ACCOMMODATION SUMMARY

The property offers spacious accommodation that has been updated and refurbished by the current owners, yet retains many interesting and character features. The ground floor boasts a generous hallway, with a downstairs cloakroom, that leads to an extended Sitting Room, with a part-vaulted ceiling, with bi-fold doors and striking views out over open fields. To the front of the building, which was the original bar for the pub, there is a refitted kitchen and dining room, with a central island, range-style cooker and a large fireplace with a log burner. The ground floor also offers a study, again to the front of the property, with stairs leading down from the kitchen to a Horsham stone-lined cellar. The first floor offers four double bedrooms, with a modern white bathroom suite, and far-reaching views from the main bedroom.

GARDEN & PARKING

The property sits on a sunny, secluded plot, with far-reaching views over open fields to both the front and rear. The front garden is elevated, with gated access to an area of lawn, with a mature flower bed, that leads to a sunny side garden, with a paved patio and mature flower and shrub borders that is an ideal spot for an outdoor sofa, or setting for a table and chairs. The garden wraps around the rear of the house, with a further patio set behind the sitting room, with the remainder of the garden laid to lawn, with mature trees, hedging and flower and shrub borders and post and rail fencing. A 5-bar gate opens to a rear driveway, with private parking and a detached garage, with double doors.
