This is a superb Victorian cottage, being offered in excellent condition. Deer can often be seen in the surrounding fields, and the views of the South Downs from the property are simply wonderful. There are various footpaths surrounding the property and much opportunity to enjoy the surrounding landscape. The accommodation is bright and spacious, arranged over two floors and has been much improved by the current owners.
Entering the property, there is a large, bright spacious hallway, well suited to kicking off muddy boots from the various walking opportunities in West Harting. On the ground floor, there is a large sitting room with a wood-burning stove, as well as a superb, extended kitchen/dining/family area with tiled flooring and an aga. This room is bright and spacious, with a walk in pantry, as well as a skylight and French doors to a large, wrap-around garden.
A good size cellar which may be purposed as a fantastic wine-store.
Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms, with an en-suite shower room with superb views of the South Downs. A well-appointed family bathroom services bedroom two & three.
Outside, there is a delightful wrap-around cottage garden with mature trees and borders and a brick built garden shed, as well as a patio area. Two garages in block. The current owners have installed a new oil tank in 2024, as well as a new oil boiler in 2020. The property has been very well maintained and improved by the current owners. We anticipate the property selling very well, so an early viewing is encouraged.
West Harting is a hamlet that nestles at the foot of the Downs, in the heart of the South Downs National Park between Petersfield and Midhurst, only a mile from the larger village of South Harting which has a pub, school, shop and post office and many clubs and societies. Petersfield and its comprehensive range of facilities including Waitrose and a mainline station with train services to London Waterloo in around an hour is 4.5 miles away and is particularly blessed with an excellent range of schools including Bedales and Churchers College. The other popular local school, Ditcham Park, is just 4.5 miles from the house, and Harting Primary School is in the village. The A3 provides good regional transport links to the M25 and beyond and the larger centres of Winchester, Guildford and Chichester are all within reasonable driving distance, as are the harbours and creeks of the South Coast. There are a good number of footpaths and bridleways in the surrounding area including The South Downs Way and The Sussex Border Path.
