This is a rare and unique opportunity to renovate an early 17th Century cottage, retaining original features, including inglenook fireplace, original wood floors, and exposed beams. It comes with a substantial plot, extending over 1/3 an acre, with stunning views from an elevated semi-rural location.
This property offers huge potential to greatly enhance the property and land, and complete the restoration. Some building works have taken place, including land drainage, roof repairs, and various maintenance and prep works. Planning permission has been granted, including to convert the coal store to an office/3rd bedroom, add a downstairs W.C. and a large patio.
Situated in the historic village of Cocking, between Chichester and Petworth, in the heart of the South Downs, it benefits from excellent road links to the coast and surrounding areas via the nearby A272 and A27.
