5 bed detached house for sale

Strood Green, Wisborough Green RH14

A delightful Grade II listed farmhouse dating from the 17th century and with later additions. The house has great charm and character and in recent years has, together with the associated outbuildings and grounds, undergone a series of considered enhancements to create a home with exceptional family accommodation and entertaining space. Modern upgrades include updated plumbing and electrics, and high-speed networking to key areas.
Inside, the flagstone entrance hall leads to a cosy family room with wood-burner, a very well-proportioned sitting room with an inglenook fireplace, and the bespoke fitted kitchen with a dual fuel Aga. The kitchen adjoins the orangery which features a glass covered working well. Bi-fold doors open directly onto the courtyard garden formed with the pool house.
The detached pool house is a striking oak-framed building, equally well-suited to family leisure and large-scale entertaining. As well as the heated swimming pool, there's a bar, spiral wine cellar, separate jacuzzi spa, and shower room.
Upstairs in the main house the main bedroom suite overlooks the garden, has built-in wardrobes and an ensuite bathroom with underfloor heating. There are four further bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes, and there is a family bathroom.
Across the drive there is a detached two-storey cottage with some private garden space; a great asset for guests, extended family, or for holiday or long-term let. Beyond this, further space is provided by a recently built home office and games room which is air-conditioned, sound-proofed and wired with CAT6 cabling.

Outside

The property is approached through secure electric gates to a wide gravel driveway with extensive parking between the house and the cottage. The grounds have been beautifully landscaped and benefit from a smart irrigation system understood to be connected to the property's own well. The formal gardens feature a secluded BBQ hut, natural and koi ponds, an enclosed children's play area, vegetable garden, hen house and further animal pens.
In addition, there is a secondary driveway entrance providing good alternative access to the grounds and outbuildings. In all there are about 1.56 acres.

Situation

Situated just to the west of the highly regarded village of Wisborough Green, the surrounding countryside is characterised by gently undulating farmland, ancient woodland and an extensive network of footpaths and bridleways, ideal for walking, cycling and equestrian pursuits.
Wisborough Green is a quintessential English village centred around an expansive village green, complete with cricket pitch, two well-regarded public houses, a village shop/post office and a highly regarded primary school, together fostering a strong and active community spirit. Schooling in the area is particularly well catered for, with Wisborough Green Primary School is close at hand, along with further primary and secondary options in the surrounding villages and at Billingshurst, including The Weald Community School & Sixth Form. The area is also well served by a number of respected independent schools, including Pennthorpe Prep, Farlington, Dorset House, Christs Hospital, and Seaford College.
Billingshurst to the east also provides supermarkets, independent shops, and healthcare facilities, as well as a mainline railway station providing regular services to London Victoria (approximately 65 minutes) and the south coast. To the west lies the historic market town of Petworth, renowned for its charming antique shops, galleries and restaurants, as well as the National Trust-owned Petworth House and deer park.
The location benefits from excellent transport links. The A272 provides east–west connectivity across Sussex, linking to the A24 and A3 for routes towards London, Gatwick Airport and the wider motorway network.
