" Dating back to circa 1546, this pretty Grade II listed double fronted cottage is situated within the heart of this pretty village that lies within the South Downs National Park and enjoys views across the village pond and towards St. Mary's church, which dates back to the 12th Century. The house comes with a wealth of charm and character with many period features including open fireplaces, exposed beams, original doors and even a bread oven in the dining room. Accommodation on the ground floor briefly comprises a well-proportioned sitting room with Inglenook fireplace and inset wood burning stove, dining room with oak flooring and again a beautiful original fireplace, and a thoughtfully designed kitchen with a range of fitted appliances and oak worktops. On the first floor there are two double bedrooms and a modern bathroom with a further double bedroom on the second floor. To the rear of the property there is an attractive mature rear garden.

The village also benefits from two excellent public houses, The Five Bells and Village Inn, as well as a village hall and recreation ground which includes tennis courts and a cricket pitch. The pretty market town of Petersfield is also only a stone's throw away with a wide range of shops and a mainline railway station offering a direct service to London Waterloo in just over an hour. The Hindhead tunnel is easily accessible with Guildford, Portsmouth and Chichester also being within easy reach. There are also excellent state and private schools in the area including Bedales in Steep and Churches College in Petersfield with the South Downs National Park and surrounding countryside providing some of the finest walks and cycling in the country.
