Duncton, Petworth, West Sussex, GU28

Superb detached home offering extensive family accommodation in a village setting near the church.

Description

Believed to have been built in the 1960s, Toad Hall is being offered for sale for the first time in over forty years. The property has been exceptionally well maintained and thoughtfully improved over the years, and now provides extensive accommodation ideally suited to family living. It may also appeal to multi-generational buyers, thanks to the inclusion of a self-contained annexe.

The ground floor comprises an entrance hall, cloakroom, spacious sitting room, study and conservatory. A particular feature of the property is the impressive kitchen/breakfast room, which enjoys a delightful outlook over the rear garden. Well equipped with a comprehensive range of units, the room is large enough to accommodate a breakfast table and also benefits from a useful pantry and separate utility room. In addition, there is a separate dining room.

On the first floor, the main house offers four generous bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from an en suite bathroom, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom. Access to the annexe is provided from the first-floor landing, leading into a well-proportioned reception room and kitchen fitted with modern units. The annexe also provides two bedrooms and a contemporary shower room.

There is further potential to create additional ground-floor accommodation within the annexe, subject to any necessary consents.

Outside, the property is approached via a driveway providing ample parking for numerous vehicles, alongside an attractive front garden. There is a large integral garage, a garden room and a useful range of stables and separate workshop. Side access leads to the rear garden, which features a patio and a generous expanse of lawn, enjoying wonderful views across the adjoining farmland. The garden is of an excellent size yet remains relatively easy to maintain.
