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.
