Charming village house with lovely gardens.
Description
Situated at the heart of the village, in the conservation area, Foxhurst is a charming and beautifully presented Grade II listed detached house reputed to date from the 1850s with extensive views over surrounding farmland, stretching all the way to Blackdown. At one point it was a pub known as The Fox Inn and in recent years it has been extended providing well proportioned, characterful accommodation. The ground floor is approached through an entrance porch leading to a sitting room with woodburning stove and exposed timbers. The fitted kitchen with Aga has been extended during our clients ownership with a versatile family room created, used as a breakfast room or living space with doors leading directly on to the lovely gardens. Off the kitchen is a dining room which can comfortably serve a large family with guests and beyond is a 22’ drawing room - a fine room with a wide fireplace housing a woodburning stove and access on to the garden. A study and a downstairs shower room complete the ground floor accommodation and from the kitchen are steps down to a good sized, two-roomed cellar offering good storage.
On the first floor are five bedrooms, three of which have built in wardrobes and there is a large family bathroom.
The gardens are a particular feature of the property and extend to approximately an acre. Wide level lawns with areas of thriving wild flower meadow lead to a productive kitchen garden and established orchard. There is a pond and a number of mature trees offering shade and cover. There is a greenhouse and a brick-built store and a double garage with parking in front for three cars.
Location
Plaistow is a pretty West Sussex village and offers a junior school, playgroup, village shop, tennis court, cricket on the green, public house and church.
A good range of shops and services for daily needs are available in nearby Cranleigh and Haslemere, which also offers a main line connection to London Waterloo from 49 minutes. More extensive shopping, leisure, and cultural amenities are available in Guildford. The area is well served for schools, including Plaistow and Kirdford primary school, Cranleigh, Guildford Royal Grammar School, Charterhouse and Seaford College. Recreational opportunities include golf at Chiddingfold, racing at Goodwood, polo at Cowdray Park and sailing at Chichester Harbour. In addition, there is an abundance of footpaths and bridleways within easy reach.
