground floor consists of a hall with doors through to a large dining room with a window to the front aspect and large central log burner. The modern kitchen is well appointed and open to the dining room and benefits from access to the rear garden. The kitchen and dining room floors are tiled with limestone and benefit from underfloor heating.

Occupying the first floor are two double bedrooms and a very attractive family bathroom with cast iron claw foot bath and double basin. Of particular note is the master bedroom, which is extremely spacious and benefits from attractive views to the front.

The attractive rear garden is surrounded with a traditional flint wall, and it has a good-sized patio area, well-kept lawns and borders planted with a variety of roses, jasmine, honeysuckle and lavender. There is a substantial flint-construction outbuilding, currently used for garden storage.

The front garden is enclosed by a low flint wall and wrought iron railings, and is planted with roses and a weeping cherry tree.

Location The property is in River Road, within a minute's walk of Littlehampton town centre and the mainline railway station with direct access to London Victoria. Littlehampton Harbour, across the square, provides access and mooring for yachts and pleasure craft.
Littlehampton lies within sight of the South Downs, between Chichester and Brighton and has become a popular location for second homeowners commuting from London.
There is a wide choice of sporting and recreational activities in the surrounding area including horse racing at both Goodwood and Fontwell park; Car Racing at Goodwood Motor Circuit famously hosting its annual Festival of Speed and Revival meetings; polo at Cowdray park; glorious beaches at the Witterings; dinghy sailing from numerous clubs along the coast with substantial harbours and marinas at Chichester and Littlehampton for mooring larger yachts; numerous golf courses; walking and riding in the rich surrounding countryside.
Littlehampton is an ideal location for anyone interested in a weekend or summer retreat.
