4 bed detached house for sale

Holm Oaks, Cowfold, West Sussex RH13

A beautifully presented 3/4 bedroom detached family home, occupying an unusually large plot at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in this popular village location. Offered to the market for the first time since being built in 1997, the property has been greatly improved by the current owners and now offers well-proportioned and versatile accommodation, comprising a sitting room opening to a dining room, fitted kitchen, downstairs cloakroom and an impressive additional reception room/bedroom four, formerly the garage, with vaulted ceiling, attractive bay window and bi-folding doors opening onto the garden. On the first floor there is a large principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes and luxury ensuite shower room, a further double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, a particularly bright dual aspect third bedroom and well-appointed family bathroom. Bought off-plan, the current owners immediately recognised the unusually generous plot, with the property now benefiting from a wrap-around garden which is completely secluded and enjoys a sunny southerly aspect. There is also driveway parking for at least three cars. The house is offered to the market in excellent condition throughout and with no onward chain, providing a rare opportunity to acquire a genuine 'turn-key' family home requiring little or nothing from its next owners. Adding further potential, planning permission was previously granted for a substantial two-storey side and rear extension, which has now lapsed but could, subject to the necessary consents, be reapplied for. Such an extension would significantly increase the size of the accommodation and further enhance what is already an unusually generous plot. With this in mind, the current owners also replaced the boiler with a larger-capacity model capable of meeting the demands of an extended property, providing a useful head start for any future works. Details of the previous planning application can be found on the Horsham District Council planning website under reference cf/28/03.

Location: The small village of Cowfold lies approximately seven miles to the south-east of Horsham and has a surprising array of amenities including a Co-op convenience store with post office, doctors' surgery, pub, beautiful church, a highly regarded county primary school, Indian restaurant, hairdressers, sports clubs and playing fields and regular bus services to Horsham and Brighton. The location has proved popular over the years because of its excellent road links to Gatwick/London via the A272 and on to the A23/M23. The village appeals to a wide demographic with young families to retirees, who organise regular events and activities that are well attended and add to the very friendly community atmosphere.
