Extended character cottage at the foot of the South Downs

This 18th century cottage with later extensions and swimming pool is situated at the foot of the South Downs in Treyford.

Allan Cottage was extended in the 1970s to provide a spacious five bedroom family home which retains character and charm.

Constructed of brick and stone with tile hanging beneath a clay tiled roof, it is adorned with roses and wisteria.

A front porch enters into a large entrance hall with a wood burner.

The double-aspect drawing room has an open fireplace and offers fantastic views across the garden, neighbouring farmland and on to the South Downs.

The dining room has a bay window as well stunning views and can comfortably seat ten people.

The kitchen/breakfast room leads to the utility room, with a door out to the garden.

Also on the ground floor is a study and vaulted studio with mezzanine.

Stairs from the entrance hall lead to the first floor with a large master bedroom with dressing area and bathroom en-suite, and lovely views across open country to the South Downs.

There are three further bedrooms, all with stunning views, and a family bathroom.

On the second floor is a fifth bedroom and access to a large boarded loft room.

The garden features a spring-fed pond and stream with a wide range of trees including mature oak, beech, silver birch, willow and walnut.

To the rear of the house is a swimming pool and summerhouse with terraced area and small copse beyond.

A greenhouse and fruit cage occupy the north east corner of the garden, and there is also a garden store and potting shed which are concealed by a beautiful, mature apple tree.

Allan Cottage is approached over a long drive, and a car port with storage offers extra covered parking.

The gardens, in all about two acres, surround the house and are mainly laid to lawn giving uninterrupted views.

Treyford is an idyllic, peaceful hamlet at the foot of the South Downs. The towns of Midhurst and Petersfield are close by and provide for most everyday needs, while Guildford and Chichester are within easy reach and have more extensive shopping, galleries, restaurants and leisure facilities.
