A quaint Grade II Listed period cottage in an accessible roadside location on the fringes of the highly prized village of Slinfold with a near 1.2 acre plot and Planning/Listed Building Consent for an extension.

Lutwicke Corner Cottage is believed to have been built by a former owner of the Manor of Slinfold for his daughter. Having been in the current family for over 60 years, this property has evolved and offers an attractive mix of period charm but has recently obtained Planning/Listed Building Consent for a further enlargement. The cottage occupies a delightful plot which extends to nearly 1.2 acres and there are numerous outbuildings and garages. The characterful accommodation comprises a large entrance hall, stunning living room with Inglenook fireplace, separate dining room, kitchen, study/4th bedroom, walk-in pantry, cloaks/shower and ground floor bathroom. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, one of which has a sink. Throughout the property, are a wealth of exposed oak joinery along with some lovely old doors and ironmongery. There are modern creature comforts including oil fired heating and a compliant private drainage system. The property is to be sold with no onward chain and viewings are strongly recommended with the vendors agent, Courtney Green.

SITUATION: Slinfold is a sought after and picturesque village almost midway between Billingshurst and Horsham (both have direct railway services to Victoria/London Bridge). The ancient St Peter’s Church and the highly regarded C E Primary School occupy central locations. For older children there is The Weald comprehensive school in Billingshurst and Tanbridge House secondary school in Horsham. Pennthorpe (mixed) and Farlington private schools are a short car journey away. There is a village store/post office and the well patronised Red Lyon Public House. Bus services to Horsham and Guildford run through the middle of the village and local sporting facilities include golf at Slinfold Park, and there are football, cricket and tennis clubs in the village and sports centres at Christ's Hospital and Broadbridge Heath.
