5 bedroom house for sale

Set back from the road behind a wide, sweeping driveway, The Oaks is a delightful detached property with excellent proportions and abundant natural daylight, in a rural position just 4 miles from central Horsham. It has a charming, period frontage, with superb views over the surrounding countryside, ample parking, a triple car barn (with two spaces used as workshop/storage), as well as outbuildings including the granary, the old piggery, a tree house, wood store and field shelter.

Internally the house is well presented, with generous proportions and an adaptable layout, with additional scope to extend if required. The fabric of the building has been well maintained, with the electrics having been upgraded when the house was extended in the mid-90s complemented by recent recarpeting and redecoration. There is a wide, welcoming entrance hallway, to one side of which is the front-to-back living room, with its striking inglenook fireplace. To the other side is the dining room and family room beyond, whilst at the rear is a guest WC and adjacent utility with access out to the garden. The generous, kitchen-breakfast room which also opens into the family room, making the most of the garden views, has double doors out and switches back to the dining room in a sociable U-shape.

Upstairs the bedrooms are bright and well-sized, with a family bathroom with bath and separate shower cubicle. There is scope, if desired, to add a second bathroom by converting the smallest bedroom into an en-suite bathroom to create a principal bedroom “suite”. All the upstairs rooms have far-reaching views across the fields and tree-lined hedgerows, giving a true sense of being in the heart of the countryside, yet with the town easily reachable.
