Property description
A charming Grade II Listed detached three-bedroom period cottage, Rose Tree Cottage has been beautifully refurbished and enjoys a secluded rural setting along a quiet no-through country lane in the sought-after village of Woolbeding, just a short distance from Midhurst.
Rose Tree Cottage has recently undergone an extensive refurbishment programme, including a new fitted kitchen, stylish new bathrooms and new carpets throughout, whilst carefully retaining its wealth of original character and historic features.
Occupying an enviable position with only a handful of neighbouring properties, the cottage enjoys exceptional views across the surrounding countryside and towards the South Downs National Park.
The accommodation comprises a spacious entrance hall with original brick flooring and access to the south staircase. The dual-aspect sitting room features a wood-burning stove, creating a warm and inviting living space. The dining room, also benefiting from original brick flooring and a second wood-burning stove, provides direct access to the kitchen and north staircase. A separate study offers an ideal space for home working.
The newly fitted kitchen is equipped with a range of wall and base units and provides space for a washing machine, fridge freezer and electric cooker. A pantry adjoining the kitchen retains attractive period features and offers space for a dishwasher. A ground floor bathroom with white suite completes the downstairs accommodation.
The north staircase leads to an impressive newly installed family bathroom featuring a beautiful slipper bath and separate walk-in shower. Adjacent is the principal bedroom with feature fireplace (decorative only) and useful walk-in storage area.
The south staircase serves two further generously proportioned double bedrooms, one of which enjoys stunning south-facing views across the countryside towards the South Downs.
Outside, the property benefits from driveway parking, a substantial detached stone barn providing excellent storage or garaging potential, and a further useful outbuilding. The generous rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn and enjoys spectacular far-reaching rural views.
