Strood Lane, Warnham RH12

An exceptional executive residence set within approximately 0.6 of an acre, enjoying a peaceful semi-rural setting on the fringes of Warnham village. Backing directly onto open countryside, the property offers a rare combination of privacy, space and accessibility, with Horsham town centre, highly regarded schools and direct commuter routes to London, Gatwick and Brighton all within easy reach.

Extending to approximately 2,954 sq ft, this impressive home delivers beautifully balanced accommodation across two floors, thoughtfully arranged for modern family living and entertaining. The property is offered with vacant possession and no onward chain.

A generous reception hall sets an immediate tone of space and light, leading through to a striking 19’ x 19’ family room. With double doors opening onto the rear terrace and this superb room is bathed in natural light and enjoys uninterrupted views across the adjoining countryside - an ideal setting for both relaxed family time and entertaining guests.

The formal living room provides a more intimate retreat, centred around an exposed brick fireplace with inset log burner, creating warmth and character with French windows on to a west facing terrace. A separate dining room offers an elegant space for formal occasions, while the well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room overlooks the gardens and serves as the heart of the home. Practical additions include a walk-through boot room, utility room and a dedicated study, perfectly suited to today’s work-from-home requirements.

The turning staircase rises to a spacious first-floor landing, leading to a luxurious principal suite occupying its own private wing. Dual aspect windows frame delightful garden and countryside views, while a comprehensive range of fitted wardrobes and a well-appointed en suite bathroom - complete with walk-in shower, separate bath, WC and wash basin - provide both comfort and convenience.

A guest bedroom suite with its own en suite bathroom is positioned at the opposite end of the house, ensuring excellent privacy for visitors. Two further generous double bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom complete the first-floor accommodation.

The approach is suitably impressive, via electrically operated gates opening onto a sweeping gravel driveway with ample parking for multiple vehicles. The double garage, with up-and-over doors and integral access, offers substantial loft space above and presents exciting potential for conversion. Permission has been granted for conversion of garage loft to form habitable space with addition of 2 x dormer windows to the front elevation and 3 x rooflights to the rear.
