5 bed link detached house for sale

Causeway, Horsham, West Sussex. RH12

Price range £2.35m to £2.4m Minstrels is one of Horsham’s most historic and iconic homes, discreetly positioned along the picturesque Causeway in the town. Dating in part to circa 1390 and Grade II Listed, the property originated as a medieval hall house with cross wings, its significance reflected in a wealth of preserved architectural features including carved crown posts, exposed timbers, and an original Tudor stone fireplace.

Over the past three years, the house has undergone a comprehensive and sympathetic programme of restoration, seamlessly blending its historic fabric with modern design and functionality. The result is an elegant home extending to approximately 4,400 sq ft, offering light-filled and versatile accommodation across two floors.

The ground floor is centred around an impressive reception hall with parquet flooring and panelling, leading to a series of well-proportioned living spaces. These include a generous dual-aspect drawing room with an inglenook fireplace and French doors opening onto the garden terrace, a formal music room, and a comfortable study/snug with wood-burning stove.

The heart of the home is a striking 40ft vaulted kitchen and dining room, featuring bespoke cabinetry, a central island, and integrated premium appliances. Full-height glazing and doors on two aspects provide excellent natural light and direct access to the garden, creating an ideal space for both everyday living and entertaining.

The first floor offers five generous bedrooms, all of which have stunning en-suites, all finished to a high specification with quality fittings and contemporary styling. A separate staircase leads to the principal suite, which benefits from a dressing area and a private shower room, providing a peaceful and secluded retreat.

Externally, the property is approached via a paved forecourt enclosed by low walling and mature planting, with access to a tandem garage. The rear garden is a particular feature, being fully enclosed and thoughtfully landscaped with level lawn, well-stocked borders, a pond, and multiple eating areas, ideal for outdoor entertaining.

Situated in the very centre of Horsham, the property is within easy walking distance of a comprehensive range of amenities, including shops, restaurants, leisure facilities, and the mainline station, which provides direct services to London and Gatwick Airport. The area is also well served by highly regarded state and independent schools, along with a variety of recreational and sporting facilities.

Minstrels represents a rare opportunity to acquire a property of outstanding historic importance, thoughtfully updated to meet the demands of modern family life while retaining its unique architectural heritage.
