About this property

A charming detached period home dating from Georgian times, formed from the amalgamation of two former estate cottages and set on the edge of a popular West Sussex village. Rich in original character features and benefitting from generous cottage‑style gardens extending to open countryside.

This delightful detached character home dates from Georgian times and originally formed part of the nearby Stansted Park Estate. Believed to have once been two separate cottages, the property has been sympathetically combined and improved to create a comfortable and individual family home while retaining a wealth of original features, including beamed ceilings, interior flint walls and an original well.
The ground floor accommodation is warmed by gas central heating and comprises an entrance hall leading to a comfortable family living room and a separate dining room, both enjoying period character and garden views. The fitted kitchen provides practical working space, while a combined shower/utility room adds everyday convenience. A conservatory to the rear offers a pleasant space to enjoy views across the garden throughout the year.
To the first floor, there are four bedrooms arranged around a study area, together with a family bathroom and an additional cloakroom, providing flexible accommodation suitable for family living, home working or visiting guests.

Outside
The property is approached via a lane to the front, where there is a parking space and car port/garage. A flint wall encloses an attractive rose garden, providing a charming introduction to the house.
The delightful rear garden extends to approximately 180 feet and is arranged as a series of ‘garden rooms’, planted in a mature cottage style. Features include ponds, useful outbuildings, a summerhouse currently used as a home office, and a terrace adjacent to the house for outdoor dining. At the far end of the garden is a further decking area and terrace, enjoying uninterrupted views over open fields and countryside beyond.

Situation
Westbourne is a popular West Sussex Downland village offering a good range of amenities including a post office, bakery, pharmacy, pubs, restaurants, local shops, garage and a primary school.
The village is well placed for access to the South Downs National Park, the Stansted Estate, Chichester Harbour at nearby Emsworth, and the cathedral city of Chichester. Mainline rail services to London are available from Havant and Rowlands Castle, with road links to London and Brighton also close at hand.
