AMENITIES Thatch Cottage sits within a small no-through lane in the heart of Boxgrove Village opposite the historic 12th Century Boxgrove Priory, generally considered one of the finest examples of the early English style of church architecture in Sussex. It has direct access to a rural public footpath and the ancient village has a local shop, primary school and village hall within a few minutes walk. The Goodwood Estate is very close by, internationally renowned for its horse racing and motor sport, the famous Festival of Speed and the Goodwood Revival. Gold is available at the Goodwood Hotel for non-residents. The historic walled City of Chichester is about 4 miles away offering fabulous shopping, restaurants and of course the Chichester Festival Theatre which attracts many of the worlds top actors to its stage. A short drive will take you to the charming town of Arundel situated on the River Arun with its impressive castle. There is also an excellent pub within walking distance.

DESCRIPTION The cottage is a Grade II Listed and thought to date from the 15th Century with a recent extension. It has flint and brick elevations, part colour washed, with a forward projecting porch, studded wood front door with bottle glass windows and a thatched roof. An entrance porch with quarry tiled floor leads to a traditional beamed sitting room with brick fireplace and hearth opening to a snug/study area. A particular feature of the property is the fabulous family living/dining room with exposed locally sourced oak and French doors opening to the patio and garden. There is a kitchen fitted with hand crafted units with granite work surfaces, a rear hall with cloakroom, utility room and separate boiler room. A solid oak staircase rises to the first floor where the principal bedroom with an attractive vaulted ceiling overlooks the garden. It has an en-suite bathroom and there are 2 further double bedrooms and a well fitted family bathroom.

OUTSIDE There is a formal front garden with picket fence and gravelled parking area to the side of the house with old timber workshop beyond (in need of repair). The main garden to the rear is south facing and incorporates a paved patio and herringbone courtyard with awning over, and a raised fish-pond. Part-way down the garden is a summer-house and beyond is a substantial insulated studio building with power, light and water connected and fitted with a log-burner. Approximately one third of an acre.
