Hurst Road, Horsham, RH12

This stunning double fronted Victorian four bedroom detached home has been comprehensively and thoughtfully modernised and extended, seamlessly blending contemporary living with retained period features, including fireplaces, wooden floors, ornate cornicing and stone mullion windows. Set on a desirable corner plot, the property also benefits from the rare advantage of both a private driveway and garage, enhancing its practicality alongside its charm.

The property is approached via a front path leading to an attractive entrance porch with stained leaded glass door. From the reception hall, doors lead to two elegant bay-fronted reception rooms, both featuring working fireplaces and wooden flooring. To the rear, the impressive split-level kitchen/dining/family room is a real focal point, fitted with bespoke units, integrated appliances, Corian worktops and underfloor heating beneath slate tiled flooring, with doors opening onto the garden. A spacious utility/boot room and downstairs WC complete the ground floor, along with a useful cellar providing additional storage and housing the boiler and hot water cylinders.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom benefits from dual aspect sash windows and a stylish en suite with skylight, alongside three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom. A cleverly designed landing provides access to a charming loft room which could easily be converted into a further 5th bedroom if required.

Externally, the private rear garden is well enclosed and mainly laid to lawn with established borders and a sun terrace, ideal for entertaining. The garage, with power and light, is accessed via Gladstone Road, while the driveway provides off-street parking and includes an electric vehicle charging point, making this a highly practical home as well as a characterful one.
