Freshfield Lane, Danehill, West Sussex, RH17

Downsview Cottage was originally two farm cottages on the Birch Grove estate and was renovated by the current owners back in the 1970s. This well loved family home is now coming to the market for the first time in 55 years. It offers the potential for considerable remodelling and extending. The property is south facing plot of circa 0.7 of an acre with far reaching views over the beautiful Sussex countryside.

The accommodation comprises a welcoming entrance hall with staircase off it. To one side is a lovely double aspect sitting room with a working open fireplace and opposite is a charming dining room with a faux fireplace too. There is a lovely kitchen with various fitted units and a door leading out to the garden and a downstairs cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs there are four good-sized bedrooms, with the principal bedroom being double aspect with en-suite shower room and a family bathroom.

Outside, Downsview Cottage is approached off the country lane up a wide sweeping driveway with parking for several vehicles and a double garage. The gardens are a delight offering various well stocked herbaceous borders, large mature specimen trees, a south facing stone terrace and lovely views across the countryside.
