Description

It is very rare to have the chance of owning a THATCHED COTTAGE in this area, but it is even rarer to find one with such a LARGE SUNNY GARDEN, ANNEX and lovely views. Many people yearn to live in the countryside, but still want good access to shops, schools and link roads. If that rings true with you, then maybe this is the perfect match! The hamlet of Warninglid is around 2 miles west, Staplefield with its lovely village community and 2 country pubs overlooking the village cricket pitch lies 1 mile along the lane and 4 miles east leading then on to Haywards Heath and its London to Brighton mainline train station. The popular, mostly pedestrianised, market town of Horsham is about 7 miles to the west and also has a mainline train station to London and the coast. Its fantastic location provides diverse access to various schools. Thatched Cottage was built in the 1930s by W.G.Tarrant. He is best known as a Surrey master builder, and the developer of St Georges Hill and the Wentworth Estate in Surrey along with many more excellent high quality homes in Brooklands, Woking and Virginia Waters. Everything about the cottage shouts quality and innovation, from the solid Oak front door which opens onto a slate floor, to the beautiful staircase with its recessed bay window overlooking the front garden or the inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove in the living room. Even the dining room has its own feature with the almost full height window framing the landscaped rear gardens. In addition to these, downstairs are a cloakroom and the kitchen, with plenty of space for a table and then a further door through to the rear lobby which gives dual access to the garden as well serving as a utility room or kitchen area for the annex which extends to the rear with a further shower/cloakroom. Upstairs the master bedroom has built in wardrobes and an en suite modern re-fitted bathroom. The further 2 bedrooms are both good doubles with built in wardrobes and views to the garden, and the family bathroom is to the front. Beyond the obvious quality of the cottage, and without question, the 0.7 acres of slightly tiered landscaped gardens are a major draw of this home. Simply gorgeous, with the majority being lawned and planted with flower beds, bushes and trees, the garden shows off to its fullest. It is very private with mature firs and hedging around the property and an enclosed vegetable plot with greenhouse and composter are hidden to the top corner. A large paved patio is to the rear of the cottage and a private little courtyard area to the side leading to the double detached garage.
