Hammerpond Road, Horsham, West Sussex

Built in the 1930's to accommodate the chauffer for the owners of the former Doomsday House, is this delightful wisteria clad cottage.  Nestled within its own private garden, this hidden gem is located along Hammerpond Road on the south east side of Horsham.  Presented to the market for the first time in over 40 years, the cottage has been well maintained and is offered for sale in very good decorative order, and features original Oak framed leaded crittall windows, a fine Oak front door and internal doors of the era.  The cottage was extended in the 1970's, and the accommodation, which has been enhanced by the current owners over the years, comprises, on the first floor, two double bedrooms and a shower room.  On the ground floor, there is an entrance hall, off which is the sitting room overlooking the garden, a good sized dining/family room, a study, a light Oak fitted kitchen with built in appliances, and a bathroom.  There is a modern gas fired heating system to radiators and some double glazed fitments.  Outside, a private driveway provides off road parking for 2-3 cars and leads to a detached single garage.  The private gardens are predominantly to the front and side of the property, surrounded by privet, conifer and hedgerow borders and laid to lawn with maturing flower and shrub beds.  As previously mentioned, the property lies along Hammerpond Road, just off of St Leonards Road, and falls within the catchment of Heron Way, Forest and Millais schools. Horsham town centre and the railway station are within easy walking distance and the location affords easy access to numerous public footpaths around St Leonards Forest, Chesworth Farm, the Horsham River Walk, and beyond.
