"Sussex Cottage is an enchanting, semi detached property with enhanced interiors which provide a pleasing open ambience, echoing stylish presentation. Character features include exposed rustic timbers, flagstone flooring and vintage fireplaces, with beautiful wood floor covering extending from the hallway across the first reception room. The sitting area enjoys the warmth of a wood burning stove with space for dining alongside and double doors provide a link into the bright kitchen breakfast room. Fitted with white, modern cabinetry, topped with wood work surfaces, the kitchen features an island unit which creates a subtle divide to the informal breakfast area and there are glazed double doors which connect to the garden terrace. French doors to the opposite aspect open into a bright sun room which provides a relaxed space where a glass roof and glazed doors to the front garden blur the boundaries between the inside and the outside. The principal bedroom on the ground floor is accessed via a well appointed dressing room, with a smart en suite shower room and French doors linking to the garden. On the first floor, there are two further bedrooms, both with decorative cast iron fireplaces, and a stylish family bathroom.

A brick and flint wall fronts the lane, with pedestrian access to the entrance doorway and the front garden where fragrant lavender bushes line the edge of the gravelled pathway. In the rear garden, paving adjoins the back of the house with direct access from the kitchen breakfast room and the principal bedroom onto a sheltered terrace. A pathway links to a further paved setting with low brick wall surround which offers an enclosed zone for dining al fresco. Borders are filled with an attractive collection of colourful and architectural shrubs and perennial plants, which frame an area of lawn in this tranquil, outdoor sanctuary. A private lane just beyond the property leads to a secure gated parking space for two cars which offers a rear access route to the house.

With an archetypal village pond and a popular food focused pub, West Ashling lies in a stunning semi rural setting with vistas to the South Downs landscape. Local amenities can be found at nearby Funtington, which has an excellent farm shop and a primary school, and at Bosham, which is also home to a well regarded sailing club attracting dinghy sailors and yachtsmen alike, with access to excellent sailing within the harbour and the Solent beyond. The mainline station at Chichester provides journeys along the south coast, to London Victoria via Gatwick and to London Waterloo via nearby Havant. For motorists, the A27, provides access to the A3 M and on to the M25, linking to major road networks. Well regarded schooling in the vicinity includes Bishop Luffa School, Oakwood School, The Prebendal School, Westbourne House and Portsmouth Grammar School."
