Attractive and very well presented family home in a delightful semi-rural location.
Description
Situated in a rural country lane on the eastern outskirts of the village of Cowfold, Barnfield Lodge is an attractive family home believed to date from the turn of the century. The house has been the subject of various additions and is beautifully presented throughout, the large kitchen and dining room being of particular note: a wonderful open plan space, ideal for modern family living. The house is complemented by mature gardens and grounds, a detached pool house annexe and a large barn, which is currently used as garaging and storage but has good potential for conversion (subject to the necessary consents).
The floor plans give an excellent overview of the full extent of the accommodation, which extends in the main house to over 3,300 square feet. The generous dual aspect sitting room features a large fireplace set with a Stuv woodburner; adjoining the sitting room is a playroom with range of fitted cupboards and bookshelving and beyond here, a study. The kitchen and dining room is a fantastic space, fitted with an extensive range of units and a central island, with black granite worktops, an electric Aga and a number of integrated appliances. The kitchen is served by the adjoining utility room; a cloakroom and a south-facing conservatory (currently used as a gym) complete the ground floor.
There are four generous bedrooms lying off the galleried first floor landing, including a wonderful principle suite, comprising a dual aspect bedroom, walk-in wardrobe and a large bathroom with bath and separate shower. The guest bedroom also benefits from an en suite bathroom; bedrooms three and four share the family bathroom and a separate WC.
Outside
Barnfield Lodge is approached from the lane via electronically-operated iron gates which open to a gravelled parking and turning area between the house and garaging. There is secondary access further north up the lane, opening to an area of hardstanding, providing separate parking for the annexe.
Wide steps lead down from the main driveway to the house, opposite which is the detached barn-style garaging, comprising three parking bays with electric roller doors, a garden store, workshop and an extensive store room over.
The garden lies largely to the front of the house and to the north of the garaging, well enclosed by mature trees giving a good degree of privacy. A pathway leads around the garaging to the secluded swimming pool terrace, adjacent to which is the single storey pool house annexe; beyond here is an expanse of level lawn which extends away to the north and to the recently refurbished tennis court in the north eastern corner of the grounds. The beautiful tree-lined pond lies to the east and is partly enclosed by picket fencing.
In all about 1.81 acres.
