5 bedroom house

A well maintained Grade II listed detached house that has been looked after and extended over time, situated in a semi rural location yet a short walk of the village with wonderful gardens and views towards the South Downs



The property occupies a semi-rural setting within the village of Bolney surrounded by open fields but within minutes walk of all the village amenities. The larger town of Haywards Heath with a comprehensive array of shops, restaurants, bars and amenities for all ages is approximately 6 miles to the east. The mainline train station provides links to Brighton, London and Gatwick, with London Victoria by train being approximately 42 minutes. Sporting and recreational facilities are extensive with swimming at the Dolphin Centre, golf at Haywards Heath, Lindfield and Piltdown and a variety of water sports at Brighton Marina and Ardingly Reservoir. A revered selection of schooling can also be found locally.



With origins believed to date back to the mid 16th Century this wonderful home showcases a wealth of period and character features throughout and benefits from later additions creating a sizable family house suited to the more modern lifestyle. Inglenook fireplaces, wide stave oak floorboards and exposed beams weave themselves through the original parts of the property. There are 3 principal reception rooms on the ground floor along with a sizable kitchen/breakfast room running front to back and having stunning views over the manicured south facing gardens. A central oak staircase leads to the first floor where 5 sizable bedrooms and 2 bathrooms reside. The double aspect master bedroom with painted floorboards is of particular note enjoying beautiful views over the garden and farmland beyond. Quintessentially English gardens surround the property on all sides and total approximately 0.6 acres. A sizable terrace adjoining the rear of the property provides another glorious position to enjoy the sunny garden, with manicured lawns and beautifully crafted well stocked shrub beds extending from it. Useful outbuildings including a large garden room, workshop and store run along the western perimeter. A gated driveway provides ample parking and access to the garage.
