5 bedroom house for sale

Overview

This distinctive property was converted from an erstwhile stables and coach house into a charming family home, seamlessly blending historic charm with modern comfort. The property has a flexible, L-shaped layout, offering contemporary living for a variety of family configurations, and offers gated parking, double garage, garden store and a generous, verdant garden with large greenhouse. On the ground floor are two spacious reception rooms, both of which lead off the inviting and sociable kitchen-dining room, which is the hub of the home and ideal for family meals, relaxing and entertaining. There is also a very spacious utility room which opens directly out onto the pretty courtyard garden via a charming stable door. The house offers some good work from home options with a dedicated office and adjacent WC, as well as a self-contained annexe, accessible via its own entrance, making it perfect for a home workshop, studio, or accommodating teenagers or visiting relatives. It again features an, ostensibly original, stable door leading directly onto the courtyard garden. Up on the first floor there are four well-appointed bedrooms (including the one within the annexe). The principal bedroom suite is a highlight; a luxurious retreat, featuring a glass-fronted balcony overlooking the garden, a superb en-suite bathroom with dual sinks, bath and separate shower, as well as an adjacent dressing room. Servicing the remaining bedrooms, the family bathroom ensures convenience and comfort for all the family.OutsideA double garage with an attached store provides ample space for vehicles and storage, whilst the generous greenhouse, measuring just under 30 by 12 feet, is perfect for gardening enthusiasts. The garden itself feels expansive and secluded and extends from the rear of the house, across an ample paved terrace with a charming fish-pond, down some steps to a wide lawn bordered by mature trees and shrubs. One side of the house features a paved driveway leading to the garaging, whilst on the other side is the delightful, block paved courtyard garden overlooked by the reception rooms and annexe, providing a tranquil outdoor retreat.SituationThe property is located about 1 mile to the west of the village of Cowfold which offers a post office, general store, a public house, village hall, medical centre, Indian restaurant, St Peters Primary School and a 13th Century Church.
