Property description

A substantial and individual residence set in just over 6.5 acres of ground, and located on the outskirts of Billingshurst in the wonderful semi rural location of Marringdean Road. The property is approached by a large sweeping drive with ample parking beside the house and garaging. The property's extensive accommodation is well positioned within its plot giving an excellent outlook over a large terrace and formal grounds towards a floodlit tennis court. The accommodation is finished to an exacting standard enhanced by a superb 'Christians' bespoke kitchen and full indoor swimming pool complex. The substantial family home is enhanced by an annexe/cottage that in itself forms a very fine home with all internal fitments having just been installed. This is completely self contained and could provide income or alternatively fully utilised as further accommodation to the main house. Situated to the rear of the formal garden and also being approached by a separate drive is a large paddock and field amounting to approximately 4.5 acres with stable block and tack room and quality greenhouse with vegetable garden beyond.



Situation

Billingshurst is a large thriving village located in the heart of The Weald. The village centre offers a good range of shops, as well as banking facilities, library, doctors' surgery, churches, public houses and bus services etc. Further shopping facilities can be found in Horsham (seven miles) and the main centres of Crawley, Guildford, Chichester, Worthing and Brighton are all within easy reach. Billingshurst has schooling for all ages, including The Weald Community School which offers a sixth form centre, adult education centre, fitness suite and sporting facilities, and there are many other clubs and societies offering recreational and leisure facilities, with most interests catered for. The mainline station offers a fast and frequent service into London (Victoria/London Bridge about 65 minutes) and there are excellent road links with both the M23 and M25.
