5 bed detached house for sale

3 Tannery Close, Slinfold, Horsham, West Sussex RH13

A handsome five bedroom family home part of the former grounds of the large property that made way for these six imposing detached homes built in 1987 by the then highly prestigious house builder, Charles Church. The properties have become some of the most sought after in this thriving and picturesque village, and No. 3 "Brooklands" has to be the pick of the bunch. Occupying the largest plot within this small private cul-de-sac, Brooklands enjoys an enviable corner position with panoramic South and Easterly aspects, backing onto the beautiful Sussex countryside that surrounds the grounds. The already generous accommodation has been enlarged, modernised and improved throughout the subsequent ownerships, and presents today as a magnificent home of nearly 3000sq.ft. The beautifully presented accommodation includes a Charles York bespoke kitchen which is open to an Amdega bespoke timber orangery, and which enjoys unspoiled views of the gardens and countryside beyond. There is a highly convenient and well appointed utility room, a large triple aspect sitting room, a formal dining room, a study with views of the rear gardens, a cloakroom, and a double integral garage which makes up the ground floor. On the first floor the principal suite spans the depth of the house with Neville Johnson bespoke fitted furniture and a luxury ensuite shower and bathroom. There are four additional double bedrooms, and a modern family bathroom suite. Outside, the gardens stretch to almost an acre, with two defined areas, the easterly gardens and the southerly gardens. The easterly garden to the rear of the house has been beautifully landscaped and is lightly tiered with paved seating areas, established specimen planting and a bridge over a small brook that meanders across the grounds. The gardens to the south are what remains of the original orchard that occupied this land and are mainly laid to lawn with the remaining fruit tree's, a timber workshop, a timber shed, and a lightly wooded copse to the eastern border. The garden affords the potential for future development, subject to the usual consents. Heating and hot water are provided by a modern Vaillant lpg boiler, and the lpg tank is partly enclosed with a screening fence in the garden.
