A superbly located 3 bedroom detached cottage, full of character and charm and some original beams and features. Just off the village green, the property is in a highly sought-after location, and offers good accommodation, although currently in need of some reparation. In the grounds there is a delightful barn-style garage/store with mezzanine level. FERNHURST A highly sought-after location, Fernhurst lies in the north-west corner of West Sussex within the South Downs National Park. It is close to the border of Hampshire and just a few minutes' drive from Haslemere (55 minutes by train to London Waterloo). Retaining a real village character, Fernhurst is a hive of activity for all ages. The idyllic village green on the eastern side is surrounded by old and beautiful buildings, with the parish church at its north-west corner, and the pub to the north-east, while the tennis courts, cricket green and pavilion lie to its east. The village primary school is within easy walking distance, as are a range of shops, including an independent greengrocer and village shop, the health centre, the post office and chemist. More comprehensive shopping and leisure facilities are available in Haslemere. The surrounding countryside comprises a mixture of woodland and farmland ideal for walking, sporting and country pursuits, whilst to the south are Goodwood, the South Downs and Chichester, famous for its theatre, cathedral and sailing.
