Full description
An immaculately presented five-bedroom, two-bathroom, detached Grade II listed character home situated between Haslemere and Petworth in the stunning South Downs National Park.
The property has been the subject of much improvement by the current owners and blends character features, such as exposed wall and ceiling timbers and leaded light windows and fireplaces, with the modern appeal of refitted kitchen and bathrooms. The cottage offers expansive and flexible family accommodation and was historically believed to have previously been a pair of cottages, hence the layout could easily lend itself to multi-generational living.
The large, well appointed, kitchen runs along the back of the cottage with doors and windows onto the garden. At one end of the kitchen is a useful utility room and downstairs cloakroom. To the front of the property are the reception rooms, comprising of a sitting room with inglenook fireplace, dining room with open fire, a study/snug and a family room. Off the family room is a fifth bedroom and a bathroom featuring both a bath and separate shower.
The first floor (served by two separate staircases) comprises of four good size bedrooms, a bathroom, and a large walk-in wardrobe to the principal bedroom.
Elmtree Cottage sits in a plot of approximately one acre with open farmland to the side and rear. A gravel driveway provides ample parking for several vehicles and features an open oak barn style garage with power and light with an adjoining home office. The glorious gardens are a standout feature of the property, arranged across three distinct areas, with the formal garden adjoining the house where there is an expansive terrace providing the ideal spot for relaxation, and a generous level lawn flanked by well stocked flower and shrub borders. From the lawn the working part of the garden, follows with greenhouse, raised vegetable beds, fruit cages, composting beds, space for a chicken run as well as ample shed space. At the end of the garden is a magical wooded area where a path weaves between mature trees and seasonal daffodils, bluebells, and wildflowers, leading to a gate opening onto farmland. From here you can connect with a network of footpaths providing miles of walking in the beautiful surrounding countryside.
