East Street, Titchfield Village

Situated within the heart of this most sought-after village, an iconic Grade II listed cottage with origins dating back to the late 1800’s, offering an abundance of character features with generous reception space, three double bedrooms and a private walled garden.

This picturesque cottage has been the much-loved home of my client for seventeen years and during his time of ownership he has upgraded and maintained the cottage throughout. On entering, the hallway is a good size and is currently being used as a Study; adjacent is a beautiful Sitting Room evoking a sense of history with exposed wall and ceiling beams and featuring a wonderful open brick inglenook fireplace flanked on both sides with storage cupboards and shelves. The Kitchen/Dining Room is well proportioned and the kitchen is fitted with stylish blue storage cupboards, Iroko worktops and a Smeg rangemaster cooker; the Dining area is also generous with bespoke bench seating and a gas wood effect burning stove creating a lovely ambient vibe. There is also a built-in pantry cupboard, additional storage cupboards and a door leading to a side lobby giving direct access to the street. There is a Utility Room with butler’s sink, Iroko worktops and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, in addition to a W.C. Upstairs all three bedrooms are good sized doubles, two offering views across to Titchfield church spire; they are complemented by a traditional style bathroom with metro tiles, a roll top bath and separate shower. The back garden stretches to in excess of 80ft in length and is completely walled with a large terrace spanning the width of the cottage providing the ideal area for al fresco dining. A pathway leads down the garden with areas of lawn on both sides and mature shrubs and trees; there are two wooden gardeners’ sheds.

Titchfield is a beautiful unspoilt Medieval village with a thriving community who frequent the chic coffee shops, jewellery shop, bakery and wine garden. There are numerous hair salons, two convenience stores and a dog groomers. There are good road and rail links nearby and there is a mindful walk through a bird sanctuary through Titchfield Haven Nature Reserve to Hill Head beach.
