6 Bed Detached House For Sale Rectory Lane, Littlehampton, BN16

An 18th Century Sussex farmhouse Listed Grade II, with over 5,000 sqft of accommodation. The house is believed to date from 1704 and has been subsequently extended to now offer very flexible and adaptable family accommodation. The house is now in need of some repair and offers huge potential to create a beautiful family home. In addition to the main house is a wing on the west side which is currently arranged as a large utility room, kids sitting room and office. A prospective purchaser may wish to look into converting these rooms into an annexe, office suite or Airbnb.

In the gardens, hidden behind high hedging is a two storey flint former gardeners cottage which could also be repurposed as an Airbnb (both subject to planning and listed building consent).

The main accommodation has very well proportioned reception rooms, mostly with high ceilings although there are a few lower areas around the hallways and staircase. The six bedrooms are all good sizes with two being on the second floor.

The gardens are a particular feature, with a mix of English country planting and wild reseeding and there are a number of specimen trees including weigla, tulip tree, cedar, bay and walnut. Various hidden paths lead to lawns and seating areas, whilst at the front there is a triple garage with ample parking. There are an additional three parking spaces adjacent to the west wing.

The village centre has a good and comprehensive range of local shops and facilities including pharmacy, post office and general store, with doctors' surgery and schools all within walking distance. There are two local pubs nearby as is Ham Manor Golf Course. Just to the north of the village is access to the A27 providing fast trunk road travel to Brighton in the east and Chichester in the west, and there are mainline railway stations at Angmering and Arundel serving London Victoria in about 1 hour 40 minutes. The popular beaches at East Preston and Kingston Gorse will be found to the south and there are miles of open walking and riding countryside on the South Downs which are visible across the fields to the north.
