Henfield Common North, Henfield

A rare opportunity to buy one of the south facing properties that directly overlook Henfield Common. This stunning two double bedroom cottage has a spacious living dining area with an elegant fireplace as its centrepiece, housing a dual fuel Morso stove. In the hand built kitchen which has painted shaker style cupboards, there is an enamel butler sink set below the pretty window overlooking the rear garden. Access to the garden from both the kitchen and the reception room is through a useful small conservatory room which is lovely and light and could be used as a home office. In the rear garden there is also a brick built outbuilding which has a new roof, electricity and lighting, and could become a garden studio.

Upstairs there are two lovely double bedrooms, one with views over the front garden and the common and the other overlooking the back garden. The bathroom was designed by the current owner and has a luxurious freestanding double-ended roll top bath, a separate shower cubicle and a counter top basin set on a hand built vanity unit. There is access to a boarded loft via a pull down ladder. The house also benefits from quality double glazing and a solar panel.

Henfield Common which is on your doorstep, is an expanse of flowered meadow grass, and woodland and is a Local Wildlife Site. The property falls within the Henfield Common conservation area and is only a few minutes walk from all the amenities in the village. There are a number of local pubs and eateries including, of note, the Post House Café which is perfect for lunch, or cake and coffee, but also periodically hosts a pop up à la carte menu evening. The Taste Deli does an occasional bistro evening in addition to its delicious daytime offerings of home-made and locally sourced products.

There are exceptional opportunities for walking and cycling in the local area, on the Downs Link path either towards Shoreham and the coast, or inland to Guildford. Henfield Cricket Club, one of the oldest in the country founded in 1771, is close by on the other side of the common.
