About this property

  • The Old School House, previously a Victorian school, occupies a stunning rural position on the edge of the picturesque heathland of Lords Piece, within the South Downs National Park. The property is approached via a rhododendron lined driveway and is nestled in a plot of approximately one acre. It is a haven of tranquillity, offering a mixture of lawns, woodland and gravelled parking. From the gardens there is direct access on to Lords Piece, perfect for dog walking and other leisure pursuits.

    The property can be accessed either via the utility room or large lobby, previously used as a study. The ground floor also offers a kitchen with high ceilings, bathroom and two reception rooms with storage cupboards. On the first floor there are two bright double bedrooms, both with storage cupboards.

    The outbuildings consist of two garages and a car port. The property currently benefits from planning permission for a replacement car port with adjoining garage and a first-floor workshop. The full plans are available to view on Chichester.gov.uk website reference SDNP/22/02829/HOUS.

This is a cottage that exudes character and the glorious acre gardens make it a truly special setting. I love the fact I can walk from my gate on to Lords Piece, a local nature reserve perfect for walking and exploring.
