A further benefit of this location is the number of excellent schools within easy reach such as North Heath, Holbrook, Forest, Millais and Bohunt. You are spoilt for choice for leisure activities as there is a leisure centre with swimming pool close to Horsham Park whilst the nearby Capitol has a cinema and theatre.

Property

The extended and spacious Detached Family Home offers generous and incredibly flexible accommodation, arranged across two floors, with a layout that works particularly well for a growing or multigenerational family. A particular feature of the Ground Floor layout is the impressive 22ft Sitting Room, a wonderfully bright triple-aspect space centred around a feature fireplace with wood-burning stove. There are several further reception spaces, including a separate Dining Room and Family Room, providing plenty of flexibility for everyday family life, entertaining or simply giving everyone their own space. The main Kitchen has plenty of character, and is fitted with traditional shaker-style units, that are complemented by quarry-tiled flooring and an Aga, while a door leads directly out to the mature Garden.

One of the real benefits of the house is the accommodation to one side of the Ground Floor, which is currently arranged to provide a self-contained Annexe. This incorporates its own Kitchen, Bedroom and Bathroom, with the adjoining reception space creating a comfortable and independent living area. It is an excellent arrangement for an elderly relative, grown-up children or visiting guests, while equally offering potential for those looking for a more independent work or income-generating space. To the First Floor you will find a modern Family Shower Room an four well-proportioned Double Bedrooms, including an impressive 19ft Principal Bedroom, with fitted Wardrobes.

Outside

The property is set back from the road, with driveway parking to both sides of the house. One of these driveways leads to the 21'1 x 15'8 Detached Double Garage, which has an up and over door, and a further courtesy door that opens into the Garden. The walled Front Garden benefits from mature planting for privacy, has a path leading to the Front Door and has gated access on both sides of the house that open into generous Rear Garden. This is mainly laid to lawn, with deep mature borders that offer a good deal of privacy. This generous space would be the ideal space for the children to play, or for a keen gardener to make the most of.

Planning permission

A particularly exciting feature of the property is the planning permission that is already granted for the erection of a separate Three Bedroom Detached Home, positioned on the site of the existing Double Garage. The approved scheme has been thoughtfully designed to create a striking contemporary home, with its own private access, off-street parking and garden, allowing it to remain distinct from the existing house while sitting comfortably within the overall setting.

This presents a fantastic opportunity for a buyer looking to develop and sell the new property, create a separate home for extended family, or simply benefit from the considerable future potential that the approved planning permission provides. Full planning permission has been granted by Horsham District Council under planning reference DC/25/1634, with approved plans and further supporting information available on request.
