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.
