4 bed terraced house for sale

Church Street, Steyning BN44

Council tax band: E

The house has a mellow brick front elevation with sash-hung windows under a roof which is covered in Horsham stone to the front, and tile and slate to the back slope. The origin of the building is considerably older than its Georgian front and was once one building with number 4. It is probably of 17th Century origin or earlier and belonged to the Duke of Norfolk at one time. There are charming features including some exposed ceiling joists, a fine brick chimney corner with bread oven in situ, cottage door furniture and small-pane windows. The house is immaculately presented and there is a secluded garden to the rear.

Church Street is in the very centre of Steyning close to shops and Post Office, the Steyning Centre, library, parish church and a whole range of other local amenities. The road contains some of the most attractive small-scale domestic architecture in the county and the house is opposite the former grammar school, which is a mid-15th Century building. It is all within the Conservation Area. Shoreham-by-Sea is about five and a half miles (mainline railway station) and Brighton 11. Horsham 15 miles and Gatwick 20 miles (normally about 40 minutes' drive). Central London is 50 miles.
