4 bedroom detached house

Council tax band: G

A detached house set in delightful, established gardens adjoining farmland with wonderful south-westerly views to the ridge of the South Downs. The house was built in the mid-twentieth century of conventional construction with brick and part tile-hung elevations, attractive leaded light windows under a hipped and tiled roof. The house has been carefully maintained and enhanced by the present owners to include a bespoke fitted kitchen opening to a contemporary living space with bi-fold doors overlooking the delightful grounds. The house provides the rare opportunity of a semi-rural feel but with the convenience of the High Street three-quarters of a mile away and the secluded and well-stocked gardens are quite exceptional. There is oil-fired central heating to radiators.

The Spinney is accessed by a shared private drive on the approach road to Steyning High Street. Steyning is a small country town with shops for day-to-day needs, Post Office, etc. in a historic and picturesque street scene. There are many cultural and sporting facilities available in the town as well as primary and secondary schools, modern health centre, library and churches. The coastal towns of Worthing and Brighton are 8 and 12 miles distant; Horsham is about 14 miles and Crawley and Gatwick Airport can normally be reached in 40 minutes' drive. The nearest main line railway station is at Shoreham-by-Sea, 5 miles.
