6 bed detached house for sale

Cross Colwood Lane, Bolney RH17

A wonderfully unique and substantial Georgian converted former stable block, offering exceptionally versatile accommodation within beautifully private gardens and grounds of approximately 0.7 of an acre

Occupying a delightful rural position between the sought-after villages of Bolney, Warninglid and Cowfold, the property is surrounded by rolling Sussex countryside interwoven with quiet country lanes and scenic walks. Despite its peaceful setting, the larger town of Haywards Heath lies approximately six miles to the east, offering an extensive selection of shops, restaurants, cafés and everyday amenities, together with a mainline railway station providing regular services to Brighton, Gatwick and London Victoria in approximately 42 minutes.

Positioned at the end of a private lane in an idyllic rural setting, this exceptional Georgian former stable block has been beautifully converted to create a highly individual country residence extending to approximately 5,697 sq ft including the double garage. Arranged around an elegant central courtyard, the accommodation enjoys a wonderfully atmospheric feel with an abundance of glazed doors opening onto the central courtyard, creating an exceptional environment for both indoor-outdoor living and entertaining. Rich in character throughout, the principal reception spaces include a magnificent vaulted sitting room centred around an open fireplace with quarry stone surround, a formal dining room featuring a bespoke oak staircase and a mezzanine study above, alongside a charming summer sitting room, games room and additional office space. The kitchen/breakfast room is well appointed with a range of integrated appliances and complemented by a particularly generous utility room. The layout offers outstanding versatility, currently providing seven bedrooms and five bathrooms with the flexibility to create a self contained annexe ideally suited to multigenerational living, guest accommodation or an au pair suite. Outside, the gardens enjoy a high degree of privacy with contemporary terraces and rendered plant beds adjoining the rear elevations, beyond which expansive south facing lawns are framed by mature shrubs and established planting. To the front, a sweeping shingle driveway provides extensive parking and access to the attached double garage.

The property is approached via timber gates opening onto a sweeping shingle driveway providing ample parking and access to the attached double garage with lawns flanking either side and creating an impressive sense of arrival. Beyond a further timber gate lies the beautifully enclosed central courtyard, fully paved and forming the heart of the home. Positioned discreetly to one corner is a substantial storage area incorporating twin log stores and a potting area, while a paved pathway extends along the side of the property leading past a sizable chicken coop, workshop and timber storage shed. To the rear, split level paved terraces adjoin the property, softened by contemporary rendered plant beds and directly accessed from both the summer sitting room and one of the principal bedrooms, creating a seamless connection between the house and gardens. Beyond, expansive south facing lawns enjoy an excellent degree of privacy, bordered by mature hedgerows and established trees.
