A delightful and spacious Grade II Listed farmhouse on the edge of the town with three small holiday cottages and pretty gardens

An attractive and spacious Grade II listed farmhouse, probably of 17th Century origin with later additions. Elevations are mostly coursed cobble flint and brick with roof covered in Horsham stone and mellow clay tiles. The house has been carefully maintained and enhanced by the present owners. There is exposed internal timbering and period joinery providing a warm atmosphere in this delightful country home. The house is set in about half an acre with double garaging and ample parking. In addition there is a terrace of three self-contained holiday homes providing a valuable income stream.

A gated driveway leads to a stone chip parking area contained by the main house and located opposite the holiday units, double garage and adjoining outbuilding. The house is slightly elevated, approached by stone steps and the pretty garden includes areas of lawn and well-established trees and plants. The oak front door opens to the charming hall with quarry-tiled flooring, panelled wainscoting and, as in the majority of rooms, there is exposed timbering. The cloakroom has a modern suite and there is a laundry room opposite. The charming sitting room has an impressive Inglenook fireplace with fitted wood-burning stove and oak board flooring and at the eastern end of the hall is an L-shaped family room with French doors to a secluded terrace. The traditional-style kitchen has bespoke cupboards, a deep butler sink and stable door to the garden with boiler room adjoining. The kitchen is open to the welcoming dining room with pine floorboards. The study is t-shaped with quarry-tiled flooring. A cottage-style staircase leads to a heavily-timbered landing with four double bedrooms, two modern en-suite shower rooms and a large family bathroom. The gardens are well planted and adjoining the double garage is a spacious implement store.

In a peaceful semi-rural setting on the eastern edge of the town with direct access to open country.
