£1,100,000

Marcus Grimes & Co are delighted to be able to bring to the market this beautiful Reginald Fairfax Wells designed and built thatched cottage with separate two bedroom adjacent bungalow, in a good sized plot of secluded and lovely gardens. Built between the wars, this property is one of several in West Chiltington sharing this eponymous trademark style of the maverick 1920's developer, who created over 200 houses across Sussex and Kent, all of which share the Art Deco style of a quintessential English country cottage. Modernised and adapted over the decades that followed this particular property offers a separate 2 bedroom timber framed annexe, (it has a Lawful Development Certificate permission for use as a separate dwelling which adds hugely to its versatility and potential) adjacent to the main house, thereby creating an opportunity for two families to live together or for use as a form of property investment. Situated in a quiet part of this highly desirable village, the cottage is approached through double gates, across a gravelled drive. A detached double garage overlooks this large driveway, which provides parking and turning for multiple cars. The main dwelling is accessed via the porch into a sizeable living room with decorative fireplace and views across the front and rear gardens. Open to this is the dining room and fitted kitchen a ground floor shower room, office/third bedroom and useful utility room. At first floor there are two bedrooms and a dressing room. The separate dwelling is known as Garden Cottage. This former apple store is constructed in a timber frame and converted into a spacious separate two bedroom single storey home with its own area of garden and ample parking to the front. It has a Lawful Development Certificate permission for use as a separate dwelling which adds hugely to its versatility and potential. Both properties have independent gas fired central heating and mains drainage. Outside the gardens lie to the front and rear, enclosed by high mature hedging. Comprising neat areas of lawn specimen shrubs, mature trees and hedging, there is a wide gravel terrace and a landscaped raised decking area. A detached double garage stands to the right hand side of the driveway.
