House For Sale £1,500,000
Situated within the charming village of Shoreham is this Grade ii-listed family home dating back to the early 15th century, with later additions. The former rectory of St. Julian’s Church is an attractive property which has flint elevations under a roof of Horsham slabs, and internally offers much period character. Features include handsome wall panelling, a striking stone fireplace now inset with wood burning stove, exposed timbers and a variety of transom, mullioned and casement windows. A great deal of care and attention to detail has been taken during its extensive improvements, with the interiors presented in an excellent decorative order in a style befitting the age and character of the home. The most notable addition is certainly the garden room extension to the rear, which has a fabulous vaulted ceiling with exposed trusses and oak-framed glazed bifold doors opening to the garden.
The property has a fabulous outlook over the playing fields of Shoreham college and sits in a deceptively spacious plot, with the floor plan extending to a substantial 3368 square feet. To the ground floor, there are two generous reception spaces in the original part of the house, including a sitting room and dining room, a stylish kitchen/breakfast room, a cloakroom and a utility area. This leads through to the modern addition which comprises a fitted study, shower room, cinema/fifth bedroom room and large vaulted reception room with bi folds that open to the glorious garden framing the stunning outlook of the church. Such is the layout in this new addition that if would very easily work as a self contained flat being very separate to the main reception rooms in the original part of the house.
On the first floor there is a main bedroom with en suite shower room, three further good size bedrooms and a family bathroom.
