About the property

Trundle Cottage is an attractive detached home believed to date from the 1940s. Set back from the road behind a five-bar gate, the property enjoys a generous frontage with a substantial driveway, lawned garden and mature boundaries, providing excellent privacy.

A covered entrance porch opens into a welcoming reception hall, where herringbone wood flooring continues into the impressive dual-aspect sitting room. This bright room features a wood-burning stove set within a fireplace recess and opens into the dining room, creating a sociable semi open-plan layout. To the rear, the superb garden/dining room enjoys wide glazed windows overlooking the garden and a striking roof lantern that fills the space with natural light. The generously proportioned kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with Shaker-style cabinetry, wooden work surfaces and a range cooker, with space for an island and everyday dining. Bi-fold doors further enhance the connection between the house and garden. The principal bedroom is located on the ground floor and benefits from built-in wardrobes and a contemporary en suite shower room. On the first floor are two further double bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes, served by a well-appointed family bathroom.

The rear garden provides a private and peaceful setting. A gravelled terrace and substantial sun deck create excellent spaces for outdoor entertaining, while a lawn extends to the rear where a useful garden shed is positioned. Mature trees, shrubs and established hedging complete this secluded environment.

Other nearby attractions include the Weald and Downland Open Air Museum, West Dean Gardens, Fishbourne Roman Palace, Tangmere Military Aviation Museum, Goodwood House, Stansted Park and Petworth House.
