A delightful detached cottage with generous gardens extending to 0.762 acres and excellent outbuildings. Offering three bedrooms and a ground floor study or fourth bedroom, double oak-frame car garage, garden pavilion and a brick outhouse with cellar and workshop, the property balances period charm with modern comforts. Set in a peaceful country lane, yet just a mile from Cowfold village.

This charming detached cottage forms part of the former Clockhouse estate and is set in a peaceful country lane on the north-western edge of Cowfold. With its good proportions, characterful interior, rural outlook and extensive gardens, it offers an excellent balance of charm and practicality.

The accommodation includes three well-proportioned bedrooms, two bathrooms, one of which is en-suite to the principal bedroom which also features a dressing area. Beyond the handy porch is a good-size entrance hallway with the contemporary kitchen off to the front left hand side, with a utility beyond and study area beyond. To the right are several reception spaces, including the sitting room with its characterful circular fireplace, large family dining room conservatory, giving the space a good flow and offering different areas for entertaining and for the family to spread out. The current owners have upgraded the house with full leaded-light double glazing and a recently replaced boiler.
