Believed to date from the mid sixteenth century this exceptionally charming cottage provides a wealth of period features including an inglenook area, exposed timbers and ledged and braced internal doors. Aside from the historic significance and central village location, a further particular feature is the generous south-facing cottage garden.
Approached from a flagstone pathway bordered by mature Lavender there is a useful front porch which opens through to a dining room/reception hall. To the side there is a sitting room (with feature inglenook), and beyond a good sized study/fourth bedroom. To the rear of the property there is a kitchen, utility room, lobby and a shower room. Upstairs there are two large double bedrooms (with ample built-in storage) and a further third bedroom/dressing room (which also provides a w/c and a sink unit).
Outside and to the rear of the property there is an attractive outbuilding, with flint elevations, currently used as a workshop. Subject to the usual planning consents this could form ancillary accommodation. Framed in mature vines and adjacent there is a slightly elevated al fresco dining area, ideal for entertaining, and a further patio to the side. The main section of the garden, laid to lawn, extends to the south and is bordered by flint walls and boxed hedging. There is a wide variety of flowering shrubs and plants within the borders. To the rear of the garden there is a very useful garden room with the benefit of electricity, ideal for home working or studio. There is a further area laid to lawn towards the front of the cottage.
Lavender Cottage is located in the heart of this popular coastal villlage. The property has the huge benefit of being within level walking distance from the popular beach, and being within close walking distance to an excellent selection of local shops, village hall and other amenities. In the early 1800's a notable former resident of Felpham was the poet William Blake who whilst residing in the village, it is believed, wrote the famous line about "England's green and pleasant land" - today known as the anthem "Jerusalem".
The historic town of Arundel and Cathedral City of Chichester, are only 6 and 8 miles away respectively. The town of Bognor Regis, with its many activities on offer, high selection of bars and restaurants and mainline train station is also located just down the road. Links to London are very well serviced with direct and rail services, via Horsham and London Gatwick, to London Victoria from both Littlehampton, Barnham and Bognor Regis.
