Full description

This impressive five-bedroom detached period home, believed to date from the late 1800s, presents a rare opportunity to acquire a spacious and characterful family residence in the sought-after semi-rural setting of Lower Beeding, approximately four miles from Horsham town centre.

Rich in period charm, the house retains a wealth of original features, including beautiful sash windows and striking feature working fireplaces in the sitting room and family room, as well as several fireplaces in the bedrooms. A generous entrance hallway provides a welcoming first impression and leads to the well-proportioned accommodation, which is ideally suited to modern family life while retaining the elegance and character of a period home.

The ground floor provides excellent entertaining and family space, comprising two generous reception rooms, a well-appointed kitchen with adjoining breakfast room, and a separate dining room. A useful utility room and boot room add valuable practicality, while a ground floor cloakroom provides further convenience.

Upstairs, there are five bedrooms arranged over the first floor, with one of the bedrooms benefiting from its own en-suite shower room. Bedroom five is accessed through bedroom four, offering particularly versatile accommodation that could be used as a nursery, dressing room, study or additional private space, depending on the needs of the next owner.

Outside, the house is complemented by a beautiful mature rear garden, offering a peaceful and secluded setting with established trees, shrubs and well-maintained lawns. There is ample space for outdoor entertaining, relaxation and family activities, while the mature planting provides an attractive backdrop and a wonderful sense of privacy.

A superb outdoor entertaining area includes an outdoor kitchen and bar, together with a BBQ area and generous paved seating patio, creating the perfect setting for al fresco dining, entertaining guests and enjoying the garden throughout the warmer months. The patio provides plenty of space for outdoor furniture and dining, while the surrounding mature planting creates a relaxed and private atmosphere.

A separate garden studio/office provides an ideal space for home working, hobbies or creative pursuits. The property also benefits from a garage and workshop, offering excellent storage and practical workspace, together with a generous driveway providing ample off-road parking for several vehicles and guests.

Why live in Horsham?

Horsham strikes the perfect balance with its community facilities and green spaces. There’s a market square at The Carfax complete with traditional bandstand, an abundance of shops, a cinema, theatre, leisure centre and a 60-acre park right in the centre of town.

We have an impressive mix of older properties, including historic buildings from the 1400s and 1500s with later additions from the Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian eras and some stunning artistic properties. Head out along The Causeway and you’ll see every style, from 15th century homes to new builds, on one superb road.

Horsham has many great schools, both state and private, junior and senior. Millais, Tanbridge House, Farlington, Windlesham House, St Marys, Bohunt and Heron Way all have excellent Ofsted ratings and have received equally positive reviews from pupils and parents. There’s a good range of shopping here too, including high street favourites and independent stores and coffee shops. You’ll also find a huge selection of eateries, bars, cafés and pubs in the town and a particularly high density of restaurants along East Street that has given rise to its nickname, ‘Eat Street’.

We have a great tradition of sports in Horsham and, more importantly, of supporting our local teams. Our town is the proud host of Sussex Cricket Club, which frequently plays on the Horsham Cricket Club grounds while the local cricket, football and rugby teams also attract great crowds on match days. If you like walking in beautiful countryside you’ll be spoilt for choice in Horsham while the Southwater Country Park has a Dinosaur Island play area for young families and kayaking and canoeing facilities for older children. The Pavilions in the Park leisure centre has indoor and outdoor heated pools and an aerial adventure course with ropes and a climbing wall. For more cultural pursuits, the Capitol Theatre and Cinema on North Street has a busy calendar of both theatrical productions and the latest movies.
