Thatched Cottage, Lockgate Road, Chichester, PO20 7QE

A stunning 17th Century Grade II Listed English thatched country cottage occupying a private and secluded south west aspect plot some 4 miles to the south of Chichester in Sidlesham Common.

The cottage has immense character with two inglenook fireplaces and has exposed beams and joinery, the majority of which provide good head height.

The sitting room, double bedroom and en-suite form part of a later extension, with a stable-door leading straight to the south/west aspect cottage garden.

The Cottage has a range of outbuildings including a summer house/annex, double garage and office/studio space which a perspective purchaser may wish to repurpose.

The cottage benefits from a newly re-thatched ridge and has been maintained by the same thatching family for 35 years.

The garden is a particularly desirable feature with the plot stretching to 0.28 acres, surrounded by private farmland views to the south and west.
