DESCRIPTION Rock Cottage is a delightful 16th Century cottage nestled in the village of Sutton, in the heart of the South Downs National Park. This historic Grade II listed house has very attractive external elevations which includes timber framing, in-filled with local stone. The house is believed to have been divided into two cottages around 150 years ago and then was returned to one house. It remained that way until 2004 when it was extensively refurbished to a high standard by the current owners several years ago and includes many period features such as exposed oak beams, inglenook fireplaces, vaulted ceilings as well as beautiful oak flooring, doors and windows and well-appointed Fired-Earth bathrooms and a hand-built kitchen.
On the ground floor the accommodation includes a sitting room with inglenook fireplace and timber framing opening into the study area. There is also a family room with inglenook fireplace, which could be used as a dining room. The fitted kitchen opens into a lovely conservatory which overlooks the garden. There is also a cloakroom and good size utility room. On the first floor the bedrooms are all open to the eaves with high vaulted ceilings and extensive exposed timbers. The main bedroom has a high vaulted ceiling and direct access to the bathroom. There are 3 further bedrooms and a shower room. Outside, the property is approached over a gravel entrance drive which provides ample parking. The garden is a lovely feature of the property, being very private and with a large paved terrace, extensive areas of lawn, plant beds with a wide variety of flowering shrubs and plants, a large garden shed and all bordered by mature hedges and trees. In all the property extends to about 0.32 of an acre
AMENITIES AND TRANSPORT Rock Cottage is situated in the downland village of Sutton, a peaceful, unspoilt and popular location right at the foot of the South Downs, within the South Downs National Park. The medieval Church of St John the Baptist is located almost opposite and the recently refurbished White Horse Public House and a Village Hall are within a few hundred yards. It is a particularly tranquil part of West Sussex yet accessible to Petworth, Arundel and Chichester.

The popular city of Chichester with its excellent range of shops and Festival Theatre is about 12 miles to the south-west. The famous Goodwood estate with its horseracing, motor racing and golf is within about 8 miles. There is also polo at Cowdray, further golf at Midhurst and Pulborough and sailing and other water sports at Chichester. Central London via the A3 is just over 50 miles.
