The Property
Occupying a sought after location within a National Landscape on the outskirts of the desirable village of Chiddingfold, Willow Tree Cottage is a characterful Victorian home offering a wonderful combination of charm, generous living space and exceptional versatility. Arranged over three floors, the property boasts period features, a wealth of reception rooms and extensive bedroom accommodation, complemented by a separate annexe, a heated swimming pool and delightful gardens. A further notable feature is the provision of equestrian facilities with their own separate access.

The property is entered through a welcoming hallway, complete with a useful cloakroom and coat cupboard. From here, the accommodation unfolds into a series of generously proportioned and individual reception spaces, creating a home ideally suited to both family living and entertaining.

At the heart of the house is a large kitchen/breakfast/dining room, providing a sociable and practical space for everyday life. The kitchen is fitted with an electric Aga and a range of handmade freestanding kitchen furniture, a large island with a feature granite top, while French doors open onto the veranda to the garden, creating an attractive connection between the interior and outside space. A substantial utility room, with separate external access, provides additional storage and practicality.

The reception accommodation is particularly appealing, with a well proportioned sitting room featuring an open fireplace and characterful beams. Its distinctive circular layout connects with the family room, creating a wonderful sense of flow between the spaces. A further snug provides a cosy room, while a separate music room or home office offers excellent flexibility for working from home or hobby room.

The first floor is centred around a generous main bedroom suite comprising a spacious bedroom, separate dressing room and its own sitting room with en-suite bathroom including a bath and separate shower. Three further double bedrooms are served by a family shower room, providing excellent accommodation for family members and guests. On the second floor, a further bedroom offers additional flexibility, suitable for guest accommodation, a teenager or nanny.

Gardens and Grounds
A particularly valuable feature of the property is the separate annexe, providing independent accommodation comprising a kitchen, sitting room and bedroom with en-suite shower room. This versatile space is ideal for visiting family and friends, multi-generational living or those seeking independent accommodation close to the main house.

The outside space is equally appealing with a large garden predominantly laid to lawn with attractive flower beds and a variety of apple trees, providing an excellent setting. To the rear of the house, a lovely veranda offers a sheltered place to sit and enjoy the garden throughout the seasons. Elsewhere, a separate garden complete with a pond and fountain offers a peaceful enclave and another area of garden houses an attractive greenhouse with raised vegetable beds.

To the side of the house, a swimming pool heated by an air source heat pump provides an excellent addition. Further practical amenities include a double garage, a separate store and a summerhouse and shed, offering useful space for storage, equipment and hobbies.

The property also benefits from a particularly attractive range of equestrian facilities, set within just over four acres of land and enjoying their own separate vehicular access. This arrangement allows equestrian activities to be kept conveniently separate from the everyday use of the main house.

The facilities comprise three stables, a sand school and a field shelter, with the surrounding land providing space for grazing with water troughs connected to the mains. The property benefits from a network of bridleways on the door step.
