Outside
One of the main features of this property is it's magnificent gardens and grounds. The immediate gardens are set to lawn with an incredible array of mature trees (including two beautiful Magnolia's adjacent to the house). The gardens also a feature a pretty summer house and a well-screened tennis court. These wonderful main gardens are flanked by fields/paddocks and a pretty small block of woodland. The whole is accessed via a pair of automated gates down a long shingled driveway which culminates in a spacious parking and turning area in front of the house and the attached 4 car garage. This garage is of note, not only for its overall size but it also provides a spacious loft/store area above accessed by internal stairs. In total the whole amounts to about 8.82 acres (3.47 ha).

The area is known for its riding and therefore there is scope to (subject to planning) erect stables and provide a hobby equestrian set-up.

Situation
The property is situated in an exceptionally fine rural location about 6 miles to the east of Horsham town centre, approached by a private no through lane, one of the most sought after in the Horsham area, and adjacent to St. Leonard's Forest all within the High Weald area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The property benefits from a considerable degree of peace and seclusion, yet is within easy reach of excellent amenities including schools (Handcross Park, Cottesmore and Worth Abbey), golf courses (Cottesmore, Mannings Heath and Tilgate Park) and road and rail communications. A footpath and bridleways lead from the lane into St. Leonard’s Forest with its miles of walking and riding. Gatwick Airport is highly convenient being just 10 miles distant which offers services to London in 30 minutes via the Gatwick Express together with international travel.
