5 bedroom detached house for sale

Council tax band: F

An individual detached house occupying an elevated position, built some 55 years ago of traditional construction with brick and part tile-hung elevations under a pitched and tiled roof. The accommodation is light and spacious, arranged over three floors, and the majority of rooms enjoy spectacular country views. This is an ideal house for a family, with a hard tennis court and a detached games room, which could also be used as a home office. The property has been maintained to a high standard and has full double glazing and oil-fired central heating to radiators.

The Barton overlooks a country lane with open farmland beyond in a peaceful semi-rural setting. Maudlin Lane is a prime location on the south-west side of Steyning in the Parish of Bramber. The property is about three-quarters of a mile from Steyning High Street with shops for everyday needs, Post Office, schools for all ages, as well as various sporting and cultural and other recreational facilities, of which there are almost a hundred in Steyning. The small country town nestles at the foot of the South Downs National Park. Worthing and Brighton are eight and 12 miles respectively. Horsham is about 14 miles to the north and Crawley and Gatwick Airport can normally be reached in about 40 minutes. The nearest main line railway station is at Shoreham-by-Sea (five miles).
