Steyning High Street is flanked with a bounteous collection of Grade II listed houses and cottages in a charming range of styles and sizes, and Causeway Cottage is no exception. Stepping inside, the front door opens into the embrace of a genteel sitting room in the oldest part of the house. With comfortable, elegant seating, an inglenook log burner and Smart TV, the ancient lath and plaster wall remains on show in the corner to reveal the architectural history of this home dating back to 1435.
From the sitting room, one doorway leads to the main staircase to the first floor, and another door brings you into the kitchen where an electric Aga stands proudly in the middle. Through the kitchen a separate dining room looks over the garden through leadlight windows. From the family room there are steps up to a gorgeous old oak door into bedroom three, but as the access is particularly low, we suggest using the main staircase from the living room. At the top of these main stairs are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. Do take care throughout this Grade II listed home as there are several low doorways and beams, all part of the charm but can catch you if unaware. Outside and accessed through the kitchen and family room there is a wonderful walled garden, planted with traditional flowers and shrubs between brick pathways in classic cottage style.

The small village of Bramber next door has remained largely unchanged over the centuries and is overlooked by the remains of the castle built after the Norman Conquest.

Just west of Steyning is the famous landmark of Chanctonbury Ring on the South Downs, a three mile walk from the Roundhill above the town where you can pick up the South Downs Way. Cissbury Ring, another Iron Age hill fort is a picturesque 3-mile walk from Chanctonbury and provides wonderful views over the Downs and out to sea; on clear days Chichester and the Isle of Wight are easily visible from Cissbury. To the east there is fine walking along the South Downs Way towards Truleigh Hill and beyond to Devil’s Dyke and Ditchling Beacon. There are spectacular long range views en-route, both inland over the Weald and out to sea over Shoreham by Sea and Brighton.
