This is a home for people who want space to grow into, not out of. 

Abingworth Meadows has always appealed to those looking for a quieter pace without feeling cut off. Countryside walks begin just beyond the development, daily life remains easy to manage, and the neighbourhood feels established in the way newer places rarely do. It is somewhere families tend to stay, rather than pass through.

The house itself reflects that mindset. From the moment you step inside, the sense of space is immediate. The entrance hall is wide and welcoming, with useful storage built in and a ground floor WC positioned neatly away from the main living areas. It sets the tone for the rest of the house. Calm, practical, and easy to move through.

Life naturally gathers in the kitchen, dining and family room. It is a space designed for real use rather than display. The kitchen sits comfortably within the room, anchored by a central island that draws people together without dominating the space. There is room to cook, eat, and relax, all while staying connected. Wide glazing brings the garden into view, allowing light to move through the room and giving the day a gentle rhythm.

Just off the kitchen, a generous utility room quietly does the heavy lifting of family life. With space for appliances, storage, and direct access to both the rear garden and the double garage, it keeps the main living space clear and calm, even on busy days.

When the house needs to slow down, it can. A front facing sitting room with a bay window provides a more private place to retreat, filled with natural light and set apart from the main hub. Alongside this, a separate room works equally well as a home office or playroom, offering flexibility without compromise and allowing work, study, or play to happen without encroaching on shared space.

Upstairs continues the same sense of ease. The principal bedroom feels removed from the busier parts of the house, with fitted wardrobes and a private en suite finished in a simple, timeless style. A second bedroom also has its own en suite, quietly changing how the house works for older children, guests, or extended family. The remaining bedrooms are well proportioned and served by a family bathroom that mirrors the understated finish seen throughout.

Outside, the garden is flat, private, and made for everyday use. Doors open easily in warmer months, children have space to play, and the garden feels connected rather than detached from the house. The driveway and double garage sit comfortably within the plot, reinforcing a sense of space without excess.

This is a house that does not chase attention. It earns it quietly, through layout, flow, and how naturally it supports the way people live.

Location

Thakeham is a charming Sussex village, known for its attractive mix of period cottages, characterful homes, and a strong sense of community. At the heart of the village, you’ll find The White Lion Inn which is a charming pub which serves great food, and a historic church, both central to local life, all of which are an easy walk away via the local footpaths. 

Abingworth Crescent is part of the sought-after Abingworth Meadows development, which has quickly established itself as a vibrant and friendly neighbourhood. Residents enjoy a range of amenities rarely found in a village setting, including Meadow Stores and Café, perfectly positioned by the cricket pitch and village hall to create a lively community focal point.

For a wider choice of shops and services, the bustling village of Storrington is just over two miles away at the edge of the South Downs National Park. Here, you’ll find everything from a Waitrose and library to a health centre, dentists, and a variety of sports and social clubs, all set against the backdrop of the stunning South Downs.

Commuters are well served by Billingshurst station, around five miles to the north, with regular trains to London Victoria and the south coast. The larger towns of Horsham and Worthing are also within easy reach, at approximately 13 and 12 miles away respectively.
