Property description
Heatherland is a beautifully presented and extended ‘Wells’ cottage, built in 1931 by local artist and architect Reginald Fairfax Wells, with well-maintained surrounding gardens of approximately 0.5 acres and within walking distance of nearby walks across the countryside.
The generous accommodation provides a good balance of living space. An oak door leads into an entrance porch with quarry tiled floor and a further oak door leads to the entrance hall with doors leading into a spacious dual aspect living room with patio doors onto the front terrace and inglenook fireplace with a log burner. Double oak doors lead through to the bespoke oak framed garden room with double glazed windows and a vaulted ceiling. The dining room is spacious with ample room for a large dining table and has a brick built fireplace and log burner. An inner hallway has an oak staircase with under stairs cupboard and leads through to the open plan kitchen and dining room. The kitchen area has a range of bespoke ‘cottage style’ base cupboards and built-in shelving complimented with solid oak work surfaces and terracotta tiled floor. There is also a ‘Leisure Range’ cooker and bespoke peninsula unit with built-in cupboards and drawers under, solid oak work surface and inset ceramic prep sink. The dining area features oak flooring, a vaulted ceiling with uplighters and solid oak french doors leading out onto the garden. The rear lobby gives access to a utility room, separate WC, storage cupboard and the dual aspect cinema room with patio doors onto the rear garden and a raised seating area. A large dual aspect bedroom with an en-suite shower room completes the ground floor accommodation.
To the first floor, the galleried landing has a stripped wooden floor and a built-in cupboard housing the electrics and doors leading onto three bedrooms, the main having its own en-suite WC and the second benefiting from an en-suite shower room. There is also a main family bathroom will roll top bath and walk-in ‘wet room’ style shower enclosure.
The gardens are a particular feature of the property and have been landscaped with a ‘cottage garden’ style feel to them. To the rear of the property the gardens are mainly laid to lawn bordered with a variety of mature shrubs and trees providing a good degree of privacy. There is a greenhouse and vegetable patch area which is partially screened and located to the rear of the garden. A wonderful patio area leads to a heated swimming pool with wooden pool house/changing room. There is side access to the property through to the front garden which has an area of lawn bordered with a range of plants and shrubs providing an abundance of colour all year round. The gravelled driveway is accessed from the lane via a 5-bar wooden gate and leads to a parking area for several vehicles and tandem garage. Above the front half of the garage, there is a gravelled terrace on which to enjoy the sun and distant obscured views towards the South Downs. A secret garden area is located to the front of the property with a wall to one side providing a lawned garden with a pond and water feature.
