4 bedroom terraced house

Council tax band: D

A fascinating terraced house built by a well-known Steyning builder, Frank Duke Ltd, in the early years of the 20th Century and today providing charming, yet surprisingly spacious, accommodation with unique features. The house has been thoughtfully remodelled by the present owners with extraordinary attention to detail to create a warm and welcoming cottage feel with a contemporary twist. The light and airy family/kitchen space is the heart of the house and the combination of the clever use of re-claimed timber, panelled walls, traditional radiators and muted colours completes the picture.

Externally, elevations are attractive mellow brick with sash windows under a pitched and slated roof and the house has been extended into the roof void to create two additional bedrooms and at this level there are fine views of the town roof tops and the Downland skyline. Inspection is essential to appreciate this lovely home; a perfect blend of character and charm yet with an eye to modern comforts and practical living with excellent storage, double glazing and gas fired central heating. In addition, there is an insulated detached studio providing an ideal space for working from home in this pleasant residential environment.

Mill Road is an attractive street scene of character homes and runs roughly parallel to the northern part of Steyning High Street, from which it is approached via Sir Georges Place. Paths lead to the town's main shopping street and other facilities include primary and secondary schooling, modern health centre, leisure centre with swimming pool and local tennis courts. Local footpaths provide access to the South Downs National Park and lovely walking country.

The coast at Shoreham-by-Sea is about five miles (also superstores and main line railway station), and the larger coastal towns of Worthing and Brighton are eight and twelve miles respectively. Horsham, Crawley and Gatwick Airport can normally be reached in about 40 minutes by car.
