House For Sale £1,195,000
***open house Saturday 28th January 9.30AM to 12PM*** By Appointment only.
A beautiful grade II listed of immense charm and character in an extremely sought after part of West Sussex. With gated gardens of circa one acre enveloping the main house this chain-free home is in our opinion a must-see for anyone seeking a rural retreat yet moments from civilization.
Believed to date back to the 15th Century, offers substantial accommodation replete of many original period features including but not limited to exposed beams, fireplaces, stone floors, and wooden latched doors. The property offers well-appointed accommodation having undergone extensions in keeping with the period charm and character of the rest of the house but has the possibility of a self-contained annexe with a second entrance already there.
Pillared entrance gates opening to the tree-lined gravel driveway leads you past the substantial front gardens toward the house, to a parking area with a large brick-built garage with an attached carport. As you open the wooden front door and step over the threshold you are welcomed into the entrance hall with flagstone flooring, doors to the principal ground floor rooms, and stairs rising to the first floor.
The reception room is one of the oldest parts of the original house with an impressive inglenook fireplace with the date of 1556 carved into the oak beam, with fitted benches to either side. French doors open to the terrace and gardens beyond. The dining room is accessed through the dining room room and again features a further inglenook fireplace with a wood burner.
A second staircase in this room leads to the first-floor landing. The spacious Kitchen/breakfast room with its comprehensive range of cream shaker style base and eye level units and butler sink also affords space for numerous appliances and has quarry tiled flooring. From the breakfast area, you can enjoy a remarkable outlook onto the terrace, gardens, and rolling countryside. From the entrance, hall doors lead to a downstairs cloakroom, a study with parquet herringbone flooring, and views over the gardens and countryside. The utility room has flagstone flooring, a range of cupboards, and space for appliances.
The first floor can be reached by two staircases to two landings with quaint doors to five bedrooms. The impressive master bedroom has a raised vaulted ceiling with a wealth of exposed beams and an open fireplace. Across the landing is a family bathroom and a fifth bedroom which could also lend its use as a dressing room space to create a master suite. The guest suite of bedroom two has a fitted wardrobe and an en-suite bathroom. A dressing area is across the landing and has a door to the fourth bedroom. The fourth bedroom has an inter-connecting door to bedroom three benefitting from an en-suite shower room. Bedroom three may also be reached by a door from the second landing.
Generous gardens surround the house with a mixture of lawn areas bordered with a variety of plants shrubs and mature trees. There is a pond with a wooden bridge over a water feature. The rear terrace and lawn area have far reaching views of the surrounding countryside. On the South Eastern side is the stable yard with a timber framed block consisting of two stable boxes, a feed room with power, and light and concrete flooring.
To the rear is a storage area, dog kennel, garage, and workshop. Attached to the garage is a lean-to-open-fronted garage area that houses the oil tank. A gravel driveway sweeps down to electric wrought iron gates with an intercom entry system.
The property lies in the village of Ashurst, with a local pub, The Fountain, and a very popular primary school and church. Partridge Green lies 1.5 miles North with a selection of local shops and a post office. The historic village of Steyning offers a more extensive range of shops, trades, and services centered around its traditional High Street which is approximately 3.5 away. Access to the A24, North of Partridge Green is within 4 miles and provides dual carriageway connections to Horsham which offers a large range of shops and services as well as a mainline railway station to London Victoria. The A24 then connects to the other major centers including Crawley and Gatwick airport. The surrounding area provides walks along many local footpaths and the River Adur across Henfield.
