Littleworth Lane, Partridge Green, Horsham, West Sussex

With an attractive façade featuring red-brick and tile-hung elevations, distinctive chimney stacks and elegant window design, Grinstead House Farm offers a secluded rural residence with the benefit of additional accommodation in a well-appointed cottage. A vestibule at the entrance to the main house provides a sheltered threshold and a spot to cast-off and store outdoor wear, leading to a grand hallway giving access to the various ground floor rooms. These comprise a refined drawing room with recessed fireplace and bay window alcove which offers French doors to the garden. A study is adjacent with bespoke wall cupboard storage, whilst just beyond is a formal dining room. A second large reception room or family/ sitting room offers an external door linking to the outside. Fitted with high-quality cabinetry, the impressive kitchen/breakfast room has a cream Aga stove with decorative tiled splashback and an island unit, with the adjoining informal dining area enjoying the enhanced illumination of a skylight lantern and glazed double doors opening onto an American style covered veranda with views over the gardens.
On the first floor, most of the rooms benefit from elevated southerly views over the surrounding countryside. There are six bedrooms, three with en suite facilities, and a stylish family bathroom. Providing a restful retreat, the principal room has a bay window with southerly outlook, an adjoining dressing room and an en suite bathroom.

The detached cottage comprises three bedrooms, one with en suite, a sitting room, kitchen, bathroom and utility room.

The property is surrounded by parkland-style grounds including swathes of lawn and majestic mature trees, with timber post-and-rail fencing affording far reaching views beyond the garden over fields to glorious countryside. Raised paved terracing spans the back of the house offering opportunities for outdoor entertaining, dining and relaxation whilst enjoying the elevated vistas. A second terrace to the side offers an alternative spot to enjoy the outside, whilst a decked platform provides an al fresco setting alongside the pool house. There is a large natural pond bordering the driveway which provides a magnet to wildlife and a chance to have fun in a boat. A plethora of outbuildings offer a wealth of possibility and include stabling, garaging and an immense barn.

The property occupies a secluded and picturesque setting, predominately south facing, just off Littleworth Lane, situated to the north of Partridge Green and west of the village of Cowfold. The larger village of Henfield to the south has a good range of shops, restaurants and public houses, whilst slightly further afield, the market town of Horsham provides a comprehensive range of shopping, including a John Lewis at Home, Waitrose and the Swan Walk shopping centre. The mainline station at Horsham has services to London, Peterborough and Bognor Regis and there is easy access to the A23 and A24 for links to the major road network. Well-regarded schooling in the vicinity includes Millais Girls and Forest Boys Schools, Tanbridge, Handcross Park, Christ’s Hospital and Farlington School.
