Tanyard Lane, Staplefield, RH17

The Farmhouse has been the subject of an extensive programme of extension, refurbishment and redecoration during the vendor’s ownership and now offers an exceptionally well-presented family home.

The core of the house is thought to be a timbered Tudor Hall house with Horsham stone roof, adapted by the later insertion of a large inglenook fireplace, which now serves both the formal sitting room and drawing room. Later additions provide both the spacious kitchen/breakfast room and family snug on the ground floor, and the master suite on the first floor.

The house has been the subject of complete redecoration overseen by a well-known local interior designer. Of particular note are the hand-built Martin Moore Kitchen, the quality of the internal joinery and finishes, and the bright and stylish country décor throughout.

The house extends to some 3,766 square feet (349 square meters). On the ground floor accommodation includes drawing room, sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room, family room, entrance hall, utility/ boot room and cloakroom. On the first floor is a master bedroom suite comprising bedroom, dressing area, walk-in wardrobe and en-suite bathroom, 5 further bedrooms and family bathroom.

The house offers all the charm and character of a historic Sussex Farmhouse, whilst benefitting from a layout that lends itself to modern family living and is presented to the very best standards.

The property is located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty surrounded by beautiful National Trust land, with its own private bluebell woodlands and next to the world famous Nymans House and Gardens.

Dillions is located on a private lane to the northeast of the village of Staplefield, offering privacy and seclusion whilst providing easy access to at A23, Gatwick Airport which lies approximately 12 miles to the north and both Haywards Heath and Balcombe stations with onward links to London Bridge and London Victoria.

Whilst situated in a rural position with far reaching views over the Sussex countryside, access to facilities is close by, with the Jolly Tanner and Victory pubs in Staplefield, and further ranges of villages shops, pubs, GP surgery, butchers and bakers in Handcross to the north and Cuckfield to the south.
