General Description
Surrounded by the glorious Arundel countryside, is this
picturesque, grade II listed, 19th century cottage. Completely
renovated, the original flint and brick exterior has been carefully
exposed. The clean lines of the new reed thatch roof add to the
beauty of the building. Internally, traditional limed oak beams and
hand made doors create authenticity. The front door is a feature in
itself, in handmade polished oak. Slate tiles have been used on the
entire ground floor, including slate skirting and window ledges.
Upstairs, all flooring is polished oak, creating a warm and modern
feeling, yet still in keeping with the building. With attention to
detail, from the handmade wrought iron light fittings, kitchen
cupboard and drawer handles and ham hooks to the fireplaces with
their cast iron wood burners and wood burning stove, everything has
been designed to keep this incredible building traditional yet
modern.

all the rooms on the ground floor, looking out onto the fields in
front and the gardens behind. With wonderful features, like the
handmade wrought iron light fittings, accompanied by fireplaces at
each end of the room, fitted with wood-burners, an authentic and
traditional feeling is created. The lounge leads on to the kitchen

to the first floor. There is also a single glazed stable door

central heating, and there are three radiators in this room.

hardwood work surface houses the Belfast sink, with space beneath

Bedroom Four - 10' 1'' x 8' 4'' (3.07m x 2.54m)
This is the only bedroom that does not have double aspect views,
however, the outlook to the garden is more than sufficient. This is
a single bedroom with a radiator.
External Utility Room
Within easy reach of the cottage there is a spacious utility room.
There is a good amount of shelving and storage space. There is a
butler sink, supplied with hot water from a wall mounted electric
water heater. A wall mounted tumble dryer and a washing machine are
conveniently placed. In a recess by the door is a handy space that
the vendor currently uses for wine racks and a wine fridge.
Stable Blocks
Two sectional, moveable stable blocks have been placed in the
grounds, one adjacent to the cottage, currently used for storage
and one adjacent to the paddock, in use by the vendor's two
horses.
Paddock
There is a reasonable sized paddock, right next to the stables, for
convenience.
Workshop & Storage
A large outbuilding has been divided into two rooms, one racked out
for storage with further storage space in the eaves, the other has
been made into a woodworking shop, fitted out with benches, shelves
and racking. There is an electricity supply and lighting.
Garden
The pretty garden has been walled in by the cottage and is a mass
of colour with carefully placed plants and shrubs. The property is
'L' shaped, and the leg leading away from the cottage contains the
stables, workshops and some other items, including, a greenhouse,
raspberry box and a container the vendors use for storage and which
they will be taking with them.
Agents Note
The new reed thatch roof is a great alternative to straw. A fire
resistant membrane has been installed under the thatch. The roof
comes with a 30 year guarantee and protects not only from fire
risk, but vermin as well. It should be noted that insurance on this
property is now comparable with that of a dwelling with a standard
roof. The property has the benefit of mains water, electricity,
drainage and gas fired central heating. The vendor informs us that
the area of grazing land and area where the horse box is parked
adjacent to the Calcetto Cottage is available for rent by separate
negotiation with the adjoining owner.
