Pear Tree Bungalow

With white rendered and tile-hung elevations, Pear Tree is an attractive property, having only been built 5 years ago by its current owners. The property offers light and airy accommodation, with a neutral colour palette which creates a calming ambience for a relaxed lifestyle. Crossing the threshold from the aesthetically crafted entrance porch, a generous reception hall gives access to the impressive kitchen, dining and family room. Filled with natural light courtesy of the double aspect and French doors that lead to a garden terrace, this sociable setting offers ample space for dining and casual seating and provides a link from the inside to the outside environment. Fitted with sleek, modern cabinetry, topped with stone work surfaces, the kitchen features integrated appliances, a Belfast sink and an island unit, whilst an adjacent utility room provides a home for domestic appliances and a spot to cast off and store outdoor wear. The spacious sitting room is centred around a feature fireplace with timber lintel. French doors offer views of the
surrounding countryside, and for home workers, an adjoining study provides a quiet refuge. On the first floor, the four double bedrooms enjoy glorious, elevated views, with the principal room having the benefit of a walk-in wardrobe and a smart en suite shower room. The family bathroom on this upper level has modern fixtures, with a shower fitting over the tub and contemporary cabinetry provides storage. With an air source heat pump proving underfloor heating for both up and down stairs.

The property is approached via decorative bespoke steelwork gates which open onto a gravelled driveway with parking provision for several cars. A paved pathway, edged with lavender bushes, meanders through lawned areas to reach the storm porch at the entrance to the home, whilst hedging to the southerly aspect creates a natural boundary. Picket fencing forms a divide to the side garden, with a convenient gate providing access. The grounds extend around to the rear of the home where there is a manicured lawn and beyond, a more naturalist section of the garden. Post and rail fencing to the far boundaries, afford an open outlook to fields and farmland, and wooded areas in the distance. A paved terrace with direct access from the sitting and dining rooms offers opportunities for outdoor dining and relaxation. Sitting in a plot of 1.2 acres.

The property is situated in a picturesque semirural setting to the north-west of the village of Cowfold, which offers a range of independent stores, a medical surgery, the popular Hare and Hounds public house and a primary school. Slightly further afield, the market town of Horsham provides a comprehensive range of shopping, including a John Lewis at Home, Waitrose and the Swan Walk shopping centre, along with a railway station offering regular services to London, Peterborough to the north and South coast towns.

Sporting amenities in the region include golf at the West Sussex Club, Mannings Heath and Cottesmore, and cricket, hockey and tennis at the Horsham Sports Club. For the equestrian enthusiast, polo may be enjoyed at Knepp Castle, Cowdray Park and The Hurtwood, horse racing at Fontwell Park, Plumpton and Goodwood (the latter also offering motor racing), and show jumping at Hickstead. The area is also well served with excellent schools including Farlington, Christ’s Hospital, Pennthorpe and Seaford College
