***PROPERTY OPEN DAY - SATURDAY 11TH APRIL - BOOK BY APPOINTMENT ONLY ***

A beautifully presented and substantial executive home, ideally positioned in central Horsham, offering convenient access to the mainline train station, a selection of highly regarded local schools, and the nearby town centre. The property is also perfectly situated for enjoying the surrounding countryside, with excellent commuter links to London, Gatwick, and Brighton.

The reception hallway, featuring elegant herringbone parquet flooring, provides a welcoming introduction and opens into deceptively spacious and generously proportioned accommodation. Thoughtfully arranged over three floors, this home offers well-balanced living and bedroom space. Recently extended by the current owners to include a second floor, the property enjoys a light and airy feel throughout, complemented by a generous rear garden and a detached garden outbuilding suitable for a variety of uses.

The ground floor is centred around a stunning open-plan kitchen/living/dining space measuring approximately 31 feet, with bifold doors opening onto the garden terrace. The high-specification kitchen features shaker-style units, granite work surfaces, and a central preparation island that doubles as a sociable breakfast bar, alongside a range of integrated appliances is an Aga within a large extractor canopy.

Additional ground floor living space includes a formal sitting room complete with wood flooring and a dual aspect, creating a bright and inviting space. There is also a separate family room or children’s playroom, along with a utility room and cloakroom.

An impressive turning staircase leads to the first floor, where the principal bedroom enjoys views to the front, fitted wardrobes, and an en-suite shower room. There are three further bedrooms on this floor, as well as a well-appointed family bathroom featuring a walk-in shower, separate bath, WC, and wash hand basin. The staircase continues to the second floor, which offers two additional double bedrooms, both benefiting from elevated views.

The property is approached via a double access, providing driveway parking for several vehicles, along with an electric car charging point. The rear garden is a standout feature, offering a patio terrace ideal for outdoor dining during the warmer months. A separate outbuilding/coach house with bifold doors provides excellent versatility, suitable for use as a home gymnasium, garden studio, hobby space, games room, or potential annexe (subject to permissions). The garden continues with a well-maintained lawn, complemented by mature, well-stocked beds and borders. A further natural garden area creates a haven for wildflowers and wildlife.

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 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.
