Rectory Lane, Angmering

On behalf of the mortgagee in possession an offer has been accepted for this property. Any other offers should therefore be made to the agents prior to exchange of contracts.

Being sold as a repossession, so information is limited and the sale may come with additional conditions.

Believed to date back to 1704, this Grade II listed farmhouse gives you over 5,000 sq ft to work with. It’s a proper piece of history, extended over time into a large, flexible home. It now needs updating and repair, but that’s the upside, you can shape it how you want rather than undo someone else’s work.

Inside, the main rooms are well proportioned with high ceilings and original details still in place. There are also some lower ceiling areas around the halls and stairs, which is typical of a house of this age. In total there are six bedrooms, including two on the top floor.

On the west side, a separate wing is currently used as a utility, children’s sitting room and office. It could be reworked into an annexe, workspace or income producing unit, subject to the usual consents.

Within the grounds, screened by established hedging, there’s a two storey flint former gardener’s cottage. It needs work, but could become guest space or something more independent, again subject to listed building approval.

The gardens have clearly been cared for over time. You’ve got a mix of structured planting and more natural areas, with mature trees including tulip, cedar and walnut. Paths lead you through different sections, so it feels more like grounds than just a garden.

There’s a triple garage at the front and further parking beside the west wing.

The village is a short walk away with a shop, post office, pharmacy, doctors surgery and schools. Two pubs nearby and Ham Manor Golf Club just up the road.
