Property DESCRIPTIONThis 1852 cottage is situated next to the Mill Pond in the charming village of West Ashling, within the South Downs National Park and only a ten-minute drive north of Chichester. The front of the house borders Mill Pond Lane, with access provided through both the kitchen and the sitting room, while to the rear there is a generous parking area for two cars leading through a well-stocked patio garden into a newly constructed conservatory which provides the main entrance to the home.

Over the past three years the current owner has completely renovated and refurbished the property throughout to an exceptional standard.The conservatory opens into the snug, a welcoming room featuring a log burner and flowing naturally into the bespoke kitchen designed with Kuchen Haus of Chichester. The kitchen is both stylish and practical, with a counter housing an induction hob and inbuilt extractor, a large oven complemented by a smaller oven that also functions as a grill and microwave, and integrated appliances including a fridge/freezer and dishwasher. An excellent range of cabinets and drawers offers ample storage, including a sliding spice rack and built-in lighting. From the kitchen a utility room provides additional cabinet space, a washing machine and a second sliding unit, while next door a cloakroom adds further convenience. Also on the ground floor is the dining room, which can serve equally well as a third bedroom, complete with its own door to the conservatory and a window overlooking the patio. The sitting room is a generously sized and airy space located off the snug, with the benefit of a second log burner, two sets of windows, and a door leading directly onto Mill Pond Lane. Either side of the brick fireplace are recessed alcoves fitted with inset lighting, creating attractive display showcases. Upstairs the cottage boasts an exceptionally large principal bedroom, equal in size to the sitting room, with dual aspect windows overlooking both the rear and the front, where open pasture and grazing horses provide a charming view. This room includes two bespoke Sharp wardrobes, an airing cupboard, and an en suite bathroom with shower, WC and washbasin set within a cabinet. The second bedroom overlooks the patio and features wall-to-wall Sharp wardrobes along with a built-in dressing table area that can also be used as a computer hub. Completing the first floor is a bright and spacious family bathroom containing a bath, WC, washbasin with cabinet and heated towel rail.

The programme of refurbishment has been extensive, including new radiators, blinds, exterior doors and oak interior doors, as well as new kitchen and utility appliances and new bathroom fittings throughout. All floors have been renewed, with quality tiling to the kitchen, utility, conservatory and en suite, and top-grade carpets to all remaining rooms. All works and installations are supported by fensa certification and guarantees. Externally the garage has been fitted with a new remote-controlled up-and-over shutter, while at the front of the house a screened bin area and log store have also been added. Presented in immaculate condition, this recently renovated home is ready for immediate occupation and combines the charm of a period cottage with the comfort and quality of a modern refurbishment.
