Description

A beautifully converted four/five-bedroom barn occupying a lovely semi-rural position, approached via its own private drive and enjoying far-reaching south-westerly views across the surrounding countryside. Expertly combining period character with modern comforts, this exceptional home showcases artisan craftsmanship throughout, with exposed ceiling timbers, sycamore-braced studded doors, and a wealth of charming architectural features.

The versatile accommodation is centred around a magnificent vaulted reception room, a particularly impressive space featuring exposed timber trusses, a double aspect that floods the room with natural light, and a wood-burning stove creating a superb focal point. The farmhouse-style kitchen complements the character of the property, while underfloor heating throughout the ground floor ensures year-round comfort.

The welcoming entrance hall immediately sets the tone, with its partly vaulted ceiling, heritage skylight, attractive stone flooring, and excellent sense of space. A useful utility room houses the boiler and continues the stone flooring, whilst the cloakroom is fitted with a W.C. and wall-mounted wash hand basin.

The three main bedrooms are all generously proportioned, with Bedroom 4 offering excellent flexibility as either a bedroom or study. The principal bedroom enjoys a stunning rear outlook across the gardens and open countryside, together with built-in wardrobes and an en suite bathroom featuring a bath, WC, partly vaulted ceiling, and heritage skylight. Bedroom two also enjoys delightful views across the gardens, while bedroom three offers far-reaching rural vistas and an en suite shower room.

A further standout feature is the detached annexe with en suite bedroom, providing superb versatility as a home office, guest accommodation, artist's studio, or hobby room.

The gardens are a particular highlight of the property, with mature planting and a wonderful variety of features creating a peaceful and private setting. The mature garden includes many specimen trees such as a rare yellow magnolia and a pink wisteria. To the side of the property is a highly productive organic vegetable garden leading through to a greenhouse. The main rear garden incorporates a beautiful enclosed walled garden with over a dozen David Austin roses. Behind, there is a picturesque duck pond with summer wildlife including dragonflies and visiting kingfishers. Offering excellent storage and workspace is a large workshop next to the pond.

A raised deck terrace provides the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining or simply relaxing whilst taking in the spectacular countryside views. Surrounded by mature planting, the gardens create a peaceful haven for both wildlife and those seeking the tranquillity of country living.

Occupying an enviable semi-rural setting, this exceptional home offers outstanding privacy and the very best of country living, whilst remaining within convenient reach of Horsham, good transport links, and a popular local country pub.
