A characterful part timber-framed family home providing generously-proportioned accommodation, sensitively combining modern amenities with exposed beams, providing a stunning family and entertaining environment. Located on the rural outskirts of a vibrant Sussex village, yet convenient for transport links to London and Gatwick Airport.
Broomhill House is an characterful detached family home offering nearly 3,300 sq ft of welcoming,light-filled and flexible accommodation arranged over two floors. From the 16th century “2 up 2 down” timber framed cottage at its core, Broomhill has been imaginatively extended by the current owners, adding the Border Oak framed living room in 2009 and kitchen in 2015 which, together with high-quality fixtures, under floor heating, and tasteful finishes, create an impressive and homely setting for family living and entertaining.

The layout flows from a welcoming reception to the main living room with a woodburning stove and French doors opening onto the south facing terrace and garden. To the rear, in the oldest part of the house, a versatile and cosy snug, currently used as study, features a fireplace with another wood burner, adjoining which is a utility and ground floor bathroom with a freestanding bath. On the west side of the house a large triple-aspect dining/sitting room features wooden flooring and an open fireplace. At the heart of the southerly aspect is a light filled and beautifully designed kitchen/dining room, with a vaulted ceiling, bespoke cabinetry, a substantial
central island featuring a unique circular sink and breakfast bar, and integrated appliances. French doors open to the terrace and garden on three sides to the east, south and west. Overhead, a mezzanine-level study offers further flexible living/office space.

From the ground floor snug a staircase rises to a single bedroom, connected to a double bedroom which is also accessible via the main staircase from the dining room. The same main staircase leads to twofurther spacious double bedrooms, one with fitted storage, and a family bathroom. The property’s large vaulted principal bedroom sits above the main living room, with fitted storage,full-height glazing, a Juliet balcony with views over the garden, a freestanding cast iron bath and an en-suite with shower.
