Rusper Road, Ifield, RH11

Set in approximately 1.22 acres of absolutely beautiful, landscaped gardens, this characterful, period property has been sympathetically extended and improved. Near a handful of other similarly impressive homes, the house is well secluded, with delightful, verdant, garden views.

Architecturally interesting, thanks to its evolution from the original 16th century structure, through the Victorian addition and a more recent extension, the house has huge charm whilst also working well as a family home. It is generously proportioned throughout, with a unique layout, giving plenty of options for myriad family configurations. The ample, largely glazed, barn-style, vaulted kitchen-breakfast room makes the most of views and setting and is a real highlight. It has a mezzanine study above and is beautifully complemented by a huge, adjacent dining room off to one side, with, off to the other side, a further ample sitting room with wood burner and central snug, making for wonderfully sociable entertaining and family spaces.

Upstairs the principal bedroom suite, with its vaulted ceiling and boutique-style en-suite bathroom with free-standing bath and double French doors overlooking the garden, is a real showstopper! The remaining bedrooms are spread out across the house, with two large doubles in the original Victorian part and two further bedrooms in the older part of the house, with beautiful beamed walls and ceilings.

Outside

The garden is a true delight! With areas of wild-flower meadow interspersed with wide walkways and various seating areas, including one within a Silver Birch tree circle, looking back at the house, it's truly idyllic. There is a charming pond with a bridge across, all against a backdrop of mature trees and shrubs. At the bottom end of the garden is a bank of solar panels which make a substantial contribution to the house's running costs.

On the front driveway there is ample parking, a double car barn and EV charging.

Situation

Enjoying a peaceful semi-rural position on Rusper Road, midway between Rusper village and Ifield West, the property perfectly balances countryside living with convenient access to amenities, with Gatwick (around 8 miles), Horsham (around 6 miles) and Crawley (under 4 miles). For commuters, Ifield Station is under 2 miles away, offering direct services to Gatwick (approx. 15 mins) and London Blackfriars (approx. 1 hour). There are some excellent state schools locally including Bohunt, Millais and Forest School.
