Property description
Old Malthouse Cottage is a pretty detached house in one of the area's most sought after Downland villages. The property is believed to be well over 300 years old and is Grade II listed.
Of brick and flint construction and with a catslide roof to the rear, the house has plenty of charm and character and retains many original features. The house does require some improvement throughout.
The ground floor includes two reception rooms and a kitchen in the original part of the house. The family room has a log burner and exposed brick floor and the dining room also has an open fireplace. An extension has been added to the rear of the house creating a further generous reception room with a vaulted ceiling and a log burner set in a large brick and flint fireplace. In addition there is a good size entrance hall, utility room and a WC. The first floor has three bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The rear garden is in two sections with a secluded walled garden directly behind the house. It includes a patio, small area of lawn and a stone bench. The larger part of the garden stretches behind the house and is mostly laid to lawn with perimeter flower beds and a number of mature shrubs and trees. To the side of the house is a drive leading to the single garage.
West Ashling is located within the South Downs National Park and has an excellent pub and restaurant, primary school and a picturesque mill pond. The area is a paradise for wildlife enthusiasts, with beautiful walks and cycle tracks over the South Downs and around Chichester Harbour. Local amenities can be found in nearby Funtington and Bosham.
The cathedral city of Chichester offers excellent high street shopping, many fashionable restaurants, cafes and bars, the Festival Theatre and a mainline station to London Victoria. Goodwood is famous for its many event days including the world renowned Festival of Speed and Goodwood Revival for motor racing enthusiasts and a season of horse racing including Glorious Goodwood.
