With an appealing façade of stonework this enticing cottage has seen enhancement projects revealing 2178 sq. ft of well-proportioned and versatile accommodation arranged over three floors. A generous reception hall leads through to a relaxed sitting room which is centred around an open fireplace and has French doors to the garden terrace. The formal dining room extends into the bay window recess and provides the ideal spot to host family and friends, with a door offering a link to the adjoining fully fitted kitchen with a large range stove at its heart. Ancillary space is provided by the adjacent utility area. A further flexible-use reception room currently presents as a snug but would provide an excellent refuge for home-workers. Upstairs, the roomy landing gives access to four bedrooms, including the principal en suite room, and a family bathroom. A second stairway leads to an additional bedroom and a large storage room at the top of the house.

Outside

With timber post-and-rail fencing fronting the lane and majestic trees and mature shrubs providing seclusion, the driveway offers parking and leads to the garaging. The generous mature rear garden enjoys a south-easterly aspect and features paved terracing which spans the back of the house. Steps descend to a large lawn and in the far corner are several trees and mature shrubs which provide dappled shade. To the side, there is a versatile-use timber outbuilding which would make a perfect home office or gym, with a gravelled garden alongside featuring raised geometric beds and beyond that is an outdoor swimming pool with paved surround and large timber pool house/workshop.

Situation

In a picturesque, rural setting within the South Downs National Park, the village of Bepton lies to the south-west of the market town of Midhurst. Rose Cottage is situated within easy reach of the historic town which provides a good mix of independent and high street shopping opportunities, along with cafés and restaurants. Midhurst is also home to The Grange Community & Leisure Centre which offers sports activities, exercise classes, a health suite and a swimming pool, as well as the well-regarded Midhurst Rother College. The town of Guildford to the north and the Cathedral City of Chichester to the south, both with renowned Theatres, are within easy reach and have more extensive shopping and leisure facilities. The A3 provides fast access to London, the motorway network, Gatwick, Heathrow and Southampton airports, whilst there are mainline stations at Liphook and Haslemere for services to London Waterloo. Midhurst and the surrounding area have much to offer with polo and golf at Cowdray Park, horse and motor racing at Goodwood and sailing from Chichester Harbour and other south coast centres.
