Exquisite cottage in favoured downland village.
Rock Cottage is a pretty 16th century Grade II listed character cottage in the heart of the popular village of Sutton. The house is believed to have been divided into two cottages around 150 years ago and then was returned to one house. A family home of great charm, the property has been sensitively refurbished and restored by the current owners. Ground floor accommodation comprises a delightful sitting room with inglenook fireplace and beamed ceiling. A central hallway links this room with a cosy family room with fireplace, which adjoins a study area. The kitchen has a range of bespoke solid wood units and opens out into a conservatory which leads on to the garden. A utility room / boot room provides useful extra storage space.
To the first floor the bedrooms are all open to the eaves with high vaulted ceilings and extensive exposed timbers. The main bedroom has a high vaulted ceiling and direct access to the bathroom. There are 3 further bedrooms and a shower room.
Externally, the gardens are delightful and an example of a quintessential English cottage garden, with mature shrubs and perennials providing year round interest, expanses of lawn and paved areas for al-fresco entertaining. At the rear of the garden is a timber framed studio / home office with storage room to the rear. The driveway provides ample parking to the front and side.

Rock Cottage is a charming home situated in one of my favourite villages. The gardens are a particular highlight, being well screened and beautifully presented.
