Harrow Cottage is an integral landmark that makes up part of the beautiful old English street scene on the edge of old Ifield. Backing onto fields that span the Surrey & West Sussex border, views across St Margaret's church and located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac you would not know you were on the edge of the largest town between London & Brighton. Hence why this is a conservation area.
Harrow Cottage was listed in the early 1980’s given its rich history spanning from the early 1700’s. The original hand painted sign is still used as a feature in the rear garden from the days when this cottage was the local grocer and pork butcher. It was originally adjoined to The Plough Inn which moved to it’s detached premises in the Victorian Era. Luckily the pub is still there and is highly rated locally.
Backing onto fields this is great for dog walking and children who want to go exploring. Less than 5 minutes from Ifield is the border with Surrey and peppered around are many livery yards for people who wish to keep a horse nearby as public bridleways and ancient woodland are in abundance. There is also a popular golf course nearby… Ifield Golf Club.
Ifield Station is a 10 - 15 minute walk (or 4 minute drive) and has services that arrive in London Victoria within 40 minutes.
The cottage currently offers 1774 square feet of internal space so is deceptively spacious, given it’s spread across many rooms it still retains a cosy feel and works out to less than £325 per square foot, therefore priced to sell. There is no onward chain with this purchase.
Viewings are strictly by appointment and commence on Thursday 1st March 2018.
