A charming Grade II listed cottage with beautiful gardens in a historic village setting.
Situated in the picturesque and peaceful village of Bignor, Corner Cottage is a truly enchanting Grade II listed property, steeped in history and full of character. Perfectly positioned beside the 11th-century village church, the cottage enjoys an idyllic setting with views over beautifully tended gardens and the surrounding countryside.
Believed to date back to the 16th century, the main house retains a wealth of original features, from exposed beams and inglenook fireplaces to stone floors and leaded windows. At the heart of the home is a welcoming kitchen, complete with an AGA and delightful views across the garden. This is adjacent to a warm and inviting dining area with a large open fireplace. A good-sized utility room and a cloakroom sit just off the kitchen, with additional access to the garden.
The spacious sitting room is full of period charm, centred around a wood-burning stove, and leads into a bright and versatile study, ideal as a home office or cosy reading snug.
Upstairs, the dual aspect principal bedroom benefits from built-in storage. Two further bedrooms also offer garden views and storage, while the family bathroom features both a bath and separate shower, along with lovely views over the rear garden.
To the rear of the property, just beyond the gravelled parking area with space for several vehicles, is a beautifully converted barn. This fantastic additional accommodation includes a vaulted sitting room with a striking fireplace, a kitchen, bathroom, cloakroom, and two bedrooms. Whether used as a guest house, annexe for family, or a creative studio, this flexible space is a superb asset.
The gardens are a true highlight, approximately 1.2 acres of lovingly maintained and thoughtfully planted grounds, they include vibrant borders, mature trees (including a magnificent ancient yew), and a variety of peaceful spots to relax. Several outbuildings, including a charming summer house, greenhouse, shed, and log store, further enhance the appeal of this unique home.
Corner Cottage is a rare opportunity to own a character-filled home in one of Sussex's most beautiful and historic villages.

This characterful home is truly beautiful, with its stunning 1.2 acre garden creating a peaceful haven in the village of Bignor. I especially love the versatility the two bedroom annexe has to offer.
