Brighton Road, Shermanbury, Horsham, West Sussex

With red-brick and tile-hung elevations, 2 Wychwood Farm House is a charming semi detached cottage-style home which offers a modern living environment with a relaxed, sociable ambience and versatile, free-flowing accommodation. On the ground floor, the sitting room enjoys the comfort and warmth of a contemporary wood-burning stove, with an open aperture linking to the adjoining spacious kitchen/dining room. Centred around an Aga stove and fitted with wood-fronted farmhouse style cabinetry, the kitchen features stone work surfaces and integrated appliances with ample space for dining. A flexible-use family room is adjacent with bi-folding glazed doors connecting to the garden room which offers an inside/outside setting. On the first floor, there are three bedrooms, two with fitted wardrobe storage, along with a well-appointed family bathroom which was
refitted in 2023 and benefits for underfloor heating, which complements a modern shower room positioned on the floor below. Ancillary space is provided by an outside cloakroom and a utility room, which offers a home to domestic appliances, whilst a timber studio provides excellent home-working facilities.

Two timber five-bar gates gives access from the lane onto a driveway with areas of lawn, shrubs and a row of pollarded trees, and a further gate which opens to the frontage of the house. To the rear, the garden is laid to lawn interspersed with specimen trees and framed by planted beds
and hedging to the boundaries. A pond feature to one corner features pretty aquatic planting and is edged by a paved setting for seating and outside lighting, whilst a further south-facing terrace adjoins the rear of the house with direct access from the garden room. A track leads across to a gate providing a route to a further section of the grounds where a flourishing vegetable garden is joined by greenhouses and a summerhouse with water and electricity. For the equestrian enthusiast, the resources on offer include stables, tack room, store, outside WC, horse wash area with hot water shower, a flood lit 20 x 40 manège and paddocks, with fields leading to the banks of the River Adur which proves you with fishing and access to the water for swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding, all with the stunning backdrop of the West Sussex countryside and South Downs.
