Woodmancote, West Sussex

Treagust & Co is pleased to offer for sale this charming semi-detached character cottage, set on a generous 0.42 acre plot with delightful panoramic countryside views. This charming home is perfectly positioned for those seeking a rural setting, with numerous scenic walks nearby, while still being within easy reach of both Southbourne and Westbourne villages, each just four minutes by car.

This appealing cottage has been tastefully improved by the current owners, now offering a beautifully presented interior with a 1042 sq. ft. layout, including two double bedrooms and two reception rooms, while still having potential for further extension (STPP).

The front door opens into the garden room, which features full height windows offering year round enjoyment of the garden views. A further door leads into the entrance hall, with staircase to the first floor and storage cupboard beneath. There are two reception rooms: a front facing sitting room with log burning stove, oak flooring, and a large window overlooking the mature front garden and open fields beyond, and a dining room, also fitted with oak flooring, located next to the kitchen. The dual aspect kitchen overlooks the rear garden and features a vaulted ceiling, range of shaker style units, and oak work surfaces. The kitchen is equipped with built-in appliances, including a full height fridge, washing machine, double oven, gas hob, and dishwasher. Completing the ground floor accommodation is the family bathroom, fitted with a white suite that includes a shower over the bath and built-in storage units.

On the first floor, there are two double bedrooms, both enjoying an elevated rural outlook. The principal bedroom includes an adjoining dressing room with large built-in wardrobes and a WC.

Outside
A mature hedge forms the front boundary, with a five bar gate opening onto the long driveway that provides off-road parking space for several cars. This leads to the detached garage (in need of repair or replacement).

Extensive mature gardens surround the home, extending to 0.42 acres, predominantly laid to lawn with hedge boundaries and numerous fruit trees, including apple, pear, and plum varieties. There are many areas of interest throughout the plot, including space to grow vegetables. Outbuildings include three garden sheds and a greenhouse.

The Area
The property is situated on the outskirts of the hamlet of Woodmancote, just to the north of the village of Southbourne which offers a good range of local amenities including convenience stores, railway station with links to Chichester and London, churches, and doctors surgery. Primary and secondary schools are also close by. Further afield Emsworth has specialist shops as well as its quay fronting the head of Chichester harbour where many harbourside walks can be enjoyed. The cathedral city of Chichester is situated approximately 6 miles to the east with its more comprehensive shopping facilities and an excellent variety of bars and restaurants.
