Marlands Park, Barns Green, Horsham, West Sussex, RH13

Exceptional contemporary home, situated in an elevated position with views of parkland and the South Downs National Park.

Description

Stable House is a fabulous contemporary home set within rolling countryside offering exceptional living accommodation
and is superbly arranged for entertaining; both on a grand scale and for less formal occasions.

From the forecourt with ample parking for guests, an impressively modern reception hall benefits from a long skylight to create a superb sensation of space and light. This leads directly through to a particularly generous principal reception room with a large stone feature fireplace. As an entertaining space this room is perfect, being generously proportioned and benefitting from wide glass doors to a sheltered patio to the north and to a south facing terrace with distant views to the South Downs some eight miles away.

A large spacious kitchen/family dining room also benefits from the same views and terrace access, so providing free circulation to all areas, from here steps lead down to a further generous space with lantern skylight roof and full width bifold and patio doors to a further sun terrace. Electrically operated blinds control the light as desired. Whilst previously used as a combined formal dining room and family TV room it offers great flexibility of use dependent only on individual needs.

Bedroom accommodation is both generous and very well appointed and comprises a magnificent master suite with two dressing rooms and a south facing terrace. There are four further spacious en suite rooms, all with outside access.

In addition there is a spacious new home gym and office. One of the benefits throughout the property is the excellent storage with boot/dog room, utility room, guest cloakroom, garaging and garden store. There is also the rare added benefit of planning permission for an indoor spa and pool complex and also planning permission for an outdoor pool.

Stable House is approached from the lane via automatic electric gates onto a long private drive serving the four properties in Marland Park. A further electric gate secures the private drive to Stable House and leads to a spacious forecourt with parking and turning space for several cars.
The landscaped gardens surrounding the house comprise several areas of paved terrace with lawns beyond and woodland to the rear.

Beyond the gardens are two areas of fenced pasture land and an area of woodland. Adjoining the drive there is a newly built triple bay garage with storage behind. There is also planning permission for the erection of a 30m agricultural barn on the larger area of pasture. Total circa 40 acres. Please note some photos are from 2023.
