1 Bed Semi-Detached House, Singleton, PO18

Rare opportunity to rent a historic, brick and flint cottage in the heart of a picture-perfect downland village.

This perfectly proportioned, one bedroom property brims with charm and period features. Dating from the 18th century, the building has been refurbished to offer all the comforts of modern living, while retaining the quaint feel of this lovely home. The property is offered furnished, and benefits from charming period pieces that perfectly complement the building. 

The entrance-way leads directly into a classic farmhouse-style kitchen with butler sink, solid wood counter tops and breakfast bar seating. Beyond is a large lounge, with lovely period furnishings, a wood burning stove and plenty of storage. The ground floor benefits from an additional large utility area – with washing machine, drying area, pantry, wine storage and a downstairs WC.

The first floor has a good-sized double bedroom, with home office nook. Leading to, separate, small dressing room with clothes storage space and a shower room beyond.

The property is heated throughout with a modern electric system that allows room by room control of timers and heating.

Externally, there are two small private areas that would suit bistro-style, two-seater outdoor dining or a garden bench - there is no private garden as such though. There is an allocated parking space and private EV charging.

The property is in a quiet close of houses, in the very heart of Singleton village, with the local pub, The Partridge, just a stones throw away.

Singleton Open Air Museum is a short walk away, with further dining and café options. West Dean gardens is a two-minute drive, again with daytime café, a wealth of arts-based, short courses and beautiful gardens to explore year-round. There are further idyllic pubs within an easy walk, within the adjacent villages of West Dean, Lavant, Cocking and Chilgrove. The South Downs Way passes within easy reach and Chichester city centre, with its abundance of restaurants, shopping and a world renowned theatre, is just a 6-mile car or bus ride away. Singleton also borders the Goodwood Estate, which hosts a full calendar of horse and motor racing, an aerodrome, the famous Good Festival of Speed and Goodwood Revival events, as well as further high-end dining , a farm shop, health club, golf course and a prestige hotel. Further afield, the beautiful Chichester Harbour is just 8 miles away, with endless water sports opportunities, and the stunning beaches at West Wittering and Bracklesham are just a mile or two further on.

The property is ideal for single occupancy or a couple. Well mannered pets are welcome.
