Une Propriété De Caractère Avec Des écuries Et Un Vaste Terrain, Avec Permis De Pâturage Sur Les Terres Adjacentes

A delightful period cottage with a wealth of charming original details, as well as outbuildings including stables. Set on a generous plot with country gardens and grazing licence on adjoining paddocks for equestrian activities, in a well-connected rural position between the sought-after villages of Southwater and Billingshurst, and less than six miles from popular Horsham.

Green Bough Cottage is a charming period property that features rendered and tiled elevations outside, while inside there are exposed timber beams, brick-built fireplaces, original floors and other period details, all combining to create a delightful and unique home.
The reception hall features terracotta-tiled flooring and timber beams on both the walls and the vaulted ceiling. A door to the side leads to the main reception area — the split-level sitting room. The lower seating area has wooden parquet flooring and a grand brick-built fireplace fitted with a woodburning stove. Adjoining the sitting room is a sunny conservatory with French doors opening onto the rear garden. The ground floor also includes a study for home working and a formal dining room with flagstone flooring and a brick-built fireplace. To the front, the well-equipped kitchen features farmhouse-style units and a range cooker.
Upstairs there are three bedrooms, including a generous principal bedroom with built-in storage and a vaulted ceiling. The second bedroom is also a double, while the third is a single, making it ideal for use as a nursery or a dressing room. The first floor also has a family bathroom with an over-bath shower.

Outside
At the entrance to the property there is a concrete courtyard with plenty of parking space and access to the detached double garage. A five-bar wooden gate opens to the central courtyard area and leads to the detached stable block, which has four stables, while there is also a separate tack room. A further gate leads from the courtyard to the paddocks, which are currently let from the Knepp Estate on a grazing licence and extend to 3.5 acres. The garden at the rear of the house features a south-facing patio for al fresco dining, with two separate areas of lawn beyond and borders of established hedgerows. There are also two peaceful ponds, a brick-constructed well and various mature trees, as well as vegetable garden with a shed or summer house. In all the grounds extend to 0.4 acre.
