Forest Road, Horsham, West Sussex

A deceptively spacious and beautifully presented four double bedroom detached chalet bungalow, extensively enlarged and significantly improved by the current owners to an exceptional standard, occupying a private south-facing plot on the ever-popular Forest Road, just two miles from Horsham town centre and within easy walking distance of the picturesque St Leonard's Forest. Originally constructed in the late 1920s, the property has had substantial rear and roof-space extensions creating a superbly spacious and versatile family home. The property now offers accommodation across two floors, finished throughout with high-quality fixtures, bespoke fittings, and stylish contemporary décor. The ground floor accommodation includes two generous double bedrooms, including an impressive principal suite with luxury en suite wet room, together with an additional shower room. At the heart of the home is a stunning bespoke In-Toto kitchen/dining room fitted to a high specification with Silestone work surfaces and integrated appliances, opening into the dining area and creating an ideal entertaining space. To the rear, a bright and spacious sitting room enjoys views across the garden, with bi-fold doors opening outside and a contemporary multi-fuel stove forming an attractive focal point. To the first floor is a spacious landing area with excellent built-in storage, serving two further double bedrooms and an additional family bathroom, making the layout ideal for families, guests, or those seeking flexible work-from-home arrangements. Outside, the gardens are a particular feature of the property, enjoying an excellent degree of privacy together with a sunny southerly aspect. Beautifully landscaped, the gardens include paved and decked seating areas, a water feature, pond, established planting, raised vegetable beds, and greenhouse, creating a wonderfully tranquil outdoor environment. A substantial detached garden studio extending to over 200 sq ft provides a highly versatile additional space, currently used as a workshop but equally suited to use as a home office, gym, studio, or entertainment room. The building benefits from its own wood-burning stove, three-phase electricity supply, lighting, and multiple power points. To the front of the property, a generous driveway provides ample off-road parking and access to the attached garage. No chain.
