1 bed semi-detached house for sale

Old Cottage East, The Street, Bury, West Sussex RH20

Overview

Believed to date back to 1625, this beautiful Grade II Listed thatched cottage is situated in the South Downs hamlet of Bury and would make a wonderful downsize or second home in the Sussex countryside. The current owner has lived here for about ten years and says "Every day that I wake up here, I feel like i'm on holiday."

Set back from the road behind high hedges, the property offers an entrance hallway, with understairs storage and space for boots and coats. The lounge / dining room features a cosy woodburner within an Inglenook fireplace plus electric underfloor heating. The compact kitchen offers plenty of workspace, drawers and cupboards. Upstairs is a stunning bedroom with vaulted ceiling and which opens onto a bathroom with claw foot bath. There are exposed wall and ceiling beams throughout the cottage and two large eaves storage spaces, rare for a cottage of this size and age. Outside, the well tended garden wraps around three sides, with three different patio seating areas allowing you to follow the sunshine ( or the shade ) all day. A timber summerhouse offers useful storage for garden tools and furniture.

Wonderful walks will be found straight from the front gate and there is a pub just down the road. Nearby "Charlie's Farm Shop" sells locally produced food, with further amenities and a mainline railway station available at Pulborough - for access to London and Gatwick - only five miles away. Amberley station is less than two miles drive and also has a station, with direct routes to London and Brighton.
