House Horsham

A charming and unique 5 double bedroom, 3 reception room Victorian detached house which has been suggested was built for the head gardener of the Cyder House estate who created the nearby Leonardslee gardens and occupies a truly delightful plot of 0.50 acres with total seclusion.

This elegant home has been greatly improved by the sellers and provides a perfect environment for entertaining and family living and is being sold with the benefit of no onward chain.

The property is situated in this popular village within easy access of highly regarded schools, major transport links, breath-taking walks, and Horsham town centre.

The well-proportioned sitting room and formal dining room are both equipped with open fires and simply ideal for family get-togethers.

A kitchen/breakfast is fitted with an attractive range of units and leads into the useful boot/utility room with Belfast sink and access onto the patio.

A staircase from the kitchen/breakfast room rises to a guest bedroom which is also accessed off the 3rd bedroom of the main house.

The double aspect principal bedroom enjoys pleasant south/westerly views, fitted wardrobes and en suite shower room.

There are 2 further generous sized bedrooms with fitted storage and family bathroom.

The 4th bedroom leads into the final double sized bedroom. The 4th bedroom could be converted into a further en suite to this bedroom, if required and would make a perfect area for a relative or teenager.

A driveway provides parking for 4 vehicles, leading to the detached garage/workshop with power and heating. This lends itself for conversion into a gym or art studio.
