Plaistow, Billingshurst, RH14

Full description

Occupying a peaceful semi-rural position just off Dungate Road, on the edge of the highly regarded village of Plaistow, Old Hill House is an attractive and beautifully presented four-bedroom detached home, combining period character with well-considered modern enhancements.

The property has been thoughtfully improved by the current owners, most notably with the creation of an impressive open-plan kitchen/dining room. This contemporary space forms the heart of the home, featuring extensive cabinetry, generous preparation areas and wide sliding doors opening directly onto the garden, perfect for both relaxed family living and entertaining.

The ground floor offers a superb balance of charm and versatility. A welcoming sitting room is rich in character, showcasing exposed beams and a striking inglenook fireplace with log burner, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. A separate snug/family room provides additional flexibility, ideal as a playroom, study or second reception space, while a practical utility/boot room and cloakroom complete the accommodation.

Upstairs, the sense of character continues, with exposed beams featuring on the landing and within several of the bedrooms. There are four well-proportioned double bedrooms, including a principal suite with en-suite shower room. The second and fourth bedrooms both benefit from attractive painted beams, adding further personality, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.

Externally, the property enjoys beautifully maintained gardens, with a paved terrace leading onto a level lawn framed by mature borders, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. A detached home office provides an excellent solution for remote working or creative use.

To the front, electric gates open onto a generous in-and-out driveway, offering ample parking and access to the double garage.

Old Hill House enjoys the best of both worlds, surrounded by attractive countryside yet within easy reach of Plaistow’s village amenities, as well as the wider facilities in nearby Cranleigh and Haslemere, including mainline rail services to London Waterloo.
