Believed to originate from the early 17th century with later additions, this beautiful Grade II Listed detached house sits perfectly in idyllic gardens of nearly two acres including stunning formal gardens, wildlife paddock, detached annexe and triple bay garaging. The property is conveniently situated for local amenities including schools nearby, with ease of access to London via the A24 or mainline stations in Billingshurst and Horsham. The current owners have lived here for almost 34 years and have enjoyed carrying out a comprehensive range of sympathetic restoration works to this wonderful character home. Some of the fabulous features include exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces, flagstone flooring and latched oak doors.
OUTSIDE
There are beautifully kept gardens, which are a wonderful feature of this magnificent home providing privacy and seclusion to all aspects. A stone pathway leads to the front door with box hedging to either side enclosing the formal tulip beds, with a fabulous wisteria covering the front of the house. There are various pathways within the grounds as well as several seating areas to enjoy the different aspects throughout all four seasons of the year as well as level areas of lawn. From the side patio a wooden bridge leads over a gentle stream and through the amazing pergola draped with various climbers including white wisteria, grape vine and a Rosa 'Rambling Rector' to the vegetable growing area with greenhouse, sheds and wildlife pond. The generous rear patio is a great spot for relaxing in the afternoons and there is a further pond to enjoy, and a romantic secure well. The owners have also created a meadow filled with wild flowers and providing a sanctuary for wildlife. As you meander through these attractive gardens there are various bridges, woodland, fruit trees including apple and plum, well-stocked and colourful flower beds containing a huge variety of plants, and there is a gated access to the rear. There is also an 18' x 33' above ground heated swimming pool and various outbuildings including a brick built store, brick built shed, and an oak triple bay garage. To conclude there is versatile detached annexe currently comprising study/occasional bedroom with en-suite shower room, bedroom/sitting room and kitchenette.
