Description Old Barkfold is an exceptional Grade II listed house, occupying an enviable position in the village of Plaistow, boasting glorious far-reaching views over the surrounding West Sussex countryside. Dating from the 17th century and formerly three cottages, the house was built in a traditional Sussex style and is constructed of timber, red brick and hanging tile facades, under a clay tile roof. The oldest part of the house is particularly attractive, with many original oak timbers, leaded windows and original open fireplaces that lend great character to the rooms. The property offers great flexibility of accommodation, with the six bedrooms, two dressing rooms and four bathrooms on the first floor accessed by two staircases. This allows the accommodation to be employed as one family house, as a whole, or to use some of the rooms off the second stair as a guest annexe or suite. Of particular note is the upstairs sitting room, which, along with the kitchen beneath, enjoys a fine outlook over surrounding farmland.
