An attractive brick and flint fronted property, in a popular location, benefitting from a self contained annexe with independent access and a large detached garage.

Situated in a lane, with views over farmland towards the South Downs, this appealing property enjoys sociable outside space in the form of a generous private garden, augmented by a swimming pool with an extensive sun terrace.

Ground Floor
On entering, the spacious reception hall features a wide plank engineered oak floor that extends through the entire ground floor reception space. The bright sitting room has a recessed wood burner and a semi-circular bay window. Configured in an L-shape, this super reception room has a study off it, and both sitting room and study have glazed double doors which lead into a conservatory/garden room. (There is clear opportunity to reconfigure the ground floor if desired, perhaps to create a contemporary open plan space). The kitchen is fitted and oriented the depth of the house with a dual aspect. A defined breakfast space provides for a table and chairs and a door leads into an adjoining utility room. A cloakroom, located off the reception hall, completes the ground floor accommodation.

Frist Floor
Once upstairs a bright landing gives access to the main bedroom, a light room with views towards to South Downs. This bedroom has two built in wardrobes and an en suite shower room. Two further bedrooms are located to the rear of the house, enjoying garden views, while the fourth bedroom (a single), is located to the front of the property. A family bathroom is located off the landing.

Annexe
Comprising one bedroom with a kitchenette and shower room, the annex has an independent side access, or can also be accessed internally via a door from the utility room into a rear lobby. The bedroom has a view of the garden and immediate access to the garden via glazed sliding doors. To one side of the house and adjacent to the annex is driveway provision for parking for 1-2 vehicles via a five bar gate.

Outside
The garden space to the front, shielded to the lane by a mature hedgerow, is neatly maintained and largely bricked and paved. There is a substantial detached garage with a pitched and tiled roof and door to the rear garden. Alongside this is further parking space which could accommodate a boat, motorhome or additional vehicles.

The rear garden is a lovely asset to Rothley Cottage, enjoying a high degree of privacy. There is a paved sun terrace and a substantial area of neat lawn, while the swimming pool is ideally sited with an adjoining terrace.
