Abingworth Crescent, Thakeham, RH20 3GW

REF RM1298

Most modern developments ask you to compromise. Abingworth Meadows is one of the few that doesn't.

Step out of the front door and within minutes you're walking into open West Sussex countryside. Footpaths, fields, the Downs on the horizon. The kind of setting that takes a while to find and longer to leave.

Inside, the layout flows well for everyday family life. The sitting and dining room runs to over 17 feet and feels it, with French doors at the rear drawing your eye straight out to the garden. It's a proper living space rather than a corridor with furniture in it — enough room for a dining table at one end and a sofa arrangement at the other without either feeling compromised. The kitchen is separate from the main living space, clean and well-fitted with ample storage and plenty of worktop space. A downstairs WC completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, the three bedrooms are arranged around a landing that gives each room its own sense of space. The main bedroom sits at the front of the house, the larger of the three at over 14 feet deep with plenty of room for a double bed, side tables and wardrobes. Bedrooms two and three face the rear with a garden outlook. Bedroom two is a double with space for freestanding wardrobes and the third is a well-proportioned single with fitted storage that works just as naturally as a home office or study. A family bathroom completes the accommodation.

Outside, the rear garden faces south and makes the most of it. Lawn, decking, established borders, and enough space to actually use through the summer months. To the front, a private driveway with a smart EV charger already installed.

Abingworth Meadows has quickly established itself as one of the most popular developments in West Sussex. At its centre sits a cricket green, village hall, and the well-regarded Meadow Stores and café, creating a natural focal point for day-to-day life. The pond sits just moments from the property, and the surrounding footpaths connect directly to open countryside and the wider network of Sussex walking routes.

The development sits within Thakeham village, known for its period cottages, characterful homes, and a genuine sense of community. The village pub and historic church are both an easy walk via the local footpaths.

For a wider range of shops and services, Storrington is just over two miles away at the edge of the South Downs National Park, with a Waitrose, library, health centre, dentists, and a variety of sports and social clubs. Billingshurst and Pulborough stations are both within around five miles, with regular trains to London Victoria and the south coast. Horsham and Worthing are both within easy reach at approximately 13 and 12 miles respectively.

A location that works as well for day-to-day living as it does for the longer term.
