Property description
PROPERTY SUMMARY An impressive individually designed and built family home, which offers over 2454 sq.ft. of living accommodation with an open plan ground floor layout. 'Walnut Cottage' has a very airy and light feel with the rooms flowing well together, providing private spaces for all the family. At the rear there are views towards fields and woodland beyond. The approach, of the semi-rural road is via a remote controlled, gated driveway providing ample off road car parking facilities and access to the detached garage. The accommodation is arranged over two floors and comprises; hallway, 'L' shaped drawing room, family room, home office, sun lounge / conservatory, kitchen, utility room and cloakroom on the ground floor with three / four bedrooms (master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and dressing room bedroom 4) and a shower room on the first floor. Located to the north of the village, between Horndean and Catherington, you have the best of both worlds with rural views and yet within approximately 1/2 mile of the village centre. Being set back from the road, enclosed by a gated entrance, viewing of the deceptively spacious home is strongly recommended.
