Attractive and very well-presented 3/4 bedroom semi-detached late Victorian cottage in a lovely rural setting with far-reaching views.
Argyll Cottage is situated in a country lane on the outskirts of the village of Bolney, benefiting from a lovely rural setting and panoramic far-reaching views, without being isolated. Dating from 1901, during our client's 20-year ownership this attractive semi-detached late Victorian cottage has been the subject of sympathetic extension and comprehensive refurbishment, resulting in a beautifully presented home, successfully combining period charm with modern comfort. Points of note include engineered oak or marble tiled flooring through much of the house, stylish period-style bathroom suites, elegant sash windows, a number with fitted plantation shutters, and an updated heating system with an air source heat pump firing underfloor heating and hot water supply; the house has good ceiling heights and is decorated in a stylish neutral colour palette with bursts of colour adding warmth and interest.
The front door, with its colourful stained glass panel, opens from under a porch canopy to the entrance hall, from which stairs rise to the first floor. The cosy sitting room features an open fireplace and has part-glazed bi-fold doors opening to the vaulted garden room, a light and bright versatile room with doors opening to the garden and an adjoining shower and utility room. The garden room, together with the adjoining shower room, have good potential to be used as a spacious bedroom suite.
The dual-aspect kitchen and dining room has sliding doors opening to the terrace, a fireplace set with a Morso woodburner, and space for a table and/or sofa. The kitchen is fitted with a range of cream modern shaker-style units with granite effect worktops, a ceramic sink and drainer and an electric Rangemaster oven.
Lying off the elegant first floor landing are two generous dual-aspect bedrooms, both with pretty cast iron feature fireplaces. The bedrooms are served by a family bathroom which is fitted with a modern classic-style white suite including a freestanding roll-top bath. Stairs rise to the second floor which comprises a large and versatile third bedroom or studio, with some wonderful far-reaching views and access to a fully boarded roof storage space.
Outside
Argyll Cottage is approached via a gravel driveway which offers parking for up to four cars; a paved pathway leads to the front door and there is gated access to the garden.
The garden lies mainly to the south of the house and is mainly laid to lawn, with a mature silver birch and two young apple trees. A paved terrace adjoins the house, offering space for an outside table and chairs, and from where the views over adjoining farmland to Chanctonbury Ring on the horizon can be best enjoyed.
