Old Millmeads, Horsham, West Sussex

A highly individual and significantly improved bungalow offering versatile accommodation extending to almost 2,000 sq ft, occupying a highly desirable position just moments from Horsham Park and less than a mile from Horsham town centre, hospital and railway station. This is a property that must be viewed to be fully appreciated. Deceptively spacious, impeccably presented and enjoying an exceptional degree of privacy from both neighbouring properties and the road, the home was extensively extended and renovated by the current owner in 2014 to an exceptionally high standard. The accommodation comprises three generous double bedrooms, with the principal suite being a particular highlight, featuring a partly vaulted ceiling, an open-plan dressing area, French doors opening onto the garden, and a luxurious en-suite wet room. The living accommodation is equally impressive, comprising a high-specification kitchen/breakfast room with integrated appliances, a utility room, and a spacious sitting room with a feature gas fireplace. Folding doors allow the sitting room to be opened seamlessly into the dining room, creating an excellent space for entertaining. The dining room is exceptionally bright and spacious, owing to a roof lantern and full-width bi-fold doors overlooking the garden. A further set of bi-fold doors, complete with integral blinds, opens into a versatile additional room which could serve as a fourth bedroom, home office, family room or hobby space. Further accommodation includes a welcoming entrance hall, cloakroom and a well-appointed family bathroom. The integral garage/store is accessed from the utility room and benefits from power, lighting and an up-and-over door to the front. To the front of the property, a driveway provides off-road parking and leads to two separate courtyard areas, each serving one of the property's two entrance points; one opening directly into the kitchen and the other to the front porch. The rear garden has been thoughtfully designed to provide a series of private outdoor spaces. Immediately adjoining the property is a secluded courtyard garden, accessed from both the dining room and principal bedroom, with paved patio and established planted borders creating a peaceful setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. A decorative red-brick wall with porthole openings and an ornate wrought-iron gate leads through to a further secluded lawned garden, bordered by mature planting and providing access to the side of the property. Offered to the market with the benefit of no onward chain.
