Church Lane, Twineham

DESCRIPTION This is a beautiful extended cottage and one that we have instantly fallen in love with. For a buyer that is searching for that quiet retreat, tucked away on a country lane, this home could be perfect. The kerb appeal is instant; a gravel drive provides ample off road parking for at least four cars and a pretty front garden, set behind a five bar wooden gate. Internally the accommodation is spacious and focuses on key features. Firstly, the double aspect kitchen diner measures an impressive 22 feet in length and is understandably the hub of the home. The triple aspect provides ample sunlight, with windows overlooking the front and rear gardens and access to the side of the cottage. There is plenty of preparation space on the wooden work tops and storage to match along with space for appliances, with an eight seater table in the middle of the room. The lean to at the side of the cottage is a great storage area with the benefit of power and could accommodate additional appliances. It also provides access to the front and rear gardens. Overlooking the rear garden is the south facing sitting room which takes you out to the conservatory and then the decked terrace. The sitting room features a wood burner which is perfect for the winter months. Elsewhere on the ground floor there is a second reception room which could easily be used as a fourth bedroom or a playroom and there is a shower room off the entrance hall. The ceiling height on both the ground and first floor ensures that the cottage doesn’t feel small or cramped, and the different styles of wood flooring adds to the character.

The first floor layout provides three double bedrooms and a bathroom. The elevated view to the south takes you over the cricket pitch and out towards the South Downs National Park, a priceless view in our opinion. Bedroom one has a double aspect overlooking the front and the rear, with bedroom two also overlooking the rear and bedroom three overlooking the front. Additionally, the first floor provides a study area and a view. Lastly, the bathroom includes a gorgeous free standing rolled edge bath, WC and handbasin.

The south facing garden is a real feature of the cottage and has been lovingly cared for. The decked terrace parallel to the conservatory, sitting room and kitchen/diner is the perfect spot for a table and a chairs and to take advantage of the sunny aspect. The built up fire pit is a nice touch for those late evenings. There are plenty of vegetable and lawn areas, along with a 13 x 11 summerhouse, fitted with power and lighting. A wooden gate between the hedges at the rear takes you out onto the cricket pitch, something which is seldom found these days.
