Bines Road, Partridge Green, Horsham, West Sussex

Bines Farm Cottage is an attractive Edwardian country house, built in 1910 and subsequently extended over time, resulting in a well-balanced family home that combines period character with thoughtfully improved, contemporary accommodation. Enjoying a semi-rural setting, the house sits within its own grounds without feeling isolated, with a pleasant sense of seclusion while remaining well connected. From the upper floors in particular, there are attractive outlooks across the surrounding countryside. The handsome red brick elevations are relieved by yellow brick dressings, with a striking double-fronted façade, pointed gables and decorative finials, and double glazed lattice-pane windows enhancing the architectural detail.

The house is approached via electrically operated gates opening to a generous, walled parking area, with an oak-framed porch marking a welcoming entrance. The front door opens to a split-level entrance hall with dark wood flooring and a deep coats cupboard, setting the tone for the well-presented interiors beyond.

The principal reception space is an elegant, dual-aspect sitting room with half-panelled walls, a limestone fireplace with raised hearth and fire basket, and French doors opening to the terrace. At the heart of the house lies an open-plan kitchen, dining room and snug, accessed via double doors from the hall, creating a sociable and highly functional living space. The snug, with fitted shelving, flows into the kitchen, which is fitted with a range of modern shaker-style cabinetry, granite worktops and a central island with quartz surface and breakfast bar. Integrated appliances include Bosch twin ovens, microwave, induction hob, wine fridge, full-height fridge and freezer, while bi-fold doors from the dining area open directly onto the terrace, linking inside and out.

Ancillary spaces are well considered, including a utility room, laundry room, cloakroom and a small conservatory/side porch.

A turned staircase rises to a split-level first-floor landing, opening into a study area with fitted desks and French doors to a Juliet balcony. There are three dual-aspect bedrooms on this floor, all with fitted wardrobes; one benefits from an en suite bathroom, while the others are served by a well-appointed wet room.

The second floor is dedicated to the principal suite, comprising a spacious bedroom, a dressing room with fitted storage, and a luxurious marble-tiled en suite bathroom with bath, twin basins and a wet-room style shower.

The house offers well-proportioned, light-filled accommodation throughout, carefully updated to provide practical modern living within a characterful period setting.

Outbuildings and Grounds
The property is further enhanced by a versatile range of outbuildings and well-arranged grounds extending to about 1.8 acres.

A five-bar gate from the main parking area leads to additional hardstanding and a converted garage building, now providing a ground floor cinema room with a games room above. Adjoining are a timber workshop and open garden store, with a further detached timber store beyond, offering excellent storage and flexibility. A contemporary detached garden office provides an ideal work-from-home space, complete with kitchenette and shower room.

The gardens are arranged to take full advantage of the setting, with a large paved terrace adjoining the southern elevation of the house, ideal for outdoor dining, leading onto an expanse of level lawn enclosed by mature trees. A further entertaining terrace incorporates a covered outdoor kitchen with sink, power and Gastrotek oven, together with a seating area beneath a gazebo. Beyond lies a raised swimming pool with surrounding decking and space for a hot tub, alongside a detached gym with sauna.

The grounds extend beyond to a tree-lined meadow area interspersed with mature trees, adding a natural and informal element to the garden.
