"Tucked away in the heart of West Wellow, Sun Cottage is the very definition of a picture perfect, thatched roof dream. With origins dating back to the 1600s, this beautiful home seamlessly blends period charm with modern comforts.
Steeped in history, the property retains its character with exposed original timbers, thick walls, and a wealth of period features. The lounge, with its striking brick fireplace and inviting beams, offers the ultimate cosy retreat, while the principal bedroom benefits from a newly renovated en suite bathroom featuring a vintage French inspired sitz step bath. Two further double bedrooms are served by a separate shower room, providing flexible accommodation.
The heart of the home is the generous kitchen dining room, which boasts a range of wall and base units, ample space for a dining table, and direct access to the garden room. Sunlight floods the interiors, creating a warm and vibrant atmosphere throughout.
Beyond the main house, a fully equipped, detached two storey annexe affectionately known as The Lodge offers additional accommodation, ideal for guests, dependent relatives, or as a potential holiday let subject to permissions . A recently added oak framed double carport includes a workshop and an insulated loft room with an en suite shower room, making an ideal home office or creative studio.
Set within approximately 1 3 acre of beautifully landscaped gardens, Sun Cottage is a true sanctuary. Once overgrown and in need of care, the grounds have been transformed into a flourishing retreat, featuring terraces, winding paths, and 43 stunning Acers among a variety of specimen plants. Designed to capture the sun throughout the day, the gardens provide a peaceful and private escape. Each year, they have been opened to the public for charity events benefiting St Margaret s Church, welcoming visitors to enjoy vibrant floral displays in a serene setting.
Sun Cottage is a rare opportunity to own a home that combines historical charm with modern convenience. Offering privacy, character, and a strong sense of community, it is a place where memories are made and cherished for years to come.
